How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
Always follow local guidelines when installing an electrical 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 box's two black wires are connected to the first screw. The red and white wires connect to the second screw. When connecting these wires together it is vital to not use wire nuts or wrap around the screws. If you do this, it will be difficult for the wires not to stick in their place once they are tightened. You want them to be free enough to move around but still tight enough not to pull 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. Once the hole has been made for the new device and the cover plate has been attached, it's time to attach all wires.
A modern light switch can replace the existing receptacles within your home. This task may be possible without the assistance of a licensed electrician. The first thing you will need to do is remove the old switch from its mounting location. Then you should take the time to disconnect all the wires connected to the switch. These wires are the ones that supply power to the switch as well as the ones that supply electricity for the lights in the area where it is located. After everything has been disconnected, it's time to begin the procedure of replacement.
Once you have removed the old switch, measure the distance between wall studs and mark it with a permanent marker. Once you have done this, you will also need to determine if the new switch needs to be mounted high above or below the floor. You will need to drill holes for the mounting bracket depending on how high the switch is to be mounted. Or you can attach it directly to the wall with drywall anchors.
After the measurements are taken and the locations have been marked up, it's time to get started. You can begin removing the drywall around the area where the switch is to be installed with the assistance of a friend or relative. To ensure that the cable is not accidentally cut inside the wall, you should leave about 8 inches space between each stud. Next, install the switch by attaching the brackets to it. You will also need to attach the cables to the switch before tightening it down onto the mounting plates. Once the switch has been fully installed, you will need to turn the power back on and test the newly added device to ensure it works properly.
