- The biggest misconception is the 220-volt outlet. Is it 220 or 240 volts?. Well, nowadays it's 240 volts. Just as easy to install. Follow along with my step by step video and you'll be a pro in no time at all.

He explains and shows you much better, than any professor I have ever had. Seems to know exactly what to show up close and explain at that moment. Well done. Subbed to learn a lot more.
Thank you so so much.
Explain it well !! Thanks
I’m going to wire one of these for a mini split. Do I need to have my Wiring in metal conduit?
Now that’s what I was searching for. A simple explanation of how to install a 220 outlet. (Even though it’s 240😂)
Great teaching vid 🤛🏼
Awesome, so glad to hear that
Thank you for the great explanation... I was thinking that the two hot wires didn't matter which side they were on... But, I was having a hard time verifying it... New welder hookup... 😁
It doesn’t matter. L1 L2 both the same, both are hots
If you really wanted to you can make a 120V outlet wired with 240V. Yes switching power supplies like my computer's PSU has dual voltage and is slightly more efficient on 240V but don't plug anything else in it! (or just don't do that) Maybe if you have a crypto miner you'd run them 240 volts with the appropriate plug.
Hey man.
I just installed 2 240 volt outlets in my wood shop.
Watched lots of vids on the topic, and yours was the best.
I’m one of those guys ,that if I can see it done,I can do it.
The small details that you show instead of telling about is the key.👍✌️
I did a lot of wiring in Viet Nam in 1968, I wish I had you as my instructor back then, very easy to follow and understand. I am in the process of wiring my man cave (12 X 28) shed and using your videos as refreshers which will have 2 240 volt outlets. I want to thank you for being so generous sharing your knowledge and great explanation of the process. This is the MOST deserved sub on TH-cam, I would subscribe a 1000 times if I could, you are by far the best instructor on TH-cam. Many, Many Thanks
You’re the best. Thank you so much. You made my day.
Very nice demo. Thanks!! I did this stuff as a young apprentice around 60 years ago. The skills you display in your video show me that the basic concepts remain unchanged. I need to install a 240v line in my basement so this is quite timely and I'll have to thank my buddy who sent me the link. Thanks again for the refresher, and also for your new tips, like leaving loops of wire in case breakers need to be moved. Great idea.
Awesome, glad I could help out. Thank you, very much
Hey, brother. Thanks for the video. Very easy to follow and nice use of closeups to provide detailed demonstrations. Planning on installing a 240v outlet within the next week.
Finally a video without a bunch of unnecessary chatter. Clear and concise. Thanks a ton! 💪
Thank you very much, always my pleasure
Lots of other TH-camrs could learn a ton from you in terms how best to explain this sorta stuff. You did an excellent job. Very clear and right to the point. Thank you. I looked through many other videos. Yours was the only one that made me comfortable/confident.
Thank you so much. So nice to hear.
Very well done, thank you. Your demonstration and explanation is the best I've seen. Thank you again!
I greatly appreciate your video 😊! I got an outlet setup in my kitchen for a 230v AC unit. Thank you for keeping it simple with enough info to get it done.
-Mike
Yeah awesome deal. Always my pleasure
Excellent video, thank you for making it straight forward and simple!
Thank you thank you so much.
How do you not have more subscribers? Thanks for this, exactly what I was looking for.
Trust me, I don't know either.
I'm sorry too much box is law. Or. ..?
Don’t think I understand you, sorry.
@@Askmediy I believe they were meaning to say is having to many breakers in the panel box a code law.
best video ever, now i feel comfortable on running an outlet for my 240v compressor. tank you for sharing friend. God Bless you.!
Thanks buddy, Love hearing it.
Exactly what I needed. Installing outlets in a food trailer for a/c and steam table. Thank you!
Always buddy
Perfect. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I watched it and then did it...done.
Awesome deal. Always my pleasure
Best DIY wiring tutorial hands down
Thanks buddy
this video really helped me out I looked at others first and did not learn like i did from this one Thanks a million !
I do my best, thank you very much. It does mean a lot to me.
I loved your Demo,, short and to the point GREAT JOB!!
Thank you very much
I've learned more on this 1 video than I have the past. Month watching other youtube videos
Fantastic video! You have a great teaching style.
Tha o you so much. Always nice to hear
I liked you immediately, dude. Good video, and no music. 👍🏼
Hey thanks i am seeing this more clearly now.
I need this exact outlet addition for a possible future small welder.
I am retired machinist, which electrical hook ups were not my repertoire. But this example you did is good. Thanks.
Awesome tutorial! I just subscribed, looking forward to gaining more practical knowledge from you. Thanks for posting!
Always my pleasure, thank you so much
Great video that helped me a lot. I am wiring a window unit that requires 220 volts and was unsure what breaker I needed in order to successfully complete the task. Watching this video helped me understand. Thank you
Always my pleasure. Thank you
Love the way you explained many thanks sir.
