How to Wire an Outlet Safely: Step-by-Step Electrical Guide

[@Gruntled2001]

Thanks for the great content, bud. Anytime I want to get mad at a flathead screw, I remember that back in the day old timers had to drive flathead wood screws by hand, by dozens at a time. When I look at things from that perspective, undoing a couple and possibly replacing them with modern ones doesn’t seem to be so bad ☺️🤝

Thanks man! I like the positive mindset, true it really isn't so bad.

??? On the outlet screws, silver and yellow. Which one is use for the Hot(Black)?? Goofy

[@The_DIY_Remodel_Show]

I should have mentioned specifically black to brass and white to silver! My bad but the visual of that is correct in the video! Thanks for your input I'll be more doscriptive in the future!

[@takchu7673]

Should tell the viewers that white wire should be attached to silver screw and black wire to the brass one. Instead of using the term “loop up and loop down”. This will cause confusion to the inexperienced viewers.

Yea that's a good point, I'll emphasis that next time! Thanks for the input.

I mean no disrespect, but is your volume turned down or the video on mute, becuase I'm literally talking the intire video!

Flathead screws is NEC 300.2(C-20:D/(12,16)#66ROTF-LMAO) “Use Of Flathead Screws In Receptacles Is Mandated Because They Suck Balls And You Have To Be Absolutely Certain That You Want To Work On Them, This Isn’t Some Mickey Mouse Bullshit Repair Job, This Is Serious, And Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Regulating So Jerry The Print Guy Has Something To Do Every Year”

Takes off faceplate, sees flat head screws, puts faceplate back on, kicks Jerry in the nuts and calls an electrician

[@danielcastillo1140]

first: real pro work with the breaker on, second, you don't insulate the head of the screw who receive the cable rest of the process is very common

[@The_DIY_Remodel_Show]

Sure, but as my title says.. Safely and I didn't insulate the head I stripped the wire to the correct length if the insulation touches the head it's fine you just don't want it to be pinched under it!
