tacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A "drip-loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user
for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The
"drip-loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the
connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
