an Old Electrician of 35 yrs in 1975 told me. when installing and outlet or wall switch Remember"Black on Brass will save your a**"

People, please leave constructive criticism. Your negative comments don’t help anyone. Grow up, at least he is trying to help.

I always see on DIY videos people running a knife blade down the length of the wire covering risking nicking the insulation on the wires. The safest way to remove the cover is to only cut about an inch of it and then pull on the ground wire to the desired length which will easily split open the cover

@rhoonah5849 Год назад

I agree completely. As an EMT, I was cringing as I watched him drag that knife toward his hand.

@nickyjames1430 3 года назад

Thanks Nick. Many people don't know a GFCI has two sets of screws and incoming power always goes to the line screws (hot and neutral). The load screws are only for feeding & protecting extra outlets downstream from the GFCI. If you connect power to the load screws, there is no shock protection from the GFCI.

@edbouhl3100 2 года назад

That’s evidence that some owners will tamper with wiring without reading the directions. Gives diy a bad name.

@CAkinCAkin 4 года назад

Thank you. I needed a quick refresher on this. Now I can go to the project with minimal fumbling around.

@tameralaskaris6909 6 лет назад

Really good video! I can see this method makes it possible to do all the exterior box wiring prior to mounting the box to the exterior wall making for a quick installation during the winter.

@landonlandon5533 Год назад

This is exactly what I was looking for. This looks like it will work for new construction with vinyl rectangle boxes as well.

Because I had you explain it slowly, I was able to understand even English me whom I was hard for to deal with. Thank you. Surely you will be a splendid skill person.

@randallsemrau7845 8 месяцев назад

I mounted my box like you demonstrated, and my kid knocked it right off the wall when he ran past it with a snow ski in his hands. The screws tore right out, with some of the siding. When I reinstalled it, put in larger diameter screws, and long enough to penetrate the sheathing. As another viewer recommended, I also shimmed the lower half, where the box sits further out from the siding. Then I had my kid purposefully run into the box again. There, fixed it for you.

@snedboy6370 9 лет назад

@henrypratt3742 4 года назад

On an uneven surface like the siding on this house he should have installed screws at all 4 corners of the box along with a spacer at bottom.

Thank you for the great video. I have a question, is that plastic conduit next to the oulet running electrical wires? My house is 100+ years old and I want to run two new lines to the attic to update the wiring in the 2nd floor. I was thinking about using 1/2" metal conduit to bring the new lines up.

@markoliver717 4 года назад

I would recommend making sure your wire exits in the center of a shingle then you are guaranteed a flat surface which helps ensure the box is more secure. Also use sheet metal or some type of weather resistant screws.

@henrypratt3742 4 года назад

Sheet metal screws into wood siding?

@markoliver717 4 года назад

@@henrypratt3742 Didn't mean to offend you, what i said concerning the screws was sheet metal or some type of weather resistant screws. And for those who think I'm unqualified. I am a 43 year electrical veteran in business for 33 years, teaching at a tech school for 10

@rhoonah5849 Год назад

I agree. I don't like how that box wasn't fully secured to the house.

Very nice. Especially the sealing at the back/cable entry. Went thru numerous videos and that's one critical part not addressed. Aren't there some double compression glands that could do a more robust installation?

Nicely connected, although a piece of cedar should have been installed behind the lower half of the box where it overhangs the siding. Makes for a more secure mount, and just as important, a much nicer looking job.

wait i can drill straight through my box into exterior brick wall to build an outlet? and how did you wired the inside part

@lelechim 4 года назад

I bought an unfinished house where the seller had already drilled the holes to the outside and ran wires through them, but they're just sticking out from the house with caps on the ends but there's no electrical box, so it's basically how 3:10 shows it. Now I know what to do!
