Just sharing a little trick.... you could run the Romex through the wall and into the panel first... then slide the metal connecter onto the Romex, which will guide it in place in order for the connector to be fastened to the panel. you don't need to make the hole larger to fit your fingers into it....
Great video full of useful tips! If anyone is still wondering what exactly the GFCI does (a more technical explanation), it monitors the "in" and "out" current through the plug and if they don't match, it interrupts (breaks) the circuit. This happens when something (you, water, a short...) connects to the plug and "steals" electrons, hence the "ground fault" in the name. I.e. the current finds an alternative path to ground (through your body perhaps) other than the plug. In this case, there will be an imbalance between the amount of current that enters and exits the plug which the device detects and breaks the connection.
Excellent walk-thru of the job. Harrison, you are a great trainer. Thanks Honest Carpenter for hosting this video.
Great. Best electrical explanation. Every single question I would have had was answered as he went. Great camera work as well showing every step up close. Amazing. Applause Mr. Peacock.
I don’t think I’ve watched a 50 min video on TH-cam . I have now ! Great video 🙌🏼. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight 🙏🏼.
I found this to one of the most informative videos. There were no parts where you were suddenly coming back and saying now that's done and not showing what you did. Mr. Peacock is very professional in his instructions. Again well done.
Thank you, Charlie! 🙂
The only thing I was left wondering was the part where he mentioned that the power tester lets you know when wires are not installed properly.. would it work if the wires are backwards?? That's the only thing that was "missed" ... otherwise great video.
Just used this video to guide me and give me the confidence to do the job myself and save a couple hundred bucks. I have novice electrical skills but this was extremely helpful. Great job putting this video together and thanks for all the details, this electrician does a great job!!
Stripping the wire is better done with a wire stripper instead of a wire cutter. I am surprised that this pro electrician did not have a wire stripper !!!
This man did a great job in installing AND teaching us how to do this. Thank you very much.
I personally use automatic strippers. they are fast and better when it comes to stripping . If you're not a electrician or have never done this before you definitely will hit the copper with wire cutters.
Thanks a lot, great video. I am now studying electrician at a College after my 53 years of age, just for fun and to be CERTIFIED so I can do my own installations at home once I am PROFICIENT and CERTIFIED. Video like yours help us A LOT.
Cheers
As an electrician myself (qualified in Australia but live in the great state of Florida now), I know this MC is difficult to make look good (as observed of other electricians' lazy efforts). I'm about to use it in my workshop and I hold high aesthetic standards like Harrison. He has done an awesome job and shown me that it is certainly doable. Thank you for the video mate!
Thanks, Michael!
I m from venezuela and live in florida from 2018 and work as electrician, I love my job and sometimes hate the work
Australia is a mistery for me
Because of this video I wired up 3 bedrooms bathroom kitchen outlets sockets light switches name it. I even got main power from the breaker box on the basement. Thank you thanks a million ur 10 minutes video helped me dramatically truth be told I’m a mechanic for years and I never did this work at all. And because of you I succeeded thanks man
A long but very useful video. Thank you both for the review of how it’s done. Thanks too for covering important safety & NEC requirements. Very neat panel, so I’ll excuse the previous electrician not wanting to try to fix sloppy drywall work at bottom left corner of panel cover. Also glad to see that the original, NEC-compliant screws were still there to hold the panel cover on. Great job Harrison. Thanks to Honest Carpenter for putting this together.
Just first note, always wrap the ground wire in the direction the screw goes to tighten, he looped the wire on the screw in the opposite direction, that worked only because it had a long tail on it otherwise it would have spun the wire away from the screw and a bad connection. Never pull on wires like he did to remove outside cover, 17 yrs experience or not, copper does stretch and get weak. These are just my observations
I would have run EMT with an offset into the panel directly. That box is unnecessary and not professional. Not to mention all the other things others have committed on.
British code says wrap the ground backwards. lol
@@jjyemg2397 seriously?
Indeed that’s always my way and what I think is the right way, wrapping the wire clockwise around the screw. But this applies only when there is one free end of the copper wire which is not the case here so it’s all good.
@@maxwang2537 NO. I was being facetious
Nice work guy. You did an awesome job explaining your work. The one thing I noticed you did not do is tighten the connector at the romex end to the panel knockout.
What I would have done is measure out and cut the approximate length of wire that is required for inside the panel and tighten the connector to the romex wire at the spot where the wire would enter the panel. Then push the wire with the connector attached to match up with the knockout from the panel. That way, the both ends of the romex wire would be properly secured to the can and panel knockout connectors.
