3 Types of Light for the Perfect Kitchen Remodel

[@amunderdog]

Every project. I am amazed at the tools required to complete the task. As i age, i realize, better tool selection gives better results with less errors.

[@barrycottle8282]

I recently remodeled our kitchen. I used the ideas of dedicated circuits for microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, insta pot. Also, as you did, dedicated line for fridge, dishwasher, and disposal. All used GFCI. One suggestion is to use an outlet with USB charging ports. I wired these into GFCI outboard so they still are protected. Thanks for a great video.

15:21 I like how you said "...knocking out that list" here and in the next scene, you're knocking on a wall.

😂 Our editor deserves a raise!

[@jefffielder2429]

Thank you for all the information really enjoy your explaining every thing

[@mar1video]

Great video ❗️ Thanks for sharing your ideas and trade secrets 😉

[@vince6829]

Love your videos. Please keep them coming. DC driver...I learned something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@Aepek]

One of my other fav boxes is the adjustable gang boxes, as makes setting the depth just right if something hanged, ya don’t be to tear out and replace, just use the screw and make it come out or go back……great Bo to have on remodel but also can be tricky to find at times

As an British apprentice electrician it’s really interesting with the differences between uk and American electrics their is a few things that horrify me (mainly lack of rcds/gfci, wire nuts, the lack of any sleeving on the cpc/ground and the state of some of your distribution boards. But it’s not all negative as theirs a few things that I’ve seen that I wish we had in the uk the colour coded second layer of installation to tell you the size of the conductor seems like a really useful thing that the uk should pick up on.

[@helmanfrow]

AFCI, GFCI and DF brrakers are the functional equivalents of your RCBOs, RCDs and such. Our grounds are bare free as God intended.😉

[@adamdavis2788]

@@helmanfrow yes I know you use rcds but they seem to be a lot rarer that’s obviously fine as you have different regulations but it would be interesting to see how they change in the future As for earth sleeving in the uk it’s a requirement as it could cause a short when putting outlets into back boxes between live and earth that causes faults

[@helmanfrow]

@@adamdavis2788 A bare ground coming into contact with a live conductor is a distinct possibility but I don't know how big a problem that is in reality. Maybe it's a huge issue of which I'm unaware. I'm not an electrician, after all. The Canadian Electrical Code now requires AFCI protection on nearly every type of residential outlet except lighting. It requires GFCI protection on any outlet in locations considered "wet". Protection can be at the breaker or outlet in most cases, although the breaker is preferable for AFCI unless you're running shielded cable. If you ask me it's mostly BS designed to sell expensive breakers and line the pockets of manufacturers and the regulation makers.

[@adamdavis2788]

@@helmanfrow just had to do a bit of research into what afci outlets are and it’s interesting that the uk is similar in the fact that affds are now becoming more required in installations but rcds are required on pretty much every circuit. It seems to be that they are both equal in the amount of protective devices required but the uk has arguably gone for the slightly safer option but in ether one I can see it all needing to be installed in the next 10-20 years

[@mcarroll598]

Lowes and some other retailers sell a spinner to disperse mostly 250’ rolls of Mc Cable, Romex and some other different types of cable assemblies. It eliminates all the curly Q’s in the wire. Highly recommend!

[@jarrydee2799]

I bought 4 of them when we were roughing a house, they are a lifesaver

[@mcarroll598]

@@jarrydee2799 definitely a life saver. I’ve been in the trade 25 years and used mine so much. And if you are running a lot of MC cable or Romex, it’s a must in my opinion. It pays for itself real quick!

[@BOBService417]

Awesome video!

[@Eightball2516]

I always put pieces of card board in my boxes over the wires to protect them from the roto zips

[@lahcfaou9207]

How far should I put the light from kitchen cabinets and between a light to light

[@williamcarvlin1934]

Handy Tip: When Taping wire for pulling Always leave a "Pull Tab" for the person on the other end so they don't spend time looking for the end. (last inch stick to itself=tab).

[@jarrydee2799]

We call it a buddy loop

[@bahbarino4479]

Drywall sheer only. Truss screws 👌🏼

[@MrKen59]

That screw in box you have looks awesome. Does it have a 3/8 hole for cable connector? One of the thinks I hate with plastic boxes are the self locking openings. I don’t know why I have such a hard time with those things.

[@devonholford3331]

Gm good work

[@helmanfrow]

I don't know about your local codes but in Ontario we can still use tandems for lighting. One of the last remaining circuit types that doesn't need expensive breakers.

[@FHES2005]

Whoever did those plumbing lines in that kitchen I don't know how he passes code cuz that hole he cut out in that Jack stud and King stud is illegal even with the nail plate cuz he destroyed the integrity of the structure

[@Calebjones87]

Please stop, don’t act like you know what you are talking about. Just because you don’t like how it looks, doesn’t mean it wasn’t done correctly or it didn’t pass both plumbing code or residential code

[@anonymousperson4363]

@@Calebjones87 Maybe FT is a plumber and I have known inspectors pass stuff that were unsafe and against code.

