In this video you'll see how I wired a new wooden shed. It’s not that difficult and I hope you’ll learn a thing or two about wiring a shed. NEVER use exposed NM Sheathed cable (Romex).

Ron, even though I do what you do, I still watch your videos beginning to end, and I enjoy every minute. I always pick up a thing or two that I never knew before. Just like you, I work mostly alone, and the only way I learn new stuff is by watching someone like you who loves their trade and is kind enough to share their knowledge, not to mention put the extra time into editing the videos for us. Thank you, bud, I really appreciate all of your work.

@electricalron Год назад

I appreciate all of your compliments. I really do. Hearing feedback from other electricians telling me the they are learning from me is really flattering. There were a lot of people who taught me along the way too, and one day you'll be teaching the next generation as well.

Im kind of surprised they didn’t want a light, but the customer is always right 😊

On another You tube video I saw a tip about putting a small block behind the box to brace it when people insert plugs into the receptacle. Seems like a good idea.

@joelfox8754 Год назад

hi Ron; love your videos; since i am a "joe homeowner" i like the simple jobs like this project that are more DIY than some of the more complex videos; also would also like if you could explain more detail on the wiring that you do with the boxes and receptacles etc.;

@jrpritchard1622 Год назад

thanks for the tip on using longer screws attaching the outlet to the cover will do that on my next install

I haven't been back here since last summer when I made the video so I don't know whats going on there since then.

@billhandymanbill2775 2 года назад

Thanks for a great video! As a suggestion, I probably would have hammered the two metal tabs on the metal box to get it a bit more stability; I think I would have pigtailed a ground to the metal box (belt & suspenders), and I would have told the homeowner that the refrigerator in the shed is on a GFCI circuit and that the GFCI could possibly trip causing no electricity to the refrigerator resulting in spoiled food if it trips.

@electricalron 2 года назад

Bonding the box is a requirement of the NEC and it was done. With #10 pinhead screws that box isn't going anywhere. Also, there is no way to make that refrigerator receptacle NON-GFCI protected because the entire circuit is GFCI protected because of the wiring method used here - and was there before I got to do this work. Anytime you use UF wire (abbreviated for UNDERGROUND FEEDER), it must be GFCI protected. Hope this helps.

Great video. I enjoy learning from your channel. what’s the label make that you are using. I’m interesting in getting a good label maker.

@electricalron 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words. It’s a Brother P Touch PTE550W. Best label maker I’ve ever owned. Buy it once and it lasts.

@throttlebottle5906 Год назад

surprised you don't have a mc/bx rotary cable cutter, I really hated running any because cutting was a pain, especially the heavy steel types. using a cutter you can whistle them out at high speeds and no worries about kinking or nicking the conductors, which I have seen others do. folding until it pops open and using diagonals was the same we were taught too, but I don't think rotary cutters existed then, no AFCI's then and minimal GFCi's used to get the job done.

@electricalron Год назад

I have the cutters Greenlee. I must’ve not been able to find them or something.

@vince6829 Год назад

I am learning a lot from watching your videos. I do have one question. Is the UF cable buried “as is” or is it encased in PVC conduit? If it’s not, do you need a special bushing or duct seal where the UF cable leaves the PVC conduit. I’m just curious. I hope my question makes sense. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.

@electricalron Год назад

UF cable stands for underground feeder. You should use PVC wherever the cable is subject physical damage.

@philip8189 6 месяцев назад

what type of wallpaper is it ?

@aerofart Год назад

Hey Ron, nice work. Did you direct-bury that branch line or pipe it in? Also, here’s a little trick I stumbled onto that works a treat for getting long screws threaded down and ready for torquing that works only with a removable shaft screwdriver. Simply remove the shaft from the handle and twirl the shaft between your thumb and index finger and you’ll get some serious turns on that screw in no time and be ready with the handle for final torquing as-needed. It works just as fast (and maybe faster in some situations) than using a powered driver and weighs a lot less too. As much as I like power tools like you, I really find this trick to be very useful. I’m also wondering if you’ve ever tried the DeWalt gyroscopic and what do you think? I know you’re a Milwaukee guy and the M12 Surge seems like a good step up from a motorized screwdriver like the DeWalt, but I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.