It DOESNT matta!!! Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks...straight to the point...very helpful...
this was a great video. I was able to follow you like a student.
Awesome! Thank you!
You are awesome man I’m learning so much with you thank you
nice Video. Thank you for taking the time.
Just bought my own house and needed a 240 20amp outlet for my sauna. This video is the best instruction how to wire up what I needed.
Congrats and thank you very much,
Very well and simply explaining. Thank you Sir.
Thank you very much
Great video as usual. Bout to do this myself in my new garage. Have a great Navy day!
Thank you so much
Thank you. Great explanation. Exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
A very informative video. Thanks! DIY is very empowering
Thank you very much.
A great job explaining panel to outlet wiring!
Always great to hear. Thank you so much.
What a good teacher. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very very much
Great idea clamping the Romex to the connector first before attaching the connector the service panel. I've always put the Romex connector on the panel first and always was nervous when coming in from the top about the nut dropping. With the wire already going through, the nut will stay around the leads. I just subscribed due to your great way of explaining things.
Thanks buddy
This was terrific. Thank you!
My pleasure,
Incredibly great explanation! Thank you !!!!!
So happy to hear that. Thank you
Thank you for the video ,it help me a lot to understand how a 240v works and how to install...of course i will contract a professional but your video helps
Need your own TV show brother. You're great!!!
I'm just waiting on the invite. Thanks, buddy.
💥 I appreciate this video, you did a great job explaining! 👍
*THANKS*
Thank you so so much.
Great video. I know nothing about home electrical and I 💯 can install this now
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate that you show and explain the alternating buss bar.
My head always was confused how two connections on the same side magically doubled the voltage..... now I see double breaker is actually grabbing both legs.
Thank you
Awesome, it was my pleasure
Thanks, great information I was looking for.
thank you, glad I could help you out.
Great video, thank you!
Awesome information, thank you very much!
Thank you so so much.
great stuff thank you for taking the time to make this video
My pleasure!
So clear explanation. Hay thanks for your video
Thank you and thank you for watching
Just picked up a new air compressor with this exact type of connector. Gonna knock this job out. Good vid.
Good deal and thank you
He is psychic. I really do not know about panels. I will continue to watch, and see if I can learn and remember what he says.
Easy easy, you got this.
Great job. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I am fixing to install in my garage a 50 amp 220 3 prong plug with 6/2 nm-b wire using a metal box the same as you just did. This video is the only one I've seen after many searches showing this particular install and how the metal box is grounded.
Awesome, Glad I was able to help out.
BEST VIDEO ON 220 20AMP, perfect combination of professional info explained for a DIYer, if you can't grasp this video hire an electrician. Not being mean but better safe than sorry,
Well said and thank you so very much.
Thank you for the vid now I can see it better. So the panel will say which 240 circuit I need? That’s the only thing I don’t get it doesn’t say if I need a type d or square d... any way had me laughing at “lose all your hair” 😆
Excellent DIY video!
Thank you very much
You are a great teacher
Wow, thank you
Great video! Right to the point. Is it within code (or an okay idea) to go from the circuit breaker to a junction box in an attic and then split the circuit to be at two receptacles on either side of my garage? I want to run two tools on either side of the garage not at the same time, but don't want to take up the space in the panel with a dedicated circuit.
Also, say I did want to run the two tools at the same time - they are 6-20P plugs 12 amps - could I install a 30 amp breaker connected to two 20 amp receptacles?
Great video. Thank you so much for performance.
Always always my pleasure
great video absolutely superb common sense safety minded at all times nice install
Thank you so much
Thank you for the great tutorial. A couple questions: another video said to have the ground on top and the two hots on the bottom. They said it protects it if the cord gets hit or if water drips on it. I don’t quite understand that. You mentioned code and identifying the two hot wires…are there other NEC codes (for a simple install like your demonstration) that we should know about? I.e. fireproof grommet through the panel knockout or using a plastic vs a metal box for your switch. If you have the space on your panel can you install any size amp? Ex. 240v 50 amp double pole single throw switch without worrying about if there is enough power coming into the panel (dumb question but I, for one, don’t actually know how much juice I have coming into my house). Thank you very much for any clarification you can bring as I am about to install a 240v outlet next to my panel for my air compressor.
Thanks for the info great beginner!
Glad it was helpful!
That's Fantastic thank you so much for your showing this
You are so welcome
Hey, thank you for this beneficial video. I just didn’t get the ground cable thing I just need a little bit of explanation regarding what kind of cable should I use if there’s a name. Would it have two or three wires in it?
I need to run a 240 v cable from my broker which is outside of the house to the kitchen for my new electrical stove. Do I need to have a cable that has three wires to run it all from the breaker to the outlet?
