    I accidentally came across this video over a year ago and the comments were so funny that I decided to revisit the video again here in October 2023. The comments just keep on coming! I know that this is dangerous with this man is doing and how he’s going about it, and I hope people will read the comments seriously but, really, this video is inadvertently and also purposely a great source of humor. Now, everyone stay safe in DIY jobs.

    1) In many places it’s against code to have an outlet in a clothes closet.
    2) Do not drill a hole in the back of a device box. You need to have proper strain relief.
    3) Don’t use push ins on the back of a receptacle. Use the screws. They’re way less prone to failure which can cause a fire.
    4) Don’t put 2 wires on one screw like he did with the ground wires. Pigtail them and land 1 wire.
    5) Strip more jacket off the wire. Leaving 3-4” in the box just takes up space.
    6) Shut the damn power off BEFORE you start.
    As a master electrician I don’t really have issues with DIY’ers if they do it right. This guy has zero business trying to show people how to do this. He’s very obviously not trained or qualified.

      @Mike Tee I’m in Canada. Any device box we use has to have a bonding means. So we can’t use the blue Carlon boxes. We can use grey Nu-Tec boxes that have a bonding strap in them. They have a built in strain relief that holds the Romex in place.

    This is a great video for me… I have a project where I want to make a floating PC desk setup with “floating” desk and monitors and I need to do this same thing to the outlet under my desk so I don’t need to show an extension cord going from the outlet under my floating desk to the bottom of the desk itself. So I will be doing this to put an outlet right under my floating desk attached to the 2x4 that mounts my “floating” desk to the wall. I will also be running the cords from the PC through the wall to the monitors so it has little to no cables exposed. Couldn’t do it without this video. Thanks 🙏

    A few comments:
    1) As others have noted, a warning to turn off the power before you work is not wasted.
    2) Those push-ins are one of the most common points of failure on outlet installation. It's not against code to use them, but best practice is to bend the wire into a J and hook it on the screw on the side of the outlet (with the J terminating in the direction the screw tightens.
    3) It's also best practice to join all the wires of each type together using a wire nut and fold them into the rear of the box. Then connect only one set of wires to the outlet.
    4) Finally, and this may be a code violation depending on your locale, you shouldn't just drill a hole in the back of the box. You should replace the box and pass both sets of wires through those strain-relief panels at the back.

    • @Ventura727

      So the wires from the new outlet should have been tapped into the wires from the existing one by cutting them and joining them with wire nuts right before the connection to existing outlet? As opposed to what he did, attaching the new wires to the other side of the existing outlet?

      Also the amount of outlets already available (usually) is based off what size breaker it's landed on (15 to 30amps usually) . Keep adding outlets on the same run/leg and you'll be popping breakers in no time when you try using something. Your wife will turn her curling iron on and pop! She's left in the dark, little Timmy's fortnite match gets cut off, and now your getting yelled at and have to get up to fix it because you played electrician.

He had to pull them all to find the ones touching. Learned my lesson that time. Guess he learned to watch me more closely too :)

    Be careful of receptacles in closets. We were working in a house when the owner said she had an outlet in the living room that quit working a long time ago. We removed it and it was tightly connected but was dead. From the location of the wire in the box, it looked like it might be jumped from a box on the other side of the wall. When I looked there was a closet that had been added to the room years before that enclosed the existing outlet. The closet was full of cardboard file boxes stacked against the wall. When I took them out, one of them had turned brown from the heat from the receptacle. When I removed it, it had a loose hot wire that had been arcing for a long enough time that it destroyed the whole side of the receptacle. The hot wire was pitted from the arcing and it was just luck that file box didn't catch fire. NEVER cover a receptacle with stuff that is seldom moved. If something goes bad you may never see it until its too late.

      I NEVER stab the wires into the back of an outlet. I'm a union electrician that's been in the trade for over 40 years. I always use the side screws. It's also not legal to land two grounds under the ground screw, he should have either used a green wire nut or a crimp after twisting the two grounds together and then cut one short. Too many other things to list that I would have done differently. And, I had to laugh..."anywhere" is ridiculous. To add an outlet that isn't in the same stud bay is much more difficult than he is showing.

      Getting shocked from a 20A circuit or a 15A circuit makes no difference. The input voltage (120V in your case) and your physical resistance is all that matters for shock value. If you are getting a "ball of lightning" ( I doubt this is the case, I bet you just got scared) the breaker did not trip fast enough on the dead short. Don't exaggerate and spread misinformation.

      1) In many places it’s against code to have an outlet in a clothes closet.
      2) Do not drill a hole in the back of a device box. You need to have proper strain relief.
      3) Don’t use push ins on the back of a receptacle. Use the screws. They’re way less prone to failure which can cause a fire.
      4) Don’t put 2 wires on one screw like he did with the ground wires. Pigtail then and land 1 wire.
      5) Strip more jacket off the wire. Leaving 3-4” in the box just takes up space.
      6) Shut the damn power off BEFORE you start.
      I’m a master electrician and don’t really have issues with DIY’ers if they do it right. This guy has zero business trying to show people how to do this. He’s very obviously not trained or qualified.

    As a Red Seal Electrician I would first ensure that the circuit you're piggybacking on is not in full use. On a 15 amp breaker you can have no more than 12 plugs or lights or a combination of both. Failure to do this could result in nuisance tripping of the breaker or fuse. In order to test for this you would need a circuit tester. It's used at the distribution panel at the breaker or fuse in question. Folks you should always call a certified electrician for this type of work. Doing it yourself could lead to a fire.

It will work, but if a fire were to happen, the fire inspector sees this, good luck on your insurance claim. It is not up to code. The theory is good but being safe n done correctly is the way to do it. From a retired electrician of 40 years. Please don't take offense, just have seen this so many times.

    Lots of this was not correct, do not drill a hole in existing outlet box. Must use knock out or tabs in that box. Wire must secured coming into the box. All grounds must be mechanically connected either by wire nuts or terminals and only allow one wire per terminal. Wires should not be inserted to the back of the outlet as a best practice, they should be wrapped around screw terminals. This is to avoid failure of connection in the future.

    Liked video and step-x-steps. Are the studs in the wall metal studs? That would help me to know how easy the stud finder really is to use.
    Also, your cut for the new box was a little sloppy; maybe be more careful for your students? Thanks for your hard work in making this video for us!!

    • @DeaninItYourself
      @DeaninItYourself  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The studs are metal but it works the same with wood studs. The stud finder finds the screws that are in the studs. Sorry for the sloppy cut of the box trying to navigate the camera gear messed me up a little. As long as you got the point.
