Great video. I can’t find a video on hooking up a forging box with four outlets from Single source wire from panel on its own breaker. Last leg travels down to a lower wall outlet where it ends the line. so five outlets total to a single breaker
Hi, you splice electrical pigtails onto the home run (wire from the panel) to join onto the plugs. I kind of show it in this video about splicing a double gang box (it's for electrical switches, but same approach for plugs.. make sure to bond for plugs): becoming-an-electrician.com/splice-wires-double-gang-box/
You are very welcome! Stay tuned for many more training videos about becoming an apprentice electrician. My website has tons of articles/videos already!: becoming-an-electrician.com/
You said in your article that 3 gang boxes are required to be supported per code. Could you please let us know where in the electrical code that is stated? I can't seem to find it.
This is Canadian Electrical Code.. it's "Outlet box supports" under Section 12-3010 (some info may be in Appendix B, too..): Here's a helpful article I found, too.. search for "secured" in that .pdf: cdn-e.soneparcanada.io/PIM_Docs/Docs/STEP_ASSETS_PDF/14469667.pdf
Interesting that in that link, they indicate that the hanging board would not comply. I do understand they're trying to sell their hardware, but I assume they mean that the gang box should be secured to a stud on both sides.
I think they care called Nutek boxes.. or Thomas & Betts offers them, too.. could be your country as well.. here's a link: www.gescan.com/products/15-enclosures-boxes/02-boxes/03-weatherproof-boxes/02-non-metallic/p-TlBJV1NXVVM=-abb-wsw-us-1-gang-thomas-betts-ceiling-fixture-device-box-plastic

What brand are those boxes? Most don’t have ears…. thanx!
