Thank you for your comment
Do not use romex in PVC conduit. Use THHN. If you used THHN, you wouldn't need to tie two different colors of wire together on your switch leg. Your switch leg should be on the black wire side of the circuit. All of your boxes should be grounded by a ground pig tail with a wire nut. This circuit, as wired, is a shock hazard waiting to happen.
Thank you for your comment like I said in the description of the video I am not a electrician I mostly use these videos to learn how to do them correctly Hopefully people will read your comment and learn how to do it right thank you again
THHN AND THWN are very different. The "W" in THWN, stands for "water resistance". Always use THWN when running wire in exterior or buried conduit. THHN is for interior conduit runs. Sorta like how schedule 80 pvc is better for burial vs schedule 40 which is better for exposed applications.
Thank you for your comment
Just a FYI never use regular outlets outside. Those should be gcfi outlets. If something happens or shorts out. The outlets will trip instead of risking a fire or possible electrocution.
All of those outlets are connected to a GFI switch. Thank you for your comment though we are all here to learn from each other and I appreciate you teaching us
@@texasnow3511 oh ok gotcha my opology
@@texasnow3511 you got it set up like how I set up my garage 😏👍👍👍
The devices still must be weather resistant. There is an abbreviation on weather resistant devices. (WR)
Great video ,just found your video becsuse i wanted to get an idea how to DIY... great job... 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your comment
Great instructional video. Especially like the way you run the video in fast motion but then narrate separately. That is most effective and efficient time-wise for folks watching, and not wanting to sit through slow, real-time, footage. Much appreciated!
Thank you for your comment I appreciate it
this is good to know. thanks for the great videos
Yes I agree .... watching him work is amazing.... truly ... amazing.. he looks like he has such soft hands
Yes this good to know, how not to do it
Where is the GFCI at?
Be cautious as you can’t put insulated wire in conduit.
that was my question because NeC says you can't ?
false. you can't use romex in conduit because the ground is non insulated. it must be THHN wire as all connectors are insulated
ROMEX IS A BRAND NAME AND IT'S A CABLE, SO, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO RUN NM CABLE INTO A RACEWAY. THE PROBLEM IS, THAT TYPE OF NM CABLE IS NOT LISTED FOR WET LOCATIONS. UF TYPE NM CABLE IS LISTED TO BE INSTALLED IN A WET LOCATION AND IS ALLOWED TO BE IN A RACEWAY.
THHN is for interior conduit applications. THWN is for exterior or burial conduit applications. Learn and know before you teach, guys.
A schematic would be nice
Learn and know before you teach, dude. 😎
I am not a teacher or am I teaching anyone? I just put online what I do and hope that it helps somebody in what they do. I actually learn more from people like you that comment. Thank you for teaching us.
OMG, IS THIS APPLICATION IN THE USA?
Yes lol I am not an electrician. Please let me know what I did wrong so others do not make my mistake.
TEXAS, YOU DID WELL, I ALSO MADE MANY MISTAKES AND VIOLATIONS WHEN DOING ELECTRICAL. JUST BE CAREFUL AND ALWAYS DO THE BEST WORK, USE THE BEST MATERIALS AND ALWAY THINK SAFEGUARDING THE PUBLIC AND YOURSELF. CHECK THE LISTING OF ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS THAT YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR PROJECT. REMEMBER, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT & MATERIALS ARE APPLICATED PER THE ENVIRONMENT. FINALLY, NOT ALL ELECTRICIANS ARE ALIKE.

Wrong in so many ways.
* wrong wire used. ( no romex inside conduit in wet locations. Need THHN wire.
* ground wire not bonded with the metal box, also missing wire nut or crimp connector and pig tail for the ground wire .
* the switch connection was wrong .
* if you want to split the outlet 1 hot and 1 switched gotta cut the tab on the hot side .
Note: the conduit looks nice.
I bet it still didnt work right. He did everything wrong.
I’m not an electrician, so I’m curious as to why you can’t put Romex in conduit?
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO RUN NM CABLE INTO A CONDUIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TYPE OF NM CABLE IS LISTED FOR INDOOR USAGE AND NOT FOR WET LOCATIONS. NOW, IF UF NM CABLE WAS USED IT WOULD BE CODE COMPLIANT.
VARIOUS VIOLATIONS ARE HAPPENING HERE WHICH YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED, BUT THE METAL BOX DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BONDED DUE TO IT BEING SURFACE MOUNTED AND A DEVICE IS BEING ATTACHED TO THAT SINGLE-GANG OUTLET BOX. BUT, THE DEVICES INSULATED TABS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE 6-32 MACHING SCREWS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INSTALLERS TWISTING OF CONDUCTORS FOR A CONNECTION IS A BAD PRACTICE AND A VIOLATION.
I am not electrician. I am also curious why you can’t use Romax I’ve had this hooked up for the last three years running constantly unless I turn it off to clean the filters.
Wrong wire you can’t use that’s for indoor
Thank you for your comment. This channel is for learning and teaching so I appreciate you letting us know that we cannot use that wire outside. I did not know that when I made this video I found out it was supposed to be single strands.
Why you sound so sad?
Tears in your eyes
I don't know I was probably tired lol thanks for your comment and thank you for watching the video
Per NEC, you can't put romex in conduit due to the conduit being outside which is considered a wet or damp location. THWN is the correct wire you need for this application. You also have way too much romex sleeve in the box and it is required per NEC to have no less than 6" of exposed conductor terminated to the device. This is dangerous, sloppy work. Don't post misinformation and stupidity like this ever. Hire a licensed electrician. Good luck 👍🇺🇲