[@PsalmCourier]

I cant be sure whos right here bc im not either electrician or plumber (hopefully soon will be) but one things for sure. If im not 1000 percent positively sure i do not make suggestive comments people need to be sure in these trades.

[@CampsitePyro]

Redoing the receptacles in my kitchen. Noticed no box extenders . Aaarg. Also , one receptacle powers another receptacle using the backstab method. I am using commercial receptacles for more “plug grabbing power”. The back stabbing is ticking me off since the hot cable will not stay in even after really shoving it in and cranking down on my shepherd hook hot cable screw. Thanks for listening lol 🤬😜

[@billm6171]

Support only

[@nebraskaninkansas347]

I take it the voltage requirement for the wires in the box is to insulate the wire from voltage bleeding from higher voltage to the lower voltage cable.

[@RAWms]

NM question is kind of a trick question. Run through bored holes, it is both secured and supported but still must be stapled within 12" of outlet box.

[@traviswilliams5225]

Dishwasher are Considered as continuous loads.

[@piezoman79]

11:49 is that gas line run through treated lumber? Is that allowed?

[@tinker8115]

the new kitchen circuits look to be protected by non-afci breakers at 53:22. Are those new circuits not required to be AFCI protected?

[@richardscarlett7942]

you need to take into consideration the newer dishwashers. If you select all avaiable wash options a dishwasher can run 5 hours

[@ElectricProAcademy]

Good thought, we may need to revisit that...

[@richardscarlett7942]

well, I'm not an electrician but I am a Liscenced plumberI only know this because I have one of these crappy new low water dishwashers@@ElectricProAcademy

Do you ever use Walabot before drilling through walls? I have been thinking about getting one...

[@edfountain4727]

FYI you can seal sharpie mishaps with any metallic spray paint.

First time I saw WAGO’’S come with recessed can lights was around 2008. I believe Halo started doing it.

[@lahcfaou9207]

Hi Can a gas oven outlet and fridge be on the same circuit?

[@jarrydee2799]

I was not aware of any code in residential that say how many outlets you can have on a circuit.

[@helmanfrow]

Are the junctions on those lighting cans accessible without disturbing the finish?

[@EXLMOB]

Most cans are accessible, there are 3 or 4 screws on the can itself and you can pop out the can if needed,

[@brianc3481]

What can be said about a panel that is in a basement and walls above it have pipe runs above it? like PEX that is continuous?

[@tobybrubaker455]

What's the power consumption of the range that your only running 12 wire?

[@mar1video]

They mentioned a gas line , so most likely the stove is gas (NG or LP).

[@johnrackiewicz286]

What is BX? Can't find it anywhere in NEC or the depot. Are you talking about AC? Let's TRY to keep it professional.

[@danielkofman4592]

Can you show us the driver that will operate the low volt lights? How will it fit into the single gang?

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

I’m curious too, as my former company used a single gang driver that cost like $150 but sounded like they where having issues with them.

[@ricks1611]

The receptacle below the sink for the dishwasher should not have a GFCI there because doesn't code say a GFCI has to be accessible to test monthly. Behind a cabinet door under the sink is not considered accessible? Same thing if you put a GFCI behind a refrigerator.

[@FHES2005]

I know it's out but I haven't yet read the new 2023 NEC book yet

[@russrockino-rr0864]

A lot of the recessed cans now come with Wago-style connectors.

[@NGinuity]

Honest question, not a complaint: All that fussing about with trying to cram 6 circuits into 4, could you not have just come off of the main with a sub panel for about the same amount of labor time? Your issue was a matter of total circuits and not load estimation correct?

[@Bradley-tx6ed]

we call them slider boxes

[@Byron88]

I'm surprised you're allowed to have a fridge and stove on same circuit, they each have to be a "seperate branch circuit" by code in Canada

[@jarrydee2799]

SOme people make the fridge dedicated, I don't. 2 circuits for the entire kitchen is fine, unless you have some crazy big kitchen.

[@benjaminmattern3822]

Uncoil ur wire don't pull it off the spool !! And u can always pull a fridge or another appliance circuit back to the panel and double it up so you are covered..micro..2 appliance and dishwasher/ disposal all get home run ..u can double up then u have it if need

[@jasonmoretski6910]

You should buy a wire wheel that way you romex wire is nice and straight

"Labour savings worth it? Maybe." ...he says, huffing and puffing at the top of a ladder with arms stretched out overhead. We're not getting any younger, my dood. For lighting connections lever nuts are a no-brainer. You say as much yourself a few moments later. Take your own advice, already. 😁
