I'm taking an electrical trade class right now and watching your hands on videos really helps to understand the type of work i can do. Your videos help me in class thank you and please continue to make more videos.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
You’re welcome. I appreciate you stopping by to watch the video!
We love you, Josh ❤
You are the man 💪
Always coming up with helpful videos and great content 👌
Thank you sir! Now I have 20 + recepticals in my garage
Great! So glad I could help!
Brother, you're going to help me wire up a three bedroom house. I'll be back with some questions..😂
Finish wiring is always rewarding because things are looking more finished. I love hooking the wires as you explained wrapping the wires around the screw and not inserting in the back slots unless the switch or outlet is set up like the switches you had. In our area if you have a 20amp circuit and of course 12/2 wire, the outlets and switches need to be 20amp rated. Of course It's important to check with your local codes. Doing so much more remodeling I also love putting my covers on with the screws going vertical. If I've ever had to do a service call I could easily tell if someone else took a cover off or did something. That usually didn't happen except when I had a dimmer switch that a customer thought was overheating. I had to make sure that I purchased the right dimmer with the proper voltage based on how many lights were on the circuit. After explaining to the customer how dimmer switches can give off some warmth he understood and he explained that he took the cover off to check things out himself. I like your layout of three-way wiring as well. When you get used to doing things for so long it's so much more comfortable. Thanks again for all the detailed video with everything even tagging all your wires knowing what goes where. It's so rewarding to see things being put together for the final stage. Definitely many hammer the like in the comments. 🔨🔨🔨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It is really nice to see it all. Come together after the drywall is complete. Yes the backstabbing seems to be a inferior way of making the connection. It seems to be a common theme amongst people that wire. That makes sense about the 20 amp circuit with the 20 amp switch, because I guess essentially you could have 20 amp going through there because of multiple devices. Checking local building codes is very important because of stuff like that! Labeling the wires not only helps me but a future electrician that might have to work in the electrical box. Thanks for stopping by David. It's always nice to see your comment!
Hey Josh, great video as always!!!
I noticed a couple other people mentioned the why you would split the receptacle so I won't explain it but will will say the practice is called a half-hot. 😉
Keep up the great videos
Splitting the receptacle allows you to put one half to a switch and the other half will have constant power. Using 14/3, you would keep the neutral side whole and only split the hot side. Mostly used in bedrooms.
I am here for electrician knowledge. But: the originl of that style of music is Boards of Canada - Everything you do is a Balloon 🎈
Good teaching
Thank you!
Greetings from Detroit brother, good stuff! I like how you use a piece of the insulation sheathing to label the wires. I’m stealing that idea btw 🍻
Thanks! The cool thing about using the sheathing for labeling is that it is already wrote on the cable before you remove the sheathing so it's just repurposing it. Steal away! This information is a help everybody as much as it can.
@@TheExcellentLaborer Ty sir 👍
Nice sharing 🤝😎
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing
8:25, oh I’ve been in a rental home with power to the top outlet only lol
The reason to break the connection between top and bottom is so the top can be switched while the bottom is always hot..
Hi Would you mind make a video how to take electric power from the home to the garage from beginning to end
Check out this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLS7MTj0ntoKscT77MC00BBlymD7GsAG-7 and watch the first two videos. Then watch this video
ruclips.net/video/gfaw-XAvn4M/видео.html of how I made the connections from the house to the subpanel. It will definitely help!
Can you show a difference between wiring plastic and metal boxes?
If you had the upper outlet on a wall switch, you would break the tab. The lower would be always powered on a separate run.
Oh yes, thanks for your idea!
How many receptacles do you place on a single circuit? And, stupid question, but is a duplex (two outlets) considered one receptacle, or is it considered two?
Hey brother i have a question for a project im doing. I need to put an outlet in my shed that is about 65 ft away from the closest circuit breaker is it okay to use 14 g wire for this? Im wanting to use the outlet for a lamp and maybe a couple power tools.
@@Navy1977 yeah i guess 14 g can only go to 60 ft max but 12 can go 100 max 10 can go 115, so im thinkin 12 should do the job.
what switches are you using that have saddle clamps like that? i'd love some of those
If you check out the links in the description, you will find them there. I hope that helps!
I'm surprised in the US you still use bare copper as an earth in T&E cable, in Australia our standard was changed in 1966 to require the earth to be insulated in T&E cabling, before this the bare earth wire was also required to have a green sheath to cover the exposed wire at the connection point, funny how different things are around the world 👌👌
In Australia your government also clipped your bals.
Garage needs 20 amp switches and 20 amp receptacles cause most shop equipment pull's some amps.
I "think" a duplex receptacle counts as two
