everybody I'm Dominic in this video I'm going to show you how to install a 110 volt outlets and a whole bunch of them in this case just three of them to our panel now just so you know ahead of time this whole setup please just to show you guys know this is live C panel nothing in it ok first thing we want to do is figure out how many outlets that you want to put on each circuit breaker by rule thumb I normally try to stay like around 810 outlets per circuit either it be a 15 amp circuit or a 12 amp circuit I'm sorry 20 amp circuit on a 12 wire so after you figure out how many outlets you want now you start putting the boxes in again these are this height for the video normally we're going to put them down much lower okay so let's start running some wire and I'll show you what we're doing okay sorry Brady put our out our boxes in for our outlets and now I want to start drilling through all our studs so we can run our wire so just a little heads up what we're going to be doing we have our panel now this one here is located a foot away yours could be 50 foot away 100 foot whatever so we're going to take our gun up are going to come from the panel we're going to come down and we're going to go to each outlet each one of these which I'll explain now we don't want to take the shortest route we just don't want to get a wire from here and go straight to the box alright we want it down a little bit so we can put a staple in here and secure it then go up to eat up and down to each one to drill it there's a drill I like using these Spade bits be not only I'm only gonna have one wire going through it I'm usually 9/16 bit and really I'm gonna put it right in the middle okay real important that you try to stay into the middle of the stud when you're doing it so the screws are nails for the sheetrock and everything else it's not gonna go through your water okay went and ran our wires and I'll explain that to you in a second first I want to show you how I can't get it to the panel we have our white wire which is our Neutral which would go to our neutral busbar here you have our hot wire our black wire now that one's going to go right to the actual breaker itself in our case would be a 15 amp breaker and our ground our bare wire is going to go to our ground busbar wires coming down I stapled it in now you want to staple it like but then like I think it's inch and a half got what code actually is ah it's been doing for so long I just do it then we're going back down through our holes that we drilled right here so that wire is really nicely secured as spanning at 16 inches for our studs now you see this one here I didn't strip the X I want to show you how to strip these the covering all for this now I already know even if I come back in in a year from now I can't see alkis all sheetrock now I know that this wire that's on the Left that's coming from the left side you see the holes here on the bottom where the wires coming that that is going to the left so in our case is coming from the panel so this is our power in this one here I know what's going that way to the rest of the outlets and this is our power out real important that you know that it's a great way to follow it so you always know if there's ever a problem later on or you're changing something now okay so I know again this wire here comes up down down here goes here and it is our power in and our power out and so forth now this is the end of our circuit now in this case we only have three outlets but we could have 10 outlets this is the end of it okay so you have our hot wire here our neutral and our ground there's not another wire going anywhere else explain that to you a little bit clearer I'll hook up the outlet let me go back to this one here and I'll show you how to strip it okay now another important thing is I mean you can always leave too much wire coming out but if you're too short on it well first of all you'll you'll fail your inspection and it makes things really hard when you start putting all your whole outlet together what I like to do I choose a span of my hand for my pinky to my thumb to the box and get a general idea and that's how long I want the wires coming out now to strip them I use a utility knife I come down slice right in the middle between the wires peel it back and then grab one end and pull just like this all the way down into the box now real important you don't want to get this covering you don't want to peel it back so short that the wires are hanging out of the bomb because you will fail you want to leave like a good at least a quarter inch 3/8 of an inch of that sheath showing all right and then just fill the wires apart you got some paper in there peel that out of the way again Capital D Tilley night because you don't want to cut into the wire and that's how we make them all bare like that okay all right now I'm going to show you how to wire our first outlet here our power in or power out okay first thing we want to do is we're going to grab our outlet in this case is our 15-amp outlet now let's take a look at the outlet here in between these two screws we actually have a tab in here well that actually connects that the top of the outlet and the bomb and outlet together you can have that on the neutral side well in this case the hot side and the neutral side on the neutral side we also have the ground so the ground which we have here which is our bare wire and what's right what I did I went and connected our two grounds together so I just want to terminate all our grounds here you can see what I did I got only and I just twisted them together with a pair of pliers now real simple on the back of the outlet you do have these little holes not all these outlets but most of their unifying in home stores you can actually just push it right through there and it makes a connection