How To

How to Install a Receptacle Box

It is important to follow the recommendations of your local inspector when installing any type electric outlet. This includes ensuring that your wiring is properly installed, as well as avoiding any problems related to water damage and fire hazards.

As far as installation goes, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming from the breaker panel. The two black wires lead to the box's first screw. The red, white, and blue wires go to its second screw. When connecting wires together, you must ensure that the wire nuts and wire wraps are not used. It is likely that you will have problems getting the wires into place after tightening them down. These wires should be free to move, but not tight enough to cause them to pull out of the holes.

Add another piece of hardware if you need to add a container to an existing metal box. You'll need to take off the top of your existing metal box, and then add a cover plate. After you have made the hole for your new receptacle, and attached the coverplate, you will need to connect all wires to your new receptacle.

If you are looking to replace the existing receptacles in your home with a more modern light switch, you may be able to accomplish this job without needing a licensed electrician to perform this work. First, remove the switch from its mount. You should then disconnect all wires from the switch. These wires include those that supply electricity to lights and power going into the switch. After you've disconnected everything, you're ready to begin the replacement process.

After you remove the old switch, measure how far the wall studs are from your new switch and mark them using a permanent marker. After measuring the distance between the wall studs, mark them with a permanent marker. Depending on where the switch will be installed, either drill a hole or attach it to the wall with drywall anchors.

After you have taken measurements and marked the locations, you can begin the project. With the help of a friend or family member, you can start removing the drywall surrounding the area where the switch will be installed. For cable safety, make sure you leave 8 inches between each of the studs. Next, install the switch by attaching the brackets to it. Attach the cables to your switch and then secure it onto the mounting plates. Once you have installed the switch, turn the power back ON and test it to make sure it functions properly.
