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.
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.
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.
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. TAKECARE AC
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.
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.
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
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 👍🇺🇲

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.
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!
