    After my tenant moved and I demolished the place I had a 240V 2 wire pump at my property and the bottom of the switch was busted off, the only two wires connected were the top ones. The tenant couldn't remember how he hooked it up. Even though I couldn't hear you I could see that you hooked it up exactly like it was with the in and out wires matching top to bottom. I was thinking it was a standard switch not thinking it was a 2 pole type. Now it all makes sense. Thanks for the Video.

    Please have all required tools and supplies ready and available. Use a site with no distracting background noise and speak loudly and clearly.

    Thank you! Wiring it with the ground up and then flipping it around for the other side never occured to me. It also makes pushing the switch back in much easier.

    David, thanks for making the video. Looks like you tied the grounds from the line and load together and ran a pigtail off of it, correct? Working on a similar project, but the switch is controlling a shop heater.

    Klein makes strippers specifically designed to strip 12 and 14 gauge lines. Both the wire itself and the coated sheathing that protects the wires.

      What a bunch of jerks. How many of you are trying to be helpful, take the time to shoot a video, create a Chanel, upload, and then be attacked for being a good guy? God bless you for helping others despite all these negative comment buffoons.

    Great video to show that you are actually working but no wire codes for each screw? Man there are places burning down out there because they think you connected this color to that color 😂

      Wire the hot leads through the switch like in the video, and just bond your neutral (white) wires together in the box.

    Not a great how to video at all. Besides the noise quality already mentioned, ideal brand green wirenuts have a hole in the end so you can feed one piece of extra long ground wire through it and not need to pigtail, saving some space in the box. Also, 240v shouldn't be using white wires for anything, maybe its the video quality and those are pink but if not get a roll of red or blue tape and mark your wires accordingly before someone gets killed.