Good video. However you used a 2 screw romex connector at the top off the panel, but u didn’t tighten the 2 screws because the drywall was in the way. Next time, thread the romex thru the connector, tighten the 2 screws, take off the lock ring, thread the romex down into the panel, thread the lock ring back up and tighten. Now it’s to code and the romex isn’t going anywhere if yanked.
The guy in the video may indeed be licensed but he does lack some experience. M G's point should be well noted. Also he should have started with a wall-board saw and not a chisel for crying out loud. I'm not going to watch the rest.
@@shawnhayden6674 Yea calling drywall anchors "connectors" gives away a lack of experience
Best instructional DIY I EVER saw. Thorough and just enough info. Perfect.
Not sure how I stumbled upon this video, or why I watched it (because I already know how to do this), but I think you did a fantastic job and explained really well for the DIY’er.
Im electrician almost 10 years in NYc n i can say that you explained very good, I have only two small objections 1. You didn’t screwed up that romex with connector in the panel ( if u don’t wanna break the wall u could just use arlington romex connector )
2. Put el tape on gfi for extra protection ( im not saying this because of you we both got enough experience those are basic thing but for the beginners yes )
I'm always curious about how much cable to leave inside the box. Glad this was covered in the video.
Most likely the best video I've seen on this. To the point, very clear to see and understand, and professionally done.
Great video. I'm glad you didn't over-edit it and cut out any of the minor details because we all generally know how to do this, it's the little tips and tricks along the way that really help.

Thanks.
Thank you! Is there a list of the name of the materials used?
Ive watch many videos of "running electricity to a garage. This video is by far the most inclusive and informed video. Thank you.
Harrison, here, really explained process each step of the way very consisely for any DIYer.
You should wrap the ground in a clockwise manner around the ground screw in that box. That way it tightens rather than opening up.
I was going to comment the same thing.
The wire does not terminate at that screw. Look again.
@@ethelryan257 It does not matter if it terminates or not. The wire must be around the screw clockwise, because the screw tightens clockwise.
I saw him do it counterclockwise with his finger first, so I predicted correctly that he would do it wrong. The wire must be around the screw clockwise, because the screw tightens clockwise. I am an electrician in Canada. Counterclockwise wrapping of wire around a screw or terminal is a very basic error, and demonstrates sloppy workmanship. I would never hire this company.
This is the most basic principle of wire attachment to a terminal screw. If you don't know this one, you shouldn't be doing electrical.
I would have wrapped ground wire in box clockwise around the screw so when tightening the screw clockwise it tends to pull the wire tighter not loosen the curved wire.
I have to put a couple of 20 Amp circuits in my garage. This is exactly what I have to do, down to the same panel box and breakers. Thanks. Though I knew how to do 90% of it, I picked up a couple of nuggets. I'm not intimidated by the box because you can shut off all power while working in there. If you make a wrong connection, your breaker will trip. Then you just have to shut it off and try again. The existing wires will show you where to put the new wires. The pain in the butt part of a lot of electrical work is running wires behind the sheetrock. That may necessitate making a lot of holes, drilling through studs, fishing wires, and then repairing and painting the sheetrock. Done tons and tons of that in both my old and new houses. I learned by doing and reading some books. Now you just have to watch videos like this. Two Thumbs Up!
I've got a security light and garage door opener that have been running off extension cords for years. We have MC and a junction box with outlet for the washer and dryer where they are plugged in. So I just need to run MC where the extension cords are. And mount the proper receptacle boxes. We don't have GFCI in the garage. Everywhere else, but not in the garage. I've got some work to do, hehe. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for this. The perfect balance of DIY and pro tips. Kudos!
This channel is always so good! I appreciate this Electrition give me a detailed explanations. Very well done thank you very much! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
One of the best videos I've seen that gave the best detail steps and explanation of what's being done, thanks.
You said early on that you do not trust push in connections, yet you used the less reliable push in connections in the receptacle…
Outside that, I enjoyed the rest of the video. Thanks for shooting and sharing it.
I am 1.5ish hours away from Cary in Greenville NC. Subbed for local support! Harrison is a great teacher. Running a new outlet tomorrow based on this video.
I went to ecu! Small world
@@JaridMitchell Nice! Wilmington native but living in G Vegas.
I do a lot of DIY but never electrical stuff. I call my electric guy lol. But this video is so thorough, I feel less intimidated about adding outlets to my breaker box on my own. I installed my own Ring doorbell and it was so easy! Great video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The Electrician is my kind of a guy. Excellent 👍👍
This helped me figure out how the metal box refit gets the front faceplate secured to it. It's nothing like interior plugs that are in the wall. Excellent!
Pro tip: If you use flexible conduit from the panel to the Jbox, you will have easy access for future circuitry.
