Hi I am Drew Fendy, master home inspector. I have been inspecting for over 24 years.
Today we are going to describe how to install an electrical receptacle for Expertvillage.com.
Okay, we are ready to install the outlet ground fault interrupter remember our coating before
we blacked the brass, silver for the white and green for the ground. So we are going
to insert the wire. Then we insert the white wire and we tighten it up, and make sure they
are good and snug. The ground wire we need to bend it over and get it so it is in a clock
wards position from the ground screw,. Hook it on and tighten the screw. Remember it is
going to be clockwise so when it tends to tighten, it tightens tight. When you are all
done it should have contact around at least three-quarters of the screw should have the
wire underneath it. So no we have got all wired correctly and again in the box we do
not want to just jam it in. We want to bend the wires and get them up, bend them down,
bend them up and this way, bend them again, they will slide in real nice. You should put
it in a little bit of angle and line up the screws up top, screws down below and we secure
little bit on the top, little bit on the bottom, finish the top. Do not tighten it all the
way yet and let it a little loose so we can still move it around. We have one last adjustment,
make sure everything is nice and vertical.
