The rear bezel portion may have openings aligned with the respective openings of the rear bezel portion for receiving the blades of the plug. In addition, the electrical outlet may have a temporary bezel when stocked at the manufacturer and/or the warehouse. The temporary bezel may be removed from the outlet and a permanent bezel may be installed on the outlet prior to shipment.
