Thank you for this

Great video explaining all the details along the way. Thanks so much for taking the time to show all steps.

2025 and you still ROCK! THANKS!

Very helpful. Thank you

Thank you for this 🙏🏽

Great video!

Wrong size box!?

This was very helpful. Thanks! so much!

The wire going to the black common screw is coming from an 14/2 power source?

One of the better videos on this. I think he should have shown tape on the back of the outlet, rather than just talking about it. Minor point though.

Thanks very helpfu 😮

What If There Is No Ground Or Neutral Wire?

Great vid super helpful

Excellent video

Very nice job explaining the steps in this video. So the ground wire does not need to be connected at the outlet or the box? Why do you not cut it in the outlet box? Is that in case you need it for a future 4-prong? Appreciate it!

Hello A quick question about the ground wire. If your working withe a metal box instead of plastic, would you attach the bear ground to the metal box?

many people do great videos and this is one of them / a very good video, i appreciate it, very educational; a big help.

Wow! This was the very best explanation and video that I've seen yet! Great job sir! Can you make a video on how to add new Amp and wire to panel?

Very good and easy to follow

This is the Best Video I have seen on UA-cam explaining "line and the load", and "240 vs. 120" and where everything should land properly and to read the directions of course. Thank you!!

How about putting black tape on the white line side wire?

Thank you for this clear organized explanation. It was exactly what I needed. I didn't know what to do with the ground. The tape suggestion was really helpful. Thanks again.

Very good explantion

Thank you

What if you don’t have the red wire ,just black and white

Great video.

For those who think this is easy, you should know that the old NEMA 10 series plugs like this one have been illegal for new installations since about 1996 in the US. Appliances built before then were designed for buildings that did not have a dedicated ground circuit, so they used the neutral wire to carry ground faults. It will work, but it is potentially dangerous because the frame of the appliance may have some voltage on it caused by the imbalanced 120V loads. The NEMA 10 series were replaced with NEMA 14 series which have 4 wires, or NEMA 6 series which have three wires but no neutral (in those the third wire is a ground, not neutral). You don't want to be using a NEMA 6 plug on an appliance that runs some 120V circuits since the ground wire would end up carrying the unbalanced load back to the panel which is also illegal. NEMA 6 plugs are designed for appliances that don't require the use of 120V circuits to power oven lights, accessory plugs, or circuit boards. To tell which plug your appliance requires, check the wiring diagram and installation manual for the appliance. If it is a relatively new appliance, you probably don't want NEMA 10 receptacles! If the appliance supports a dedicated ground wire the most versatile and safest option is to use a NEMA 14 plug and receptacle AND be sure any ground/neutral bonding strap inside the appliance is removed. The 4 wire configuration of the NEMA 14 series is the direction almost all new appliances are moving to, and older plugs may be flagged during home inspections.

Excellent video...your a great teacher too!

I had 4y Outlet at my rental property date change it to a 3-wire I did not know until they moved out and lift it hanging black trash I am also black I own the house

This was so well done and useful!

Very clear and concise, you would make a good instructor at a trade school. Just my opinion, for a 100% complete guide to 3 light testers you need a total of 8 outlets. In addition to the 6 shown here, there is a condition where only the red light is lit. Ideal is the only manufacturer I'm aware of that lists this problem, but it is called hot on neutral with hot open. It simply means a hot/neutral reverse with an open neutral. The last condition is where all 3 lights are lit, usually with one light brighter than the other two. This occurs when the outlet is connected to 240V or something considerably more than 120V, either the result of a lost neutral on a multiwire branch circuit or possibly at the panel or the utility connection to the building, or the wrong outlet was installed, for example a standard 120V/ 15 or 20A duplex outlet could have been mistakenly installed for a larger window air conditioner that requires a single 240V/20A outlet.

thank you sir great video!!

That was good and to the point. Question: If I take the bare ground wire and clip it to the outlet plate (keeping it away from the two hots and common), would that not be safer? If for some odd reason one of the hot leads came loose in the box and touched the outlet plate, the presence of the ground would trip the breaker, and otherwise (absent the ground), the plate would be energized at 110V were someone (child) to touch the plate (I know, this is a really unlikely scenario). I did clip my ground to the plate, and I"m wondering if there's any specific danger I'm missing by doing this. I have a 3 wire outlet.

Can the red go on the white plz let me no

Lol I had the nippers on the ground ready to cut it off

Well understood, No confusion, one thing at a time. Thank you?

My question is how in the world did you get the wire into that box? Mine will absolutely not fit those tiny romex slots. I'm going to have to drill out a hole.

Thanks bud it helped

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you sir.

Great Video for all level in installing an AC Disconnect

Great job Brother ❤❤❤❤

Violation of NEC 250.140(B) that allows 3 wire says "... if an equipment grounding conductor is not present in the outlet or junction box...". So that section doesn't apply, you have to use a a four wire receptacle in compliance with 250.140(A), and change the cord per appliance manufacturers instructions.

Ty for having this video

Thank you thank you so much. It helped me a lot. I just moved to a new home with a different outlet on the dryer and appreciate your help. Be grateful and God bless you.

It was really helpful!

Very good and clear explanation. Thanks

Since it is 240v shouldn't you use 10/2 Romex????? Asking for a friend...

Nice video but if it was 120v. How would that wire to the box.

Should wrap your white wire with some red tape to signify 240. I think that’s code.