Great idea
So.. the whole point of the junction box sitting above the panel was just to allow for a passthrough of the electrical wire thru the drywall? It didn't offer any other specific function?
I like your use of ZIP,ITS nice professional looking job
This was very informative for my project. I loved the fact you gave specific info and tips that my brain would have never questioned. Thanks!
Personally i like to work backwards from outlet and final termination to j box last
Me 2. Then you don't have the panel open or wires dangling in the panel while you route the cable or wire up the receptacle.
I admit that while I now feel confident in doing this myself, I will still bring in my local electrician so that I know it's done right. 🙂 Thank you for your content!
When it comes to electrical, you can't have too much respect.
Even something simple like a screw not tight enough could result in a fire
This was just the video i was looking for, only took a week worth of searching.
Outstanding video with full detailed step-by-step instructions. Learned a lot. Now I see I have a few things I should go back to update the DIY projects I did over 10-15 years ago 😄. Thanks.
This content was so awesome! I was able the follow this video (with the supervision of an electrician) and installed two wall outlets in my garage, and connect it to the GFCI outlet in the ceiling for the garage door. Later I installed 4, 6" recessed LED lights (on a different circuit) and the garage is awesome now!
Let’s go down to the comment section and see what the experts have to say.
Well done video.
Code failures:
-Ground wire wrapped around screw in wrong direction (appears that he has done this wrong for 17 years, as he did it wrong in both 4x4 boxes)
-Stripping of AC90 (MC or BX) armoured cable, it is a failure to bend the AC90 to strip it, bending it this manner can damage the conductor insulation.
-Stripping the individual conductors with side cutters.
-New Receptacle is rated for 15amps not 20 amps.
-And the most sever code failure is working on a live Panel, let alone without proper PPE.
That being Category 1 Arc Flash Protection, consisting of
-Long Sleeve Shirt (or Jacket) and Pants or AR Coverall with minimum arc rating of 4 cal/cm2
-Face Shield (with “wrap around” guarding…i.e balaclava) or Arc Flash Suit Hood
-Heavy-Duty Leather Gloves over a pair of class 00 electrical insulated gloves
-Hard Hat, Eye Protection (Glasses, Goggles), Hearing Protection and proper safety boots.
His license could be suspended and at the very least he could be severely fined.
I hope know one is injured following this video as a guide even though the makers take no responsibility for others, you are responsible for the work you do, and that is a failure.

@@derekparent752 well said. Agreed.
@@derekparent752 I fully intended to use this as a guide until reading your comment. The fact that I require guidance makes me unqualified to amend the video with your notes and feel confident that I've got a complete set of instructions so... you've convinced me to hire an electrician.
@@derekparent752 A duplex receptacle is two receptacles. The requirement for 20A receptacles applies for a single receptacle on a 20A circuit, meaning a simplex. He installed a duplex receptacle which counts as two and can be 15A-rated. Additionally, all 15A receptacles are rated for 20A pass-through.
I was surprised to see a professional using diagonal cutters to strip MC and then mess around with lock nuts instead of stripping it in 2 seconds with a rotosplit and popping it into a snap-in connector. And there's absolutely no reason not to kill power for a couple minutes to make the final connection in a residence.
Thank you, awesome tutorial on adding an outlet. I'm doing the same thing in my garage. Adding an outlet and elimination of wiring to motion light outside. That is where I'll pick up the hotwire from the light switch to the outlet.
Very detailed and comprehensive. Thank you
always screw into breaker before installing into panel to avoid slipping while tightening breaker screws and landing yourself or tools into hot energized panel
Excellent jump-start lesson. Will be using this lesson along with my local codes and inspector advice. Appreciate the detail!
How to make a wind mill for my lawn
I'm a first year apprentice and I've learned alot in this video. Thank you. I've done a few of these installations in a condominium. I have the same commercial electric 12-1 🙏
This is exactly how EVERY instructional videos should be. Thank you mate! from your friends from America.
never tightened romex connector on panel. I would have put the romex connector on the wire and fished it down to the panel
Yep
Great video. Thanks for the detailed install!
I would have done the same so the wire into the panel is tight in the connector.
What about using the dogs( pump pliers) backwards.
Can’t thank you enough, this video is perfect. Finished my new outlet install without a hitch. Thank you!!!!!
>i
GREAT frickin’ video. So we’ll done. Thank you, gents!
Very neat job/well done with minimal inexpensive tools. Thanks
That covered a lot of information in a short period of time. Thanks for doing that even if most of us will never add a breaker simply because we are not qualified to do so BUT in an emergency we at least know how to respond and know what we are looking at when we get to the panel.
