The live wire is on the left-hand side while the neutral wire is on the right-hand side. It is fairly simple to connect the wires to the plug socket this is because all plugs today come with connectors.

How to fit left and right hand couplings?

The trick for left- and right-hand fittings and couplings is to get the correct bite the first time. The way to do that is to insert one side of the nipple/coupling and hand-tighten. Count the number of turns to get it to hand-tight. Then take apart and do the same on the other side.

Which is correct the right hand side or the left hand side?

you are more likely to hear that “the right-hand side is a^2+b^2 ” rather than just “the right side is a^2+b^2 ”. The ex­pres­sions “right-hand side” and “left-hand side” are com­monly ab­bre­vi­ated to “RHS” and “LHS”, re­spec­tively, in math­e­mat­i­cal texts. By the way,…

The trick for left- and right-hand fittings and couplings is to get the correct bite the first time. The way to do that is to insert one side of the nipple/coupling and hand-tighten. Count the number of turns to get it to hand-tight. Then take apart and do the same on the other side.

Can a neutral plug be connected to a hot plug?

There is only one way to insert a three-prong plug into a three-prong receptacle. But regular two-prong plugs, which lack the ground prong, can be connected with either prong on the hot side. To prevent that from happening, the receptacles are polarized, which means that the neutral prong is wider than the hot prong.
