How To
How to Install Receptacle Box
You should follow all guidelines provided by your local building inspector when installing any type or outlet. This includes ensuring that your wiring is properly installed, as well as avoiding any problems related to water damage and fire hazards.
For installation, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming directly from the breaker panels. The black and red wires will run through the box to one end, while the white and red wires will go to the other end. When connecting these wires together, it is crucial to ensure that wire nuts are not used and that wire wraps around screws is avoided. If this happens, you will probably have trouble getting the wires to stay in place after they are tightened down. You want to allow them to move freely, but keep them tight enough that they don't pull away from their holes.
If you want to add receptacle to an already existing box, you might need to consider adding another piece of hardware. To do this, remove the top of the metal box and place a new coverplate. After the cover plate has been attached and the hole for the new receptacle is created, it is time to connect all the wires to this 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. The next step is to unplug any wires attached to the switch. These wires can be used to power the switch or supply electricity to the light fixtures in the room. After you've disconnected everything, you're ready to begin the replacement process.
After removing the switch, measure the distance to the wall and mark the location with a permanent marking pen. Once you've done this, you need to decide if the switch should be placed high above or low to the floor. Depending on the height of your switch, drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Or attach the switch directly using drywall anchors.
Once measurements have been taken, and the locations are marked up you can start the job. You can begin removing the drywall around the area where the switch is to be installed with the assistance of a friend or relative. For cable safety, make sure you leave 8 inches between each of the studs. Next, attach the mounting brackets to the new switch. After attaching the cables to the switch, you will need to secure it to the mounting plates. Once the switch has been installed correctly, you will need turn the power off and test it.