Thanks for this video, as a DIY'er, all the videos I've seen have been panels where there 4 sides are accessible, and here in Cary, my house is done similar to yours with drywall surrounding the panel. Now I feel armed with enough information to tackle this properly.
Thanks Paul! I’m glad the video was helpful 🙂 If you tackle any work yourself though, PLEASE take all precautions and seek professional guidance. That’s cool you live in Cary-I’ve done more work out there than I can remember. Give Harrison a call, team serves your area!
Thanks for all the great info and the awesome video just installed my first dedicated 20 amp outlet in my garage for my Lincoln welder and my smoker. It was super simple after watching you video and went really smoothly had all the parts and supplies I needed to do the job interruption free
Thanks. This is the most cogent instruction on installing a new circuit that I've seen. Excellent communication.
Great video. Great instruction. One big thing I would do is to use a screwdriver and hand tighten instead of a power screwdriver to tighten things from the dry wall anchors to the box. Also, he didn’t stress that the utility service lines will always be live. The way he had has hands close to them make it seem like they aren’t
He did stress that the bus bar would be live.
This video was exactly what I was looking for! I am an EE so I understand the concepts but the application and the code were beyond me. I love the way you did this. It is a garage, it doesn't have to be nicer than this. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! Does code ever allow a non GFCI outlet in the garage?
Older codes didn't cover this, my condo built in the early 70s didn't have GFCIs..
Your answer is "it depends". It depends where you live.
North Dakota has a state code supplement that allows for the garage door opening, a single recepticle, to not require gfci protection. I believe this is to prevent their people from having to climb on their cars or trucks to reset that gfci.
Your area may or may not do the same. Call the building inspectors to be safe.
He was as much a joy to watch (and learn) as YOU! very good instructors! My thanx! Blessings to both of you and yours!
No license required here in PA, thankfully! :-) The first time I dealt with a lot of that metal-clad cable was somewhere around four and a half decades ago, and this was in NYC, where a license most definitely is required. I did all the wiring except to hook it into the panel, then we did get a licensed guy to come in and check out my work and do that final connection. In those days the metal cladding was steel, and you could break a pair of cutters trying to cut that stuff the way it's shown here....The last time I dealt with that stuff was when I installed a dedicated outlet for a veterinary clinic, to support a server rack that was going to be installed. For that job I did buy the special tool to cut that metal cladding, from Home Depot. It broke, just before the last time I had to cut that stuff but I managed to make it work and then when the job was done I returned it. The real pucker factor there came with the point of getting into the wiring panel. This place had *FIVE* 300A panels, and going through a distribution box and into the panel was a lot of fun. I got it done, though, and excpect that they're satisfied with the work, which is always nice. Given the choice, I'd rather just stick with romex. :-)
Congrats its the best installation tutorial Ive seen...thnks...
This guy is good, I love how easy this is to understand, great video.
Gearing up to do something similar in my garage. Very informative primer. Thanks!
This is a very good refresher/new info for a DIY electrician. Lucky I didn't kill myself 40 years ago getting power from a panel in a closet ..to run a computer in said closet.
Damn i watched the whole thing. This was super informative, I need another receptacle in my garage as well and this made everything very clear!
If you have no receptacle in your garage then follow this video. If you already have at least one receptacle, you can start from one of them to avoid touching the breaker panel. That is what I did in my garage as the closest receptacle is too far from where I really need.
Check codes, not allow the metallic cable. Thanks.....Jim
It's important for non professionals to understand that working in a live panel is extremely dangerous but even more dangerous without arc flash protection for your face eyes hands and upper body at minimum.
Please make sure you do not attempt this with out looking at arc flash accidents and learning the proper safety protections that you must use. It's life saving for anyone regardless of experience.
Thank you for the video. I recently added a circuit to my panel for my garage and your video was pretty much exactly how I did it. So I’m thinking I did it right. Inspector came out and inspected it and said good job.🤙
An electrician who cleans up after himself. What a novel concept. Great video! A good job is often in the details and you covered them.
Thanks Dennis! 😁
Having the neutrals bonded to ground in the panel has nothing to do with how close the meter is. You bond the neutral at the first service disconnecting means..ie the first ocpd.
Good to see you’re wearing a non connective ring. What do you have against wire strippers?
I will call an electrician, no question. Great video, and at least I know what to expect.
Nice blend of diy and professional skills making the video easy to follow and learn. There were some faux paux but nothing critical, just individual preferences. Keeping on pumping out the videos, the rough edges will be smooth out.
