      @@atelierlacombe8446 I think that's why these electric videos are popular; because electricians don't want you to know that some of these things are not that complicated. Perhaps dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but $750 to install a plug? That's a little crazy.

    Great video. I believe you did everything correctly when tapping from an indoor receptacle. Only thing that's not necessary is adding that metal NM connector inside the indoor outlet box. The Romex cable should still be in its place without it since it's secured in the box you installed outside.
    Personally, I would use a junction box that is outdoor rated instead of this type of old work box. At least you put a WR receptacle and outlet cover, which is necessary and code for outdoors.

    • @KylersStudio
      @KylersStudio  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree with you. The metal connector isn't intended for this, but I had a bag of them and figured it wouldn't hurt. Are you thinking you would run a junction box and then rigid conduit to an outlet? Or put an outlet in a metal junction box? It would be interesting to see the different ways to do it and find out what looks the best and is the most functional/durable.

    Great video. The only issue I see, and I'm not a licensed electrician, is you used the incorrect receptacle. You turned off a 20amp breaker, you have 12/2 coming into your indoor receptacle, you ran 12/2 to your GFCI receptacle, but it appears to be a 15amp, not a 20amp. Also, it looks like your indoor is also a 15amp receptacle, which I would have upgraded to a 20a.
    The only reason I noticed that is I had the same issue in my home. While troubleshooting an electrical issue at home I found that all of my kitchen outlets (and a few other places) were 15amp, but they were on a 20amp circuit. I ended up replacing every outlet in my home and ensuring they were matched to the circuit. While that didn't solve the issue I was troubleshooting, it made me feel better about possibly causing a fire on an overloaded receptacle.

    • @KylersStudio
      @KylersStudio  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I just used old footage for the breaker from previous projects. I mostly just included it so people wouldn't forget that it's important to turn it off before you stick your fingers in there.

    • @TheMamamarieke
      @TheMamamarieke 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      It’s perfectly fine (and to code) to have 15 amp receptacles on a 20 amp circuit. All the wire on a 20 amp circuit must be 12 gauge so if you’re adding an extra outlet like this, you have to use 12 gauge wire even though it’s just bringing power from one 15 amp receptacle to another 15 amp receptacle.

    Starting at about 10:30 you mentioned switched receptacles. While they could be different circuits, they are usually on the same circuit, especially if used for lights or something with relatively low power. Only the hot side tab is removed. If it was a separate circuit, 2 scenarios are possible. One is completely separate circuit and both tabs would be removed and you'll have 2 neutral wires and 2 hot wires. The other possibility is a multi wire branch circuit with has a shared neutral (only the hot side tab is removed) and you'll typically have red and a black wire on the hot side. Separate circuits must originate from a double pole breaker or 2 single poles tied together.

      @@KylersStudio I think that switched receptacles on one circuit could still be commonly used in bedrooms and living rooms. Split receptacles with 2 circuits are probably somewhat obsolete in modern homes because of the requirement to have GFCI receptacles in kitchens and garages where split receptacles would previously exist. You can't split a GFCI receptacle, but you can use 2 of them to wire in a multi wire branch circuit. This method could still be used today.

Do I just use conduit from the outside? I would appreciate any help! I got a plug n play 110 hot tub but only has a 15 ft cord. I’m just trying to get an outside outlet box closer.

    • @KylersStudio
      @KylersStudio  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      First off, I’m not an electrician, so take this for what it’s worth. Usually a hard wired hot tub need its own circuit with a shutoff somewhat close but not too close to it (5-50 feet within sight but not within water, check your codes). If it’s 110, I suppose you could get away with it by running the wall box with rigid conduit to your shutoff box and liquid tight to the hot tub. Make sure the circuit isn’t overloaded though, otherwise the breaker will trip when your hot tub kicks on.

    • @KylersStudio
      @KylersStudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      If it’s just an outlet you need outside then you could connect through the wall to a box that runs rigid conduit to an outlet box. That should make it watertight if you use the right connections. You might not even have to bend the conduit if you use the right boxes. I think a liquid tight would be ok for this if there is a low chance of it being touched, but rigid is more durable.

      You’re definitely going to need an electrician. Hot tubs usually run on a 2 pole 50 amp breaker which you definitely don’t already have a spare one in your panel not being used. I think they have to have an outside shut off too like the HVAC system. In other words, they can’t just be tied into any existing circuit in your house or that breaker will stay tripped every time the hot tub turns on.

It is also on a wall that has a roof overhang, so the only way it gets wet is when the rain is blowing sideways or the snow piles up more than a foot.

    Not really the best plan, although it is done quite often. You have to consider the existing load and device count of the circuit you are tapping into. If that circuit has heavy draw appliances, or is already at the maximum of twelve devices, don't use it. Best practice is to install a dedicated breaker and circuit for outside outlets. I know, that requires an electrician for most of you, but that is the reality.

