The Mount Vernon Estate ... hallowed ground (no pun intended) Had an opportunity to visit the estate back in 20, an outstanding experience! Touring the Mansion, Gardens, Tomb, Farm, Distillery, and the Wharf... appreciate your video too

[@rafaelvelasco6357]

It's awesome to watch your videos. You make it so easy to understand. Thank you, Ryan!

[@bobbyb2952]

Great job explaining these in layman’s terms!

[@iaov]

Some new dryers (some all-in-one with washer, some not) use heat-pump technology (and are ventless) that are supplied by 15 A, 120 V rather than 30A, 120/240 V, so all the more reason even where a stacked combo unit supplied by 30A, 120/240 V is REPLACED, the new laundry equipment may need a 15 A, 120 V receptacle outlet.

Amazed while the NEC has a minimum requirement of needed receptacles in homes and hospitals but only a very few commercial buildings. I visited a recently remodeled maybe 20 by 30' main entry to a large building that had sets of electrically operated doors at both ends but no receptacles. Janitor was running a vacuum cleaner with an extension cord that electric doors kept closing on. Project engineer said no receptacles were installed because its not required by the code. The only place that comes to my old mind might be receptacles would have to be I stalked in elevator pits, hopefully within 25' of all roof top heating & AC units, switchgear rooms.

Thank you.

11:00 showing examples of receptacles satisfying the requirements for decks and the rear wall of a building was helpful to reinforce the learning.

Great series!!

"for a different reason I don't remember the 90ies" College years? 😉On a side note it seems this new code is going to throw a lot of stuff on my property out of code. But coincidentally there are modifications I made, not knowing these requirements, that fixed some places that would now be out of compliance. Basically for many of the same reasons you stated. We have more things we need to plug in or charge. So, whenever I'm modifying a space and changing the electrical I think about how many outlets I'll need in the space to meet my needs. The number is usually a lot! My family is lucky I'm handy, because my wife asks me all the time "um would it be possible if we could have an outlet here?"

The Juliet balcony got me on a project once. The architect showed Juliet balconies for a multi-story high rise residential, 6 stories and about 125 units. The architect didn't provide a sliding door, but a sliding window and the balconies weren't shown on the floorplans, just the elevations, so when I am working in autocad there was no balcony and it showed a window instead of a door. The project passed plan check, rough inspection signed off, electrical final signed off, building final signed off, and it was only when they got to Certificate of Occupancy did they ding us. By that stage all the walls are not only closed, but textured, painted, trim and flooring in, the building is literally ready to open save the CofO. Thankfully my company wasn't hit with fault, because they had to open the drywall on 125 units just to install one receptacle. The stupid Juliet balconies were only 3" deep, you couldn't even set a foot onto the decking it was so narrow.

Wow. Just...wow

Thanks for many informative videos. I have a question about GFCI receptacles and bootleg grounding. I understand that bootleg grounding is a violation of the current NEC. That said, I am wondering from a purely technical point of view why bootleg grounding is bad for a stand-alone GFCI receptacle as a replacement of a two-prong receptacle. With no receptacles on the load side, the GFCI receptacle with bootleg grounding seems to be a better configuration than that with an open ground. My question is purely technical. Your insight is very much appreciated.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

For existing installations it is legal (if we mean tge same thing by "bootleg"). See 250.130(C).

[@UrgoMeister]

Super helpful! Thanks

[@denverbraughler3948]

In basements, does NEC not require an outlet in each unfinished space in addition to what are required for specific equipment?

[@davidroddini1512]

I don’t know if there are exceptions or how long outside receptacles were required. But the apartment complex I live in doesn’t have any exterior outlets. However, according to the lease agreement we cannot put up outside lights or use any electrical equipment outside. Using any electrical device outside is a violation of the lease agreement and you can be evicted.

[@TheOGize]

Thankyou for the videos keep it up 👍🏻

[@stephenboanerges7246]

Hey there Ryan, do you have a video on how to ground a sub panel in a detached garage for dwellings? Please leave me a link if so. Thanks in advance.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

No, but that's a great idea. I'll put it on my to-do list.

Winner!

[@ErnieLA-]

Awesome

[@HellsFallenAngel1]

9:50 That's excessive. Great videos, thanks for the information.

[@mechelb4158]

What about do the unfinished portion of a basement for example or car bay need each a direct line ? Or can they be daisey chained?

[@dane5167]

if the foyer walls are all closet or cabinet space do i still need an outlet?

[@nhzxboi]

How many hotels have you been in that have a pile of furniture receptacles plugged into a fixed receptacle on a multi-outlet adapter that combines the fridge, microwave, TV and whatever else? I see those things as dangerous . I'm still alive though. Sometimes you have to move that heavy hotel furniture to reconnect some of the junk you want to use. I only do that after my bed bug inspection.

At 22:50 ... let's just agree that foy-AY is the worst pronunciation. FOYer is perfectly acceptable English, familiar in Utah and around the anglophone world. In French, it's more like fwa-yay. foyAY Is a pretentious half-way pronunciation used by francophiles and people who spend a lot of time around theaters.
