In my area and told at numerous IAEI continuing education classes that you should never run type NM-B ( Romex is a brand name ) in conduit. Most inspectors will allow NM-B cable in a say 3 to 6' long piece of conduit to sleeve cable down a basement wall to protect cable.

how did you ground the box initiallY?

@phonotd 3 года назад

Nice job and it's interesting to see the difference in wiring codes. Here in the UK regulations are that any bare copper earth conductors must have green and yellow sleeving on them in back boxes and so on. Also when joining wires screw block connectors are used or, as it seems more commonly now, Wago connectors which use little levers to clamp the wires in place.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 года назад

Thank you

@kennethadams8447 2 года назад

Where did u start the conduit?? The first box is surface mounted & then bare wire. I see the ends are in conduit. Do you need to have conduit from the source or can the wire be surface mounted & stapled(etc) to the drywall? Thanks for posting this!!

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 2 года назад

I started the conduit at the first box and it extends to the next box. I didn't want any exposed wire along the wall. I don't believe you should staple the wire to the outside of the sheet rock.

@peacefrog0521 2 года назад

Question: at 10:40, what kind of screws did you use to attach the cover to the box? I’ve got a few boxes in my garage with missing screws, some covers are held on with only one screw. I’d like to get new screws and put them in but not sure what kind to get. Thx

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 2 года назад

I just used the screws that came with the box cover. I would think any hardware store will have replacement screws for metal box lids. Sorry but I don't know the size and thread count.

1/2” conduit is big enough fill for 12/2 Romex?

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Год назад

Mine are labeled in the main breaker box. You can flip the breaker you think it is and then go test the outlet to see if you have the correct one.

@thomasmarable6818 3 года назад

The first box you put in is wrong. You can not cover a box with a box, big code violation. It should have been removed or an extension box put over it.

@chesslover8829 3 года назад

In addition to your comment, I would have used THHN wire, instead of Romex, and I would have taped the wire nut connections.

@JohnThomas-lq5qp Год назад

As a life long electrician NEVER waste your money on a 20 amp receptacle unless a window air conditioner requires it. A 15 amp duplex receptacle is perfectly legal to install on a 20 amp Arc Fault circuit breaker ( also provides GFCI protection ). The insides of all 15 & 20 amp duplex receptacles are identical. I've been in my house over 45 years and NEVER had to use a 20 amp male plug. ran 3/4" EMT conduit in my garage for additional receptacles.

@JohnThomas-lq5qp Год назад

Not legal to have splices that are no readily accessable going by the NEC. Two possible ways of what you should have done. 1) installed a 1/2" chase nipple and made splices inside of new 1900 box or 2) cut an opening as large as possible then install & glue a tubing to protect wires and make splices in old existing wall box. Have to use 6/32 screws to secure new box to wall box.

@djjammindave Год назад

I RECOMMEND USING GLOVES WHEN WORKING WITH THIS TYPE OF INSTALLATION.

@wizard3z868 3 года назад

you cld have cut down the connections by daisy chaining the outlets together leaving just one set of wires from coverplate to tie into the other two loads leaving just 3 wire nuts with three conductors under 2 and a copper crimp or larger wire nut for the grounds or the special green pass thru wirenut with just 3 conductors sill for the ground. i do add wire extensions too when i wire up boxes like this example i wld have added one extra nmb cable from the feed box not 2.

@jwplatt9233 8 месяцев назад

The buried splice in the old box is a Code violation.

@petersabatini7817 2 года назад

Nice clean job! But It’s a code violation to run sheathed wire through conduit

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 2 года назад

Thanks Peter

@haunthunterify 2 года назад

So what are you supposed to use? It will be beneficial if you say what to do instead of just NOT what to do.

@briantinsley7864 2 года назад

It’s up to local jurisdiction, but NEC allows EMT to be used to protect romex. I’ve heard fire hazard, but run some 12-2 through an insulated south facing wall and fire up a toaster oven or hair dryer. Which romex gets hotter. Where’s the fire inside the EMT? How about using stranded THHN ? Are all your connections solid, with no strands sticking out causing a fire hazard ? I like the spirit of the code, but it’s not bulletproof, and his guy makes tight connections, and isn’t hiding any work. Even the box on the box can easily be opened for troubleshooting. Yes it could fail inspection on a bad day, but I’ve seen licensed electricians run multi-wire branch circuits using 12-3, on two fuses, 15 and 20 amp, branches extended with 14 ga, and the breakers not tied together. It’s not code, but passed inspection. Wire as safely as you can, but code and inspections didn’t guarantee my safety. DOnt get me started on the multi-wire branch to DW and disposal, that got a nail through the excess slack. This was all professionally done. This guys work is better than what I saw

@surferdude642 3 года назад

I'm not an electrician, but I think you did a very professional looking job. I did something similar in my garage, but I used THHN wires in the emt, not Romex. The use of 15 amp duplex receptacles on a 20 amp circuit with 12 gauge wire is commonly done and is code compliant, as long as it is a duplex receptacle and not a single. You cannot use a 20 amp receptacle on a 15 amp circuit. The reason why I mentioned this is that it sounded like you thought that it was not correct.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment Ted, I appreciate it! I am aware of the 20 amp receptacle on a 15 amp circuit. I mentioned it in the video because I get a lot of comments with people telling me it's not ok. I considered using THHN but the Romex was quite a bit cheaper. That's why I decided to use it instead of the THHN.

@ronbelnap8370 2 года назад

Many locations do not permit Romex in a conduit. Heat dissipation issues.

@JohnThomas-lq5qp Год назад

You can use a 15 amp single receptacle on a 20 amp breaker and only #14 copper wire IF it's for motor load that might trip a 15 amp breaker due to high inrush ( a second or two of locked rotor Amps ). Good example would be an air compressor or window air conditioner.

@bsmith8564 2 года назад

They make an extension 4x4 box that meets code, your hack does not. Red wire nuts would have cut your splices in have.

@MrMtm13 2 года назад

All the extension boxes I looked for, don’t have a screw hole to ground the box/extender. All metal boxes should be grounded, right? Could you link the code compliant box if possible please? Thanks

@misterl2875 3 года назад

Two GFI’s on one circuit will not provide protection. ONLY the first outlet in the circuit should be GFI and all downstream outlets will be protected. And only a total of up to six outlets per circuit.

@wizard3z868 3 года назад

ya not to mention 2 gfci on one circuit fight with each other and one or both trip or even cause breaker to trip too. fun times when home owners dont realize what a gfci breaker is and just add gfci outlet next to a sink or outside 😱🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@thomasmarable6818 3 года назад

That depends on how they are wired. Gfci dont fight each other. You can put all gfci in if you want.

@dajur1 3 года назад

@@thomasmarable6818 Sure, you can, but it's a terrible idea and completely unnecessary. GFCI's don't "fight" with each other, but when one trips, sometimes they all trip and if there are a bunch of them, you have to reset them in order. Even if only one trips, you may have to hunt it down to find the right one.

My garage has outlets... 15 amps that are on the same circuit as the outlet in the damn laundry room on the second floor. Same circuit used by the washing machine...what the hell were they thinking.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 года назад

The laundry room should be independent AND the washer and drier should be on separate linked breakers.