      That circuit had only a few outlets, only one of which was regularly utilized. The chance of overloading that circuit seems unlikely. Though I agree, it would be ideal to add a separate outlet for the outdoor wiring, that would require much more extensive work pulling wire through finished walls and did not seem justifiable for one occasional use outlet.

    But there’s quite a few code violations here. And that outside outlet isn’t going to stay in place for long as the stucco is going to crumble under load from the box and swing arm clamps as things are plugged in and unplugged.

    Personally having had several GFCI outlets fail outdoors I moved mine to the inside outlet and then sistered off of the GFCI outlet to the outdoor outlet. Both outlets are then GFCI protected. The indoor outlet stays dry and the outdoor outlet can handle the water without failure since it's all brass. I've never had to replace one but they are very inexpensive compared to replacing an outdoor GFCI outlet.

      I've heard this suggestion before. I've personally never had a problem with that, but if you're doing a sister install for a client, this might be the way to go. The location of my outlet is under an overhang, so I wasn't as thorough as I otherwise might have been.

      Good point; I've gone over that in previous videos. You can check the sheathing of the previous wiring to match. Google says: "15-amp circuits usually use 14-gauge wire, while 20-amp circuits generally use 12-gauge wire or 10-gauge wire." Just match what was installed before and don't put a smaller wire than the breaker/circuit requires.

    On stucco, ya gotta use some kinda sealant . The foam doesn't conform to all the surface irregularities. Without sealant, just hit it with water from a hose, and you'll see the leakage yourself.

    • @KylersStudio
      @KylersStudio  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Probably true, especially when the foam starts to deteriorate. I just didn't see the need because it's covered with a roof overhang. But you're right, I should probably go out and add some silicone or something to it.

    The connector was unnecessary in my opinion... Not a negative comment and what do I know anyway... Your voice belongs on the Cheech and Chong, Big Bamboo album. 😂

      Probably unnecessary, especially considering the short run and not being designed for that..just wanted to justify buying the bag for another project I suppose. I'm not sure if the voice comment is a good thing or bad thing...I'm not very familiar. And yes, the connector is designed for a metal box knockout clamp, but they have plastic clamps now that seem like they would work just as well. Thanks for the comment!

    I have to say, that was just painful watching you trying to cut your outside hole. I won't even mention the blue plastic box. Oh wait, I just did. One word of advice when adding a GFCI outlet from an inside receptacle, put the GFCI inside & the standard receptacle outside. That way you seldom have a dead outlet when you plug something into it. I know I'll catch flack on this, but I assume this is a 20A circuit since you're using #12 romex. Unless there is some #14 somewhere in the circuit or it's fed from a 15A breaker in the panel, I stick with 20A receptacles on a 20A circuit & 15A receptacles on a 15A circuit. Oh yeh, one more thing. Always tighten down your unused neutral & hot side screws. There's probably more, but I'm exhausted. Good night.

    • @KylersStudio
      @KylersStudio  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I gave a great example of how not to do it. Might have been worth just buying the receptacle box hole cutter for the recip; though not sure how well it would work once I got to the wire backing. There still isn't a great solution for cutting the chicken wire without absolutely destroying your blade. What is wrong with the blue box? Why would I put the GFCI outlet inside? I don't need it inside. Why tighten screws that are not being used? I think I can tell why you're exhausted...doing a bunch of extra unecessary work. What electrician certifications do you have?

      @@KylersStudio I was a licensed electrician and Journeyman Lineman, who retired nearly 10 years ago. I had been wiring residential and commercial for 31 years as a sideline business which complimented my fulltime job as a Journeyman Lineman.
      I started putting the GFCI receptacles inside the house or building about 30 years ago after receiving a lot of complaints about tripped GFI's that either I or someone else had installed outdoors. Just being outdoors in high humidity or rain was causing the trip. When ever it was possible, I started putting the GFCI inside and installing standard outlets outside and those issues all but stopped. I've been purposely installing EVERY outdoor outlet in new structures or remodels like this ever since & have almost no complaints of GFI trips. I don't use plastic boxes of any color EVER because they are cheap crap, thin, they flex too much, crack easily, and drywallers zip right through the edges with cutout tools when cutting around them. They are not the proper box to use for outdoor use. So what are your credentials?

I don't live in a humid environment, and even when it rains, it has yet to trip, but I can understand the logic behind it. My house is all but finished, so I don't see any reason anyone would be cutting out the wall, unless they intend to replace all the wiring anyway. So, do they make old construction metal boxes? How much more do they cost? And how do they secure into the wall?

For commercial wiring I used steel boxes with greenfield or EMT and pulled thhn wire or whatever was required for the particular job. A lot of what I did the last few years was wiring machine sheds, hog facilities, shops, grain bins, & grain handling systems which was mostly using either steel or PVC.