Entertaining and informational
You sir have earned another subscriber
Thanks buddy
Awesome stuff man. Just subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
You saved me $$$$$. Thank you.
That’s the whole idea lol. Glad I could help you out
Exceptional video...thanks
So nice of you
Good info. I'm installing a Mini-split, and its rated 208-230v/60Hz/1Ph. I'm assuming this is the wiring setup I need for that. I've done 110v wiring including installing new wire and breakers, but as a DIY guy, I've never done something like this and am just looking for some helpful info. This seems to be the right thing I'm looking for!
I had to subscribe. Great teacher!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you very much !! You are the best!
Great explanation!!!
Thanks buddy
Thanks, for taking the time to do a simple breakdown of basic electrical. Please post more electrical Videos. 👌
Could you explain how to design circuits in the home? Like how many outlets on a given circuit and how you know when you have to many or have room to add more?
You are good teacher. thanks
Thank you! 😃
This good stuff ! thank you
Exactly the video I needed.
👍
Awesome, glad I could help you out ,
@@Askmediy
Many thanks!
Good video. I have a 3 car garage/ man cave fully insulated, ceilings too and even the garage doors. Garage is about 660 sq ft with 8ft celing hight. The lowest tempature during Christmas will be 37 degrees farenhight. My questions is if I install a 5000-7000w electric heater, I have to installed a 240v outlet too right or it can be just hardwired??
Eventually I will buy a minisplit system and be getting rid of the electric heater. Will I be able to use the 240v outlet previously installed for electric heater when I install mini split in future??
Also we will be getting an electric car down the road so I will need a 240v outlet to charge car so what will be the correct pathway for my projects, install a 240v right now for electric heater so I have heater in man cave before Christmas or maybe just use propane heater just for that day🙄 until I figure out what minisplit system to buy??
Sorry for all the questions
Great video Sir!!
Thank you very much
well explained and very nice.
Thank you. I do try to get everything
Nice video and well explained. Especially about the outlet itself and how there is not a neutral and how both hots are connected. I didn't realize you can run an outlet with 2 hots and no neutral. It looks like you are using 12/2 wire? When would 10/2 be required? I thought you needed 10/2 for 240V 20A? Can you use the smaller gauge wire for shorter runs? I'm running a 50 foot line to my garage for a 240V for an EV charger. I picked up 10/2 for the job. The charger pulls 16 amps.
Fantastic video
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you very much
Do you wire this to inside breaker box or breaker box on the pole or can it be either one??
Great video very informative
Thank you very much
Great Video!
Thank you very much
It took me an hour and a half to find her video to properly fix my receptacle outlet
Great video thank you
Very welcome
I know some about panels but I watch anyway, to confirm or debunk my knowledge; just because I'm watching it doesn't mean that I don't know anything at all about them. Both breakers don't operate on the same bar!! I understand that
out of all videos this one is best
You bet lol. Thank you very much.
@@Askmediy copper wire gage i once bought a roll cost over 200 bucks i thinks its thick i could use it but i have regular cord wire from a long cord i would rather use that plus in going to run it in a fireproof pv pipe on out side of house i feel no wires should be inside walls in case of electrical fire and it too late to seeso which wire ? thick or regular?
Good video really enjoyed it. If I could say one thing I would of like to seen the part where you turned the panel off I was confused for a spit second thought you were going on it hot
Now I can do it by my self! Tks ~
Awesome glad I could help out
Awesome video.
Thank you
Great Video. I want to install two nema 6-20R outlets in the garage for a printer that uses both power chords for printing and curing the ink (3A &16A). Which breaker and wire can I use? Can both outlets be wired to one breaker?
Thank you. No one outlet, one breaker.
Nice job Dominick. ⚡⚡
Thanks buddy
I have NEMA 14-50 outlet, is there a plugin adaptor 6-50 that eliminates the neutral wire ? I don't have an EV yet. I may purchase a 220V car lift that could use the outlet.
Good video, gives a nice overview of what's going on with 220/240V. You mentioned "turning off power to the panel." How did you do this? I have a main breaker on my panel that turns off all the circuits but I think the panel itself is still live (and dangerous). Do you have a separate switch for the utility service to the residential panel? Thanks again for keeping us DIYers informed!
Thank you. Yes I do have a main disconnect outside that we used. And yes, even though if you turn the main breaker at the panel off, the upper section is still very much alive and very dangerous
Great video. If i may i like to ask a question, i have a 220 V outlet that is setup ezactly like you dedcribed of the video. However what i really need is a 110 V can i converted from 220 to 110 easily.
You can, just use one of the hots and cap off the other.
Great video...I'm planning to run wire to the kitchen for a new Lg dual range stove burners are gas, inside is electric rated for 40amp..my old stove was 120...What kind of breaker doni need, double pole 40amp? And what size wire?...Thanks again.
Yes a new breaker will be needed. #8 wire for 40 amps