@electricalron Год назад

I highly endorse the M12 Surge. I use it for practically everything. The underground feeder (UF cable) was there from the previous shed that was there. I had nothing to do with the installation of it other than reconnecting it to the new wiring.

@richardr8465 Год назад

Could I run conduit up to ceiling with plastic bushing and push romex down to outlets and meet code compliance

@electricalron Год назад

Sure, but use a female adaptor with a romex connector to secure the cable to the conduit.

@tray8411 Год назад

If you wanted to install a light overhead,,could you use romex?

@electricalron Год назад

You could but I'd stick with using MC cable since that's whats there now.

@bigdaddy4975 Год назад

Is there any reason you don’t pigtail the hots and neutral wires? If that outlet goes bad the one downstream won’t work. I’m just asking

@electricalron Год назад

Because its not necessary.

@andrewdimauro7352 2 года назад

Can you do a video of a work van tour ?

@electricalron 2 года назад

@billmonroe8826 Год назад

Question: Why wasn't romax used instead of mc cable? Mc a requirement? Just curious.

@electricalron Год назад

To protect against physical damage.

@dojo1249 Год назад

I just want to run electric to heat, cool light my 8x12 dog shed from the telephone/electric pole a few feet away( the reason I put it there) no trenching (wouldn't make sense to do that) from the house some 300 feet nor use my box in my house. which would cost me $5,000. looking to move from Nj in 6 years and shed is going with me.

@electricalron 6 месяцев назад

At the store

@ronvitale1944 Год назад

Hi Ron could you use Romex in this application.

@michael931 9 месяцев назад

Not allowed if "subject to damage". It is a judgment call.

@johnnymalicoat754 Год назад

Is the use of the mc cable a code requirement or the way you do it?

@electricalron Год назад

The MC cable costs more and adds time to your labor but the code if very specific about "subject to physical damage" and here in an open shed where shovels, rakes, etc are stored is clearly a place where NM cable could easily be pierced.

@TomCee53 11 месяцев назад

Nm cable is hardly ever allowed to be exposed except in basement ceilings. He could probably have gotten away with a conduit sleeve in the walls, or putting a board to cover romex.

@jefffielder2429 10 месяцев назад

Should that have been a gfic recp, starting your run with and if not why didn't you wire nut the wires instead of using your device as your splice

@michael931 9 месяцев назад

He said that circuit had a GFCI breaker.

@SparkyPreacher Год назад

Curious to know why you used MC in a residential shop…? Not being critical just curious. I enjoy your vids

@electricalron Год назад

Because “romex” would be subject to physical damage.

@rosewoodsteel6656 4 месяца назад

Yep, everyone in my area uses Romex in their sheds. I'm going with MC. I believe MC is code, is it not? Thanks for the video! @@electricalron

@slip0n0fall Год назад

330.12(1) MC not permitted where subject to physical damage either - would have had to have been armoured. Still, better than NM, no doubt.

@ClippyC Год назад

I thought you needed a disconnect when running power to a shed to cut power in an emergency?? Nice install.

@miket5506 10 месяцев назад

There is one-the GFCI breaker in the house panel.

@nurantulgar8293 Год назад

No light !! Whay ?

@Doug-gp2qw Год назад

If you are going to the dig a trench to feed an out building I would always run 12/3 or even 10/3 if its further than 50 feet from the panel. It's not much additional work or cost. You then have an extra circuit for tools or heaters.

I could that and I’m confident that the way it was done will last for decades too.

Use a jumper not putting two wires on the receptacle 🤷🏾‍♂️

Is that what you do at your company?

@meshakjunior1948 Год назад

@@electricalronpretty much I kinda like it too I’m not saying you did it wrong

@williamcolvin3609 Год назад

Makes the receptacle easier to install with the single wires attached - and if the receptacle fails for any reason the rest of the circuit fails.

@TomCee53 11 месяцев назад

Thats kind of a judgement call. Pigtails are becoming more popular for reliability, but there’s nothing wrong with using both screws. Receptacle failures in the jumper tabs are extremely rare.
