am wiring a plug/cord into a new dishwasher for installation and I came accross a intersting ground nut. It is like an inverted cup with feet sitting against the back of the splice box with a nut running through the middle? I am accustomed to a typical green ground screw. How do you use this type of setup. Run the ground wire in back of this cup and just cinch down the cup onto it until it is snug? I am tempted to just take it off and replace with a standard ground screw, put a pigtail wire nut unit onto the ground on the plug wire and they place the u shaped copper connector onto the ground nut and cinch it down. Probably a more secure setup??? Any advice. Thanks.
