How To Rough In Wires For a Bathroom Light & Fan Two Gang Switch Box

[@juandenzer637]

"Standard height is 48" to top of the box" Best tip so far on all the countless wiring of electrical I have seen. Thanks for taking a second to include that.

[@LightGesture]

I personally roughed my house at 42" to bottom, because children and we have stuff in our hands often.

[@sixstring215]

This dude has some of the best videos on electrical outlet there. Nice work man

[@surferdude642]

That was an excellent demonstration of twisting 4 #12 gauge wires. I need to practice that more as I seem to make a good looking spiral only about 70% of the time. My limited experience tells me that connecting 3 or more 12 gauge wires makes pre twisting mandatory. Then again, I could not worry about it and just use Wago 221 lever nuts. I think they are the gold standard currently.

[@AnthonyMauriell]

I found this video very clear to follow and very instructional for an amateur like me. I was able to understand why I was having some issues with a timer switch that I want to install. Thanks

[@mytubebobbie06h]

Easy to follow, easy to understand, simple basic instructions makes for a great learning experience. Great video.

[@DavidBogdan-z6p]

Your video was extremely helpful. I put a half bath in the basement and had to run a new line for the ceiling fan and light. After watching the video I had no problem putting the fan and light combo in. Thanks

[@malikto1]

Another excellent video. I've been using the Wago connectors for a while now instead of the twist caps and prefer the space savings in the box. Long-term I think they will perform better as any changes in the box won't require untwisting wires and having to shorten them to remove the damage from the twist. They also save time.

[@Roy-ij1wq]

I agree that the Wagos are convenient if there is a chance you will be adding or subtracting wires from a junction box especially when field conditions require a change of plans. For example, I just added 12/3 to an outlet box to power a switch for undercabinet lights. And the video showed a great applicaton for Wagos to test the switch circuit by simulating the switch being on. Another great application is using the new inline Wago to lengthen a short wire. My problem with Wagos is that it is easy for the levers to accidently open when folding wires into the box and the wires don't always seat if you are not careful. If space is not an issue, I may remove the Wagos and replace them with wire nuts before folding the wire into the box. If space is an issue, or if I decide to keep the Wago, I tape the levers down before folding.

[@Kangenpower7]

When I lived in a home in Garden Grove, I wanted to install a ceiling fan in my bedroom, without opening the walls, and put in the three speed fan switch and light control where my existing light switch is. So I have access to the attic above, and put in a box near the light switch. The wire going to the switch was then connected to one of the romex that was going to the switch, and to the wire leaving the switch to the next one. so I now have 3 extra wires. It made hooking up the light easy. I had three romex going to that switch, in from the circuit breaker, out to the next light switch, and out to the existing ceiling light fixture. It's been 30 years, so not all is remembered right, but I did get it done without needing to install more wires. For the living room, I put in a steel box in the attic, nailed to a 2X6, and then cut a hole in the drywall below that, and put 1 romex to that box. Then put in a ceiling fan that has a built in remote control, so easy! Glad I did that, and every new ceiling fan after that one. I put it on the same circuit breaker as my furnace, and that has plenty of extra power before reaching the 15 amp limit.

Ben you did excellent on this one (not that my opinion matters) but in all aspects you nailed it, yes you are beyond what’s required but doing a lot for future is what separates the true craftsman from everyone else. especially liked the staple requirements 👍. Informational note many blue plastic boxes for new work don’t actually have a clamping mechanism it’s more of a knockout...very common, on new builds..

[@ibrahimbabatunde9975]

You're from which country, am also into electrical

[@ktw7hu]

While it is code now to have a neutral present at every switch box...adding the pigtails for them when not needed is unnecessary. You have them capped off in the back in case it's needed for a future change, but since you're using regular switches adding the pigtails is just taking up more space in the box. Plus more of a chance to have a wire nut come off and cause a short. Yes, it's convenient to have the pigtails ready to go if they're eventually needed but the cons far outweigh that. Otherwise great job and very neat work. Union apprentice electrician here from LA and enjoy your vids.

[@ricoludovici2825]

Benjamin tells us that the more you manipulate copper wire, the stiffer it becomes. He likes to connect the wires and push them into the box ONE TIME. That is HIS particular custom. You are not wrong but he - and I - really don't like pulling wires out and reconnecting them.

[@keithharrington4595]

As an apprentice, please make sure you are reading the code carefully. Does 90.4 really say that ahj can toss out all the NEC rules? Does 110.3.(B). Really demand we follow the manufacturer's instructions? Does 404.2.(C). Really have about 6 exceptions to the, "neutral in every box"? And is it ahj or NEC that lets us not fill those 1/4 in holes in 4 x 4 metal boxes? They are un-used openings. Your friends and family are probably already looking to you as an expert. Work hard, be that guy.

