Great job man. Since we aren't allowed to use 6/2 NM here in PA for our EV chargers, I've been running 6/2 MC or 6-6-8 SEU instead. It's a little harder to work with but the nice thing about it is you can just strip off a few feet of outer sheathing and you're left with identified THWN-2 conductors. That means there is no need to make a splice in the basement, just screw a 3/4" MC cable connector into a 3/4" female PVC connector and go straight to the charger outside.
Hey Ronnie!!! Love the new video!!! Jet is one good looking boy!!! I have a Silver GSD, and Malinois, and love them like my son! Anyway, Love the new video. You know today, I was finishing a job today, and I was feeling lazy and I wasn't going to put a cover on a box, and I thought of you saying do it right the first time. I installed the cover. As a new contractor, I am loaded up with work and I was really feeling the time crunch, everyone pulling at the strings. I thought the quicker I can get out of here, the sooner I can get to the next one. But watching you and listening to your words of wisdom, I did the right thing and did it right. I hate to say it, I got lazy, but I corrected my path, and did it right. Thank you Ronnie, I am just really feeling the pressure to get all this work done. I really didn't think I would have all this work!. Keep up the good work! keep encouraging us small shops! and maybe do a video on how you keep on top of things... How do you deal with pressures of being a busy contractor. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year brother...
I like how you transitioned from metal box to pvc- thanks for all your videos. Wish your dog a happy life. Merry Christmas to you and anyone who reads this 🎁🎁 Edit to add, on that short leg, why the expansion joint? - thank you
Merry Christmas Ron, Gus, Gonzo, and welcome Jet. Merry Christmas everyone 1000 blessings upon your home! Take care, stay safe, and God Bless each of you!!! 🎅🤶🍾🍾🥂🥂🐧🐧⛄⛄🎄🎄
Building code calls for a minimum of 2" from the bottom or top of the floor joist and a minimum of 2" from between each hole. The 1-1/4" distance is for stud holes. I see the 2" violation very day as a building inspector in Oregon...just saying.
Nice install. Interesting to hear about the allowance for #6 cable on 60 amp chargers so you can get the full 48 amps charging. I have just been mostly putting in 50 amp breakers here in So Cal. People just don't usually want to pay for the extra size wire or a full panel upgrade.By the way there are butt splices available that are insulated in many configurations.
Since the 6/2 has THHN/THWN conductors, did you have to splice? I use a box inside like you did but strip the jacket and paper off the romex and loop the conductors in the box. Anyway it was a good clean and well explained installation.
Ron, take a look at the ILSCO PBTS-2-4 Will make your job easier when bugging the #6 cables, they also come in 3 barrel, 4 barrel etc Anytime you’re splicing or tapping cables over #10 will make you happy
That’s really convenient that the local code allows you to use NM for 48A EVSEs. Especially for units that are mounted to drywall, makes for a clean installation.
Hi I have a question if you were to transition from Romex to car flex would instead of using the junction (asking because if they were to finish the basement wouldn't that mean the junction box would have to be accessible) would that have been code compliant ? thanks for any feedback and merry Christmas
Ron you had said the charger charges at 48amps 6-2 NM isn’t rated for that. 48amp continuous load x1.25=60amps 6-2 NM in the 60degree column is only 55amps.
Beautiful install. Do they not require GFCI for the EV in NJ? NEC 2020 210.8(F) says that outdoor outlets require GFCI protection. I’ve installed that exact charger before and it says they don’t recommend GFCI but it also says it should be code compliant for the NEC so the instructions kinda contradict itself.
@ 210.8(F) states that outdoor outlets (not just receptacles) require GFCI protection. I failed inspection once for hardwiring an EV outdoors and not GFCI protecting it because I had also only GFCI protected it if it was a receptacle but technically that EV outside is an outlet which needs GFCI protection. I think it’s a garbage rule and there should be an exception for EVs, just like there’s an exception for HVAC units in 210.8(F) Exception(3)
@@keithb2696 there’s no such thing as a 50/60 amp GFCI receptacle and this exact EV says they don’t recommend it but it says to follow the code and the code states that if it’s installed outdoors, then it needs GFCI protection

Today was just a test. Tomorrow I'll be spending the day at the Meadowlands and brother it will be freezing tomorrow!
Looks Great Ron! Merry Christmas from Utica, NY...
Top notch work Ron! Merry Christmas!!

Clean install. Nice job, Ron. 🙂
I watched this job already a few days ago from the aerial drone spy footage.
Hahaha😂
Nice work Ron!! Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy new year to you and your family’s⚡️⚡️
Thank you John! To you and yours as well!

Will you see current drop on a splice?

I want to start utilizing that PVC backer board on my installs.. Would you mind telling the thickness, where you get it, brand.. Nice touch!

Why did you install the GFCI outlet ? what was the purpose ?

Great content as always I really don't like the 15 Amp outside as a convenient outlet tho.
Merry Christmas Ron to you the Mrs. and your four-legged kids.
Where's that Milwaukee heated jacket, maybe Santa will bring your one.

@@flunky14 the GFCI protection is required for EV chargers using a cord and receptacle, inside or outside. This is hardwired.

Most EVSEs say not to use GFCI on the incoming line. That makes it hard when installing a GFCI receptacle for the EVSE.

Nice job, but junction box should always face down, if and when finishing basement with Sheetrock.
I love snow!!
I’ve bent 3/4 inch PVC with a regular heat gun. Not as fast as the oven, but I don’t have one of those.
I think I'll be having one of these installed next year and paying for #4 AWG copper, because it's at least a 60 foot run.
Are you worried about voltage drop? Is that your concern?
Overkill
what size wire?
I think Ron said 6 AWG
6-2 non-metallic sheath cable
# 6 AWG copper.
Same day editing services. Nice!
LOL production
Why not run 12/2 20amp instead of 14/2 15 amp??????
Pretty sure code mandates a dedicated receptacle be 20 amp …. Not to mention it’s a wet location.
@@kentbassler5037 why not put in a sub panel while I’m there too?
