How to Extend Electrical Outlets to be Flush with the wall

In this video we will show you how to extend your electric outlet receptacles to be level / flush when you have a tile backsplash or whenever you have a need to extend the receptacle. In this case the tiling has pushed the wall out, resulting in a "sunken" outlet. We will install simple rubber spacers or extenders behind the receptacle.
WARNING: Please ensure your power to your breaker is off before any electrical work.
Hopefully you all find the video helpful and interesting.

Nice tip. I like to make mine out of scrap 14 guage solid wire. Coil it around a Phillips screwdriver like a closed spring. Slide it off and cut it to length. You can get several out it depending on how long the wire is.

That’s a great tip sir thanks for sharing. Thanks again!

[@FixitFingers]

What a great little tip. That'll save some heartache later on.

Thats a neat product! I remember the light blue plastic “C” clips in the 80’s …they worked decent also!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Thanks and yes I kinda remember those.

[@MarkMcCluney]

Well, that's something I'll never be doing but I enjoyed watching anyway. Cheers Harki.

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Yeah it’s rare, only requires if the wall surface area protrudes due to tiling or something like that. Hope alls well with you…

@@LonghornWorkshop I meant because we have a different system back here! Cheers mate

[@SujMenon]

That's a handy tip, Harki. Simple solution 👍

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Thanks Suj, on reflection I should have tiled behind the receptacle and that would have done the trick. But with small tiles like tear this was a better option

[@MASI_forging]

Good luck on your next project 👍👍