[@Kangenpower7]

I was watching your "Live sink" and water fixture that is causing your touchless sensor to show live power. Reminded me of another place, where that happened in a bar. They had a un-used roof top spinning sign, (1970's). and when that circuit breaker was on, then the whole place - every metal stud or wall panel, they where all "Hot". By disconnecting that one wire, it all went back to normal. Easy way to discover the problem is shut off 1 CB at a time, until the fault goes away. In some homes, you need to shut off all of the breakers, then turn on 1 at a time, until the fault shows up. Then shut off that breaker, and turn on the rest, one at a time, until the fault comes back. So now you have 2 circuit breakers that someplace in that home are connected together. Good luck finding that problem. Yes I have seen it in a couple of homes. It is actually far more danger than you might think. So say that if CB #2 is on, the circuit is energized and rated at 20 amps. Shut off #2 and turn on #6, and now both circuits have power, and the #6 breaker can also feed 20 amps into the same circuit, without tripping. So in reality, you could be pulling 35 amps and not trip breaker #2 or #6. This can happen when you feed one receptacle to another, and then you get two circuits connected through 1 receptacle. Many times this happens when you have a table light that is controlled by a wall switch, and they mess it all up! Good luck with your project!

[@weldonpinder7295]

Hey I've seen a couple of your videos and I love how you take it slow and explain very well. But I watched a different video with you wiring a 4 gang box and you told your friend that all of the neutrals are not supposed to be connected because they're different circuits but in this one you did. So if I'm wiring a 3 or 4 gang box with one power supply coming in are all the neutrals supposed to be connected for all the switches? also would I be able to jump another hot wire from a box like in this video to another box with a single pole switch.I'd really love to see a video with you showing step by step of wiring everything together in a deep junction box in a attic for lights and fans, 3way switches etc. Just to go more in depth a little.

[@brianfletcher7942]

Excellent channel Ben. Not rough in related but I really like to install fan timer switches with ten minute run time up to an hour run time to help get rid of shower humidity to help prevent mildew. Not sure if I trust the humidity sensor switches to run long enough.

[@normferguson2769]

I use the Edwards timer myself. Considering we now know that, in Canada, the shower moisture penetrates the drywall and condenses on the poly sheet when it is cold out, and then can drip back in when it warms up, causing black mold on the drywall. The timer lets the occupant leave the fan on for an hour after a shower while they head out to work, etc. It saves coming home at night to find a fan still running. The hour of fan seems to vent the moisture nicely.

Interesting how you wire up in America compared to here in Australia and the UK which are similar. We wire bathroom fans and heater lamps to the light circuit of 10 amps 240v. A dedicated lighting circuit is often used in larger builds to bathrooms only. I like the boxes even though we don't see boxes used at the stitch points over here in domestic builds.

[@Dmitrytln]

In Europe many people use washing machines in their bathrooms (often illegally cause distance from bath/shower to electric appliances should be at least 2 foot, but people install them close to bath), so 10A circuit is very small and bathroom requires two circuits. In large European bathrooms some people organise saunas, which requires 3-phase electric power. In America quarter is powered with high voltage and each consumer has dedicated transformer, but in Europe districts have common transformer and such saunas in bathroom sometimes cause voltage drop, especially in historical districts.

at @1:30 you set up a receptacle box below. As you mentioned the power comes from down below (basement or first floor) and it meets that receptacle and you mentioned GFCI thereafter therefore I assumed that receptacle will be GFCI. Does any incoming connection need to meet a GFCI receptacle then distribute per code when working in wet areas?. I'm working on a setup similar to that and I need to run power from an outside receptacle that is not GCFI. I'd assume that the first connection in the bathroom needs to be GFCI. I'm not an electrician but I'm familiar with the theory of electricity and magnetism, digital systems, and ac/cd circuits, Ohms, Gauss etc. Excellent video, subscribed.

[@keithharrington4595]

Your description left me thinking about to many code sections and mentally kicking myself to remind me that each jurisdiction can select different rules, even throw the code book out. So, I would encourage you to call in a local electrician. Not to do the work, but to "consult" for you on easy fixes and best practices. Remind them that all you need is the pathway to go so you can do it and give them a little cash for looking and recommending. Permits might be required, they may have fought your same problem before and can give you the playbook. Also, I am not an inspector but find them very helpful and eager to have safe buildings. A call there might get you the rules before you do anything. Finding out your cable was the wrong type before you hang sheetrock might save you more than if the pros did it once.

[@stanleym3537]

Great job.

[@aurvaroy6670]

Couple things I'd do differently. I would pull all the romex into the box first, then strip. That way I don't have to relabel the cable and I can leave more sheathing inside the box. Also, I would use a normal wire nut if there are two ground pigtails. I only use greenies if there's only one ground wire needed. I would also consider having one 12/3 switch leg unless the fan is separate from the light or the local code requires 2 separate neutrals at the ceiling fixtures. I'm not an electrician but I'm majoring in electrical engineering and I have worked with electrical wiring for couple years.

Consider using steel boxes with a mud ring next time.

You missed threaded screw holes that don't strip out easily, rigidity and strength, and the convenience of self-grounding devices that become VERY apparent when the number of gangs increase. Also, there is no such thing as a "non-metallic non-conductuve system" with electricity. The extent by which you construct with metal materials is arbitrary.

If you knew how to drive a screw it would not be a problem. Guess you don't know what nonmetallic means either . Takes all kinds to make a world I guess . Move up to the 2020s man steel is not the ultimate end all .
