Hi I'm Mark Sullivan for Expert Village. Today we are going to learn how to install a ceiling
fan in your home. The next step is to wire the ceiling fan. We do now have the fan hung,
here is the bracket, securely screwed into wood above the sheet rock. The fan ball is
hanging in the bracket and it looks good. So the next step is to hook the wiring; the
white wire would go with the white wire coming out of the ceiling. So we are going to go
ahead and give ourselves a little bit of extra and then we are going to cut our fan wire.
Then these are diagonals or wire cutters. Then we can very carefully, go around in a
circle with this and then you can pull off the wire insulation like that. So this white
wire and this white wire are the neutral wires that we would connect this white wire to this
one. What we simply do is take the wire nut off of the existing wire. I'm going to trim
this just a little bit. Something like that and then we simply lay this wire next to this
one. They are laying next to each other just like that you take your wire nut and put it
on like that. Then the threads inside the wire nut would twist the wire together and
you tighten this up pretty good. Okay that has about 5 pounds of torch on it so that
is pretty tight. So there we now have our neutral wire connect to our fan neutral wire
with a wire nut.