Apart from everything else... I think they they have a tool called wire strippers. I have some and they are amazing, haven't used anything else since I got them. ;D
Man, Rimmers skills have definitely improved from his days on Red Dwarf!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Just wanted to add neutral and grounds should only be grounded at the main panel, so this one is a sub.
Great video and great and clean work I love it
Suppose you stripped the metal sheath cable for four feet as it appears there was plenty of length to spare. I would have installed the clamp as you did, but I would them add the ground to the box and feed the extra three feet of wire directly to the panel, with clamp. I dont think that going straight through is against code.
Why would I do that? I eliminate a point of failure, the junction that you made in the box. The way I woud do it, the wire is going straight through. It is not to save three marettes.
By the way, the GFI is called a GFCI. Our Canadian GFCIs for 20 amperes come with a T socket. And by the way, your work is very neat and well done. We also do not use philips screwdrivers, but Robertson (square head either green or red size) and the flat for the front.
The recepticle and box screws are designed for Roberson screwdrivers.
I bought a #1 Robertson screwdriver when I was in Winnipeg and I use it on the screws of all the receptacles I install. It does a better job than slotted or Philips screwdrivers as it won't slip out of the screw head like the others.
Speaking the Queens proper English!
Great video
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very informative. Great teaching.
i watched the whole video. My greatest accomplishment.
How did you tighten the screws down on the cable inside the wall? You cant use setscrew type connectors on aluminum jacketed MC cable.
Waaaaahh
@@FightingSportsMedia Yeah, because electrical safety is a total joke. Who cares if a house burns down with the family inside? Right?
Have you guys ever heard of a tool called wire strippers? They work pretty good for stripping insulation off wires without the need to spin your side cutters around the wire.
Wow that sounds awesome, is that a new invention? Where can I get that fancy space tools you talk of?
Those are pretty much a DIYer's tool.
Thanks so much 🙏 enjoy your lesson
Sweet. I’m gonna follow the same steps this guy did to add a plug in my garage.
romex connector is stone age. a plastic clamping grommet, like the ones used in the og panel install, is the norm now a days. plus you wouldn't have to worry about blowing out the drywall so the hole will be big enough for the clamping part. and you don't have to manually tighten the clamp.
like he DIDN'T do on top of the panel. Ground wire wrapped the wrong way. Step on MC on a cement floor....really dumb. Sharpie marker on sheetrock....beginner no no.....Terrible short lose splices. PVC should never be used exposed indoors without 1/2 fire rated cover....it toxic when burning. 1/2 way through, can't watch any more. My biggest question though....does this guy like eating moonpies while watch The Green Mile??
This project fits one of the scenarios where I really like to use Wago connectors now. They are great when working on something where future modification is likely. That junction box above the panel is just an invitation to add more outlets to that circuit.
I hate to mess with electricity. This video gave me a +30% confidence, I am currently at about 50% to attempt depending on cost at this moment. The good news is the video is exactly what I need: 20amp & MC setup. At the very least, I know what to ask for, and that my panel is a Square D setup. Thank you very much for this video!
Excellent video, and the safety cautions were very good.
National electrical code is that the sheathing protrudes a full 1/4" or more into the box.
I'm seeing red plastic protectors of some kind. Are these necessary? They didn't said a word about them at the hardware store.
@@ricoassal Those are likely anti-short bushings which are to be slid around the wires at the point where the MC Cable is cut. This helps ensure that the, now sharp, metal jacket doesn't nick the insulation on the wires. I'm not certain they're required, but their usage certainly seem like a very good idea.
@@ricoassal Per the NEMA, NO. They are not required. However, the use of proper termination fittings IS required.
www.nema.org/docs/default-source/technical-document-library/use-of-anti-short-bushings-for-terminating-type-mc-cable.pdf
You’re supposed to wrap the ground wire around the ground screw clockwise because that’s the direction it turns when you tighten it.
Great video, it was like watching a Guy Richie movie... but actually an electrical instructional video!
Thankyou. I so hate to run extensions across my garage floor for the stationary equipment on that side. Now I'm going to install a receptacle from the box which is on that side of the garage. Which I should have done years ago.
Does Harrison have a TH-cam Channel? Really enjoyed the way he teaches
He’s great on camera, BabyNes! Very knowledgeable. He doesn’t have one yet, but you never know...🙂
@@TheHonestCarpenter qq
I didn’t believe this guy was a professional until he started letting his clippings fall to the floor. If they’re still there when he leaves we’ll know he was a pro.
36:06 before screwing plate to gfci always wrap electrical tape around gfci to cover all screws when using metal boxes that is code requirement to avoid arcing from energized screws to metal sides of box interior and dont wrap over face plate screws (go under those )
Can you tell me the code section please
