Great video! I have to put in a utility pole and service combo later, and this will help
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
In Tennessee the ground Rod has to go 8 foot and if it’s driven at a 45 angle it’s got to be 7foot
Didn’t even dig your own hole 😅😅😅 betas
How do you ground the house ?
what size wire and how long was the run?
80’ and 4/0 aluminum
What type of PVC were you using for the underground burial to the meter box ?
Primer….. EVEYWHERE
Great video! Learned a lot from the video and comments 😉
12” from any box and no further than 4.5’ apart vertically or horizontally
Would of watched full video but with all the camera movements I stopped its so annoying and very dizzying
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I was trenchin for some electrical conduit, only had to be a 18 inch depth, but of the 400 foot run about 150 feet of it was about 2 inches of hardpan dirt, and another 16 inches through just a solid granite slab of rock, very fun day.
Thats when you pour 2" of cement over it so you only need 6 or 12" depth 😂
This is a great pathway for people not wanting to go to college and take on a bunch of debt!
really video and I leanred a lot! I have a quick question, centerpoint in Houston just moved the power pole in my backyard to another location. what kind of electrician should I look for to do the underground service installation? and will the power line and internet cable go into one conduit and will be connect by the electrician in one job? Do I need to call AT&T or something? thank you!
They may do it for you for a fee however a local residential contractor can handle it. As far as multiple utilities going in the same ditch, they probably will have to be separated either by depth or width. AT&T will likely send their own contractors to do the work. Thanks for watching!
Within 12 inches from electrical box or fixture, and within 12 inches of vertically drilled holes. Horizontal run wires going through the holes is fine without staples. I might have to check the book
12” of an outlet (box) and every 4.5 feet vertical or horizontally. Bored holes are considered a support. Thanks for watching!
What kinda siding going on the house? If its brick your in a bad way as you should mount your meter base main on the surface of the brick. Same thing if aluminum or vinyl siding. They cant get the siding behind the meter base. They will have to work around it and thats not goid because after a few years water will get behind the meter and rot away the wood.
I agree with you as far as there is a potential for water to get behind it. I believe the siding guy will J-channel around it and also break in some aluminum. Thanks for watching!
All schedule #80 or just the vertical ? What size service wire in the conduit for 200 amp service?
Scheduled 80 on the 90 and vertical
What about the wire sizes?
Make sure you fire whoever that is in the background. 😂😂
Install a big red light outside your room. “Quiet now” . It will be helpful in many situations 😜
Not so easy in the New England winter
Appreciate the really nice explanation of how this is done. Just a couple of quick questions: 1. It appeared that you immediately backfilled after laying and securing the conduit. When are inspections done in your area for depth and correct conduit thickness? 2. How does one handle a situation if the house in not complete and ready for mounting the electrical box, can a temporary location (close to the house) be used to install the temporary service. Do you ever do this type of install? Thanks and again great job.
We call for the inspection after we lay the pipe. We use sweeping 90’s that are 3’. We do so much work in that area the inspectors know us quite well. We use the temporary power pole until we have complete the service. We have the utilities company disconnect the temp and terminate the power to the new dwelling at the same time.
6 inches from the box
Idk maybe 12” from a box?
Great Video, just what i needed for our RV pad!!! How did you film this, did you wear a camera on like a head band?
Yes, I filmed will a GoPro. It’s hard for me to film everything I do. The battery don’t last long.
@@Kisselectric you did a great job! I might try that method! Thanks!
your video is on the money even without editing is very important that you give a little code and tips like you do thanks
In my area clear PVC cement is used regularly. The gray cement can be used without cleaner. All PVC cement forms a solvent weld, not a chemical bond
You should have pulled mule tape, so you won't dig into sweeps
Just wondering how much something like this job, pays.
Shouldn’t you be removing the neutral to ground bonding strap? I think that is there only for 3 wire installs. Similar to how you don’t bond ground and neutrals in a sub panel.
No Expansion nipple😢😢😢
Just wondering if you ran the wires up and over the window and over rather than through at the roof hip bearing as well due to a dull drill bit or are they enforcing some kind of code kink down there. Also wondered on your last one if they let yall leave your staples loose at the boxes there or was that staple filmed "mid install". Thanks for the vids. Im a licensed master plumber with a full mechanical license here in Tennessee and am scheduled to tale my electrical exam next month. These vids help a lot.
I leave a little slack in between the staple and the wire. The staple is for a guide and some support. If the staple is tight against the wire the you will have a nuisance tripping arc fault breaker. The breaker will think the wire is pinched and will not work. Then you will have problems and the sheetrock will already be up. As far as the Romex being under or over a window, it really depends on whether or not there is a receptacle we have to get to. I have a 18” auger bit so I’m able to drill through all the studs! I always go back and put nail plates on where they are required.
Shouldn't there have been an expansion coupling there at the house?
Its called a slip fitter.
"That's how you wire a 4-way switch", nothing was explained... Only saw 2 guys stripping some wires and screwing them into random terminals 😅
I thought code since at least 2017 requires 2 ground rods at least 6 feet apart and the conductor from panel must be a single continuous wire that connects to both ground rods. At least that is what I read in a 2017 code book.
That's what I thought too and it was kind of strange that he only did one rod.
I will have to do a grounding electrode video. There are exceptions to the second grounding electrode. Also, it really depends mostly on the authority having jurisdiction (inspector).
You only need1rod as your supplementary grounding electrode if you have a ufer ground or a cold water pipe grounding electrode with at least 10' of bonded copper water pipe extending from the house. After the 10' you can change to plastic.
Your riser coming up out of the earth really should have been rigid or imc conduit, not plastic.
@@johndavies2949 No supplementary electrode needed with a ufer.
Electrician’s hammer😂
Most south carolina do this method.
Great job on the wiring. Excellent content. Good start to your channel.
Try tying a grocery bag or other thin plastic sheet to the pull string and use a shop vac to suck the string through. Works like an absolute charm! Great video. Thank you!
i don't like that you drop the knockout in the trench. Good contractors clean up after themselves
2" 36" radius 90 degree elbow. Edison makes us install a 3" conduit for a 200 amp panel. Then they make us mandrel the pipe. Wow , where is the second ground rod?
The code says 25 ohms of resistance or less to ground is required and if it isn’t then add another grounding electrode. In most cases around here due to the fact that the earth has good soil.
Here in zip code 34698 and the area we put that ground wire in conduit to keep it from being stolen. Been retired 6 years now. Nice work guys.
Always apply solvent cement to both PVC surfaces to properly meld together.
Really that lazy just drop the knockout in the trench your company name . What the rest of the job like .
Missing expansion fitting.
cmon man - throw your trash in a bag dude. I guess a trash bag isnt simple enough huh?
Expansion Joint not required in your area ?
No, unless it is in the specifications.
Did dist for 20 years 4" to 6"
It seems like the carpenters were late so you blocked them with your service 😂
we are required to use a slip coupling up to any enclosure. Do you ever use a wet vac to pull string in?
They do not require an expansion coupling in our pvc runs in my area unless the prints specify it. Yes, we use wet vacuums to pull string if we get it loaded up on the truck 😂
Video is great but way too short
