      2:12 Installation is done properly. The insulation has been pulled back to safely attach stranded wire. BTW what code in the NEC are you referring to?

    How did you pigtail the wire for the switch from your romex from the outlet?

      If I'm understanding your question correctly, how to connect everything is actually covered in detail in part 3 of this series.

      since it's on a 20A breaker I used 12 gauge THHN wire. I would recommend stranded vs solid for ease of making it around turns and bends. just make sure everything else is rated for outdoor or weather use.

      @@victorbeltran5304 With that said, also make sure it's protected by a GFCI. If you watch the third video in the series you'll see how I tied this to the existing GFCI circuit to ensure everything I was doing would be protected.

    Do you have a list of items you purchased?

    • @HowitsdoneHandyman
      @HowitsdoneHandyman  2 года назад +1

      it's going to be different for each setup but a general outline of what I used was single gang PVC boxes for the outlets two gang box for the switches, weatherproof in-use covers, and obviously make sure the holes on the boxes are sized for the PVC size your using. If you are on a 15amp branch circuit you can use 14 Gauge wires. if it is a 20A you'll need to use 12 gauge wires. stranded THHN is fine for both.

      I'm using 12AWG THHN for the wires in the conduit and 12-2 romex is used to tie into the existing 20A GFCI circuit in part 3.

      @HowitsdoneHandyman  Год назад +1

      yeah, the current code would require you to have weather-resistant outlets. Not difficult to swap out but definitely more expensive.

    Outdoor outlets should be GCFI. Even though switches don’t NEED a neutral, a neutral should have still been run to the box and capped off (that’s my local code anyway). Not using jumper cables anywhere… ur killing me 😫😆

    • @HowitsdoneHandyman
      @HowitsdoneHandyman  2 года назад +1

      If you watch part 3 I explain how I connected this in the attic and how it's protected by the GFCI circuit in the garage.

    • @HowitsdoneHandyman
      @HowitsdoneHandyman  2 года назад +1

      In terms of the neutral wire, I believe you're referring to NEC 404.2(c). However, since this was wired in conduit and powers a receptacle load exceptions 1, 2, and 7 would apply and so a neutral would not be required by code.

    • @Maatson_
      @Maatson_ 2 года назад +1

      Neutral not required and as for gfci as long as the first outlet has it the the next ones down the line are automatically gfci protected.