I don't like doing it that way I think it's a real chintzy way of going what I like to do is grab the outlet that you have to get positioned like this and now when we tighten this screw here is we're going to be at clockwise so real important every put the wire on the right side of it and I just use that and I bend it around like that nice and tight you see that I mean it's really pretty secure and then from there we can tighten it really good I mean you know a lot of reasons for fires in houses are bad connections and one thing we want to do and you have like you know how many outlets you actually have in your house we want those outlets had a really good you know connection okay so see that I mean that's really tight that's not it's never gone anywhere I really don't ever have to worry about that and we're going to bring our other ground here neutral to this one here our ground here and our two hots to the other side okay when it connected our rest of our wires here we have our two hots coming in we have our two not our neutrals here in our our ground all right now one thing before we push the outlet back in to the box I'll have to get electrical tape and just wrap it around the whole entire outlet you know once is good and good enough just like that it's a good safety thing to do that so if you're working on the outlet and you go to pull the outlet out when you grab both sides of that and now if that power was on by accident of course you're gonna you know you're gonna get you're gonna shock your ass on that one okay so you got all that now let's grab the wires and you got a lot of wires here okay now you got this big one with them with the wiring on want to push them in now again I already put the logical tape on see the ground it's all bare like that try to keep that your grounds on the side where the grounds are on the outlet okay cuz you know just in case it was rub against somehow you know you don't want to eat it so let's push that in like that get the rest of wires you can fold them down and then push them in get on like that now you can see now I'm really fighting war but now it's a little bit easier now you put your screws here one thing to know try to keep the outlet nice and square you know networks bent like that you know then put it in try to do it like that it has a little neutral like that so be a lot easier trying anything straight later on of course you know we don't put sheetrock on this wall yeah so you wouldn't want to be putting outlets and you just fighting tighten your screws so anyway but I did I say this one for you okay we didn't put an outlet on this one now let's say we're you know we're doing all our electrical work right and we're running all our wires or what's called roughing electrical obviously the wires you know they're dead okay and they're not connected to the panel yet but let's say they are okay what I always like to do you got your hot leads I like to put a wire nut on each one when I throw it into the wall just in case later on somebody turns it on just you know just don't want you hey but no wire nice to show you right now I'm going to do is just push these wires in to go to the outlet box here push them in really far okay so now we're ready to go over with the sheetrock so you go with your tool to cut out your outlets you really don't have to worry about cutting the wires too much and let me tell you I seen some houses where the sheetrock guys because they're not electricians and they don't care well just cut the at all the wires and make a real big problem okay so anyway that's how you do we start with our our panel or breaker going well this case our 15 amp breaker we have a hot lead we have our ground going to our ground bar neutral going to our neutral bar and you really be able to tell that because you'll be able to your neutral coming in and so forth and if you can't tell honestly I don't do this just hire a professional electrician but one thing you can do if you have a lot of these to do a lot of wires run especially far away talk to your location Tom you want to save a few dollars and you want to run the wires at least to the area because that takes up a lot of a lot of time for a lot trishing to do when they're really hard to get to so mutton tell you might want to consider but back to where you were we got power out to your to your go to your first box here again ours is a foot away yours could be a hundred feet away back out to the outlet like I just show would you back out to another one another one another one up to ten is a good thing now either it be 15 amp circuit a 20 amp circuit so holding the truth now this is a white wire which just tells me that it is a 15 amp circuit okay now if it was a yellow wire chances are it's going to be a 20 amp and so forth okay now this is the end of the line here okay everyone has one of these that's that's at the end okay did not there's no words power is not coming out of this outlet and going anywhere okay so you can see we just have our neutral a hot and our ground just like everything else the only difference really other than having on the wire come now is the ground is just going to go directly to the outlet um so you don't have another way not to worry about pigtail on that okay boom 110 volt outlet power or 120 okay why do people we say 110 120 well I'm not gonna get so crazy on us I it's a variation of the voltage the drop if you're a house if you have a house that's close to the transformer like really close kids are gonna be you know 120 but that same house is now 200 feet and you don't have a transformer in between well it's just the voltage but drops it's not a big deal I mean yeah it's it's in within specs so don't ask me okay anyway I hope you learned how to shock your ass I mean install 120 110 volt outlet I'm Dominic thanks for watching
