How To

How to Install a Receptacle Box

Follow the instructions of your local building inspector before installing any type electrical outlet. This includes making sure that the wiring is correctly installed and that there aren't any fire hazards or water damage.

The majority of boxes come prewired, with four wires coming out of the breaker panel. The two black wires run through a box to the first screws on one side. While the red and the white wires run to the second screws on the opposite side. It is very important to make sure that you do not use wire nuts and wrap around the screws when connecting these wires together. This will make it difficult to get the wires in place once they have been tightened. You want to keep them loose enough to move freely but tight enough so they won't pull out of their respective holes.

You might want to add a receptacle to an existing box. This task involves removing the metal top from the box and adding a new cover. 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.

A modern light switch can replace the existing receptacles within your home. This task may be possible without the assistance of a licensed electrician. First, remove the switch from its mount. Then, disconnect all wires connecting to the switch. These wires include those that supply electricity to lights and power going into the switch. Now you are ready to start the replacement process.

After removing the switch, measure the distance to the wall and mark the location with a permanent marking pen. Once you have measured the distance between wall studs and marked them with permanent markers, you can determine whether the new switch must be mounted high above the floor or below it. Depending on the height of your switch, drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Or attach the switch directly using drywall anchors.

Once the measurements have been taken and the locations marked up, you can start the project. With the help of a family member or friend, you can begin to remove the drywall around where the switch will be placed. You should leave at least 8 inches between each stud to prevent accidentally cutting the cable. Next, install the switch by attaching the brackets to it. After attaching the cables to the switch, you will need to secure it to the mounting plates. After the switch is installed properly, it will be necessary to turn on the power again and to test the device to make sure it works correctly.
