Hey there!
I removed an old wall outlet. It had 9 wires connected to it. 3 sets of white, red and black wires. I want to install a new one. What outlet do I buy and how do I make the connections? The outlet is not controlled by a switch.
Thanks
Alain

I think that you need to hire an electrician. Not sure what the reds do but the one of the blacks have power and the whites are your neutrals. It’s just a regular receptacle
