You can also wire the device the other way around - line to brass screw, neutral to silver screw, and leave the jumper in place. Doing this will cause the switch to control the receptacle, which has potentially interesting use cases.

Like always a superb teaching video. I am 77 Vietnam veteran and I have a problem with a fan with lights which is supposed to be turned on by a 3-way switch. I bought it 10 years ago for 800 dollars and I have been unable to use it. Every time I hired an electrician, he charges me money but does not fix my problem. Sir, if is not too much trouble do you think you can give this old man a hand, Thanks, Juan.

I have to echo others and say that this was a very helpful video. This was the first time that I replaced a combination switch and receptacle. I was replacing an incredibly old switch that was not clearly marked as newer switches are. Easy to follow and understand. Helped me to identify the wires and how to install the new switch. Avoided calling an electrician! Thanks!!

But at times the white wire can also be the load wire what you call continuity and that sometimes where things used to get tricky .

Thank you for your explanation. We have an older house with wires going to other parts of the house! It’s been fun 😅

Hi, you could have used the deep Sigma box, regular is $4.68 deep one is $11.×× in Lowes or Az , but would by easier than using the extension, i think i will get the deep one for my project (the switch is for an outdoor flood light, and adding a gfci outside in the box outside where the cable from the inside switch to the light outdoor will be crossing on its way, so , i think the outside junction box/gfci outlet will get crowded, not much space for wires.... so even though i already have all the bushing etc prepared... I think I will just get the bigger-deeper box and avoid 3 hours of accommodating cables ... and those gfci are really boxy and big and deep they barely fit in outlet boxes nowadays!!😅😅

Great. I have 2 blacks and will pigtail my whites I see in back. Light works just need to make bottom outlet HOT. I'm not sure if adding the white to bottom left silver will do bc it's not a black wire but will see...

Doing same in living room but LR just has 1white & 1black. Switch operates the lower outlet on opposite wall, don't think that's 3 way, I've tried every way on this one reversing wires. Not sure how to pigtail this one?

Great videos Bill thank you for sharing your knowledge. Have you worked with knob and tube wiring and if so how is a ceiling light connected?

Thanks! I have experience taking knob and tube out and replacing it, which is what I recommend highly.

Sparky Channel thanks for such prompt response. Reason I asked is because I have traced a ceiling wire to a switch on the wall ...there is voltage on one of the two ceiling wires and one leg at the switch when switch is open and voltage on both ceiling wires with the switch closed but when I connected a ceiling fan (blue and black from fan to hot wire and white to the other ceiling wire) nothing happens. I also tried connecting a light across the ceiling wires and nothing....
