REGARDING THE CONTROVERSY: The two sets of screws on a duplex receptacle weren’t put there as wire connectors; they are needed in case you want to split the two plugs on two different circuits. You can separate the two screws by removing the tab between them. However, code allows you to use them as wire connectors if you want. But it’s not required.

This was the easiest explaination ever. You can't mess anything up. Thank you so much for taking your time out to make this video. I just brought a house and they definitely skimmed on the outlets.

Throughly explained. Not too fast. Perfect for DIYers like myself with so many questions. Definitely following for more videos and tips! Thank you!

Super helpful! I'm adding to my basement (exposed studs behind wall and garage (exposes studs). Your tip about the Wago connectors was especially helpful.

Going to build a cargo trailer conversation to camper soon..and wanting to wire 120v shore power only for now..this is now something simple to do myself, thanks to you!

Just completed adding an outlet for my flatscreen behind the tv. Your video walked me right through it perfectly. I tested everything and it was perfect. Thank you

Very good example. Some may try to daisy chain this when inexperienced, very good explanation. Myself personally I wire nut wires under a wire nut with their pigtail.

Awesome video!!! This helps me a lot as I am going to finish a small room and just need a couple of outlets installed. Luckily the backside of both walls are exposed so easy peasy. Makes me feel confident now that I have to get it inspected. Well done!!

You are the father I've never had. Thank you so much for the information and savings .......... Not all heroes wear capes .

Thank you for these very helpful videos! I had a pro electrician install two 20 amp home runs from the house to the shed and I was able to finish the job myself thanks to your videos!!! My plugs and lights are on one 20 amp circuit and the other 20 amp has one dedicated plug for a window air conditioner. Thanks again!!!

Thank you for a straight to the point tutorial. You're a very good teacher/instructor. Greetings to you and your family.

Thank you for the tip. Grounding wire connectors were new to me. Thank you for the tip about using the tester. I do so all the time and, just yesterday, I was working on my dog porch. The panel was supposed to shut down 8 outlets, the outside light and the 4 LED ceiling lights. I found a 3 way switch was still hot. The breaker was mislabeled and the inside lights are powered from the adjacent room's lighting circuit. Also I was warned by my electrician to avoid quick connectors. He had a couple get hot and melt; he thought because the metal connection is so thin. If wires are twisted together, 3 three wires shouldn't overheat using a proper sized wire nut. Also, my house was built with the cheapest outlets, so I replaced them with Leviton's upgraded outlets. My other home center stopped stocking Leviton, but seemed to have similar. Those are both great, excepting the metal back plate is also a ground strip.. usually still better than the 39 cent variety. When the dog porch was completed, I had the contractor install the outlets. Somehow the hot wire rubbed against that metal back plate. I'm not sure why, but after a few years, when plugging something into that outlet, the hot would come into contact with ground, so always make sure all that extra wire is tucked away from the back of the outlet. In my case it was never enough spark to trip the GFI or breaker but, after 6 years, melted the insulation off the last 1 1/2 inches of the black wire.

OMG! Thank you. Simple, but when you don't know, have many doubts, and you just want to get it done it's frustrating. Without vids like yours... I'd be sunk. Thanks!

A perfect video! I watched it twice and was able to add a GFCI outlet under my kitchen sink! It was a bit of a pain cutting through the back of the cabinet, then drywall, and trying to strip wires with the disposal in the way while on my back, but it turned out perfectly. Next time I'll do a little more pre-planning! 😂 Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Great video! Of course the trick is always how you get the wires bent and back in the box. I'd like to see you do that. That is the one thing that is always challenging for me.

Chris, you are an exemplary instructor! Thank you! 😊

This is a perfect video. Very very simple. Didn't muddy it up with a bunch of nonsense. This probably covers 99% of what people need. Just subscribed. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for teaching us. Very well explained and good vibes. Thanks

Very good video. Regarding the overheat/over current from fastening both hots to the gold screw. Because of the shunt between the gold screws/post electrically they are the same whether individually attached or using the wago. Personally I like the wago far above screwing down to the post. Thanks

Hi friend your videos are truly awesome, I do renovation here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. And I been learning lots of your video. God bless my friend, gir show tge way we all understand. Take care Dad. 😊

Super helpful and simple instructions! Thank you so much!!

Very clear and concise video.. thank you so much !

Thank you for your videos as they definitely help the husband at home complete some simple diy projects. I have what may be a stupid question.. i’ve always avoided doing electrical because it can be very unforgiving. But I’m learning a lot more and becoming a little more comfortable. I am adding a second outlet using an existing outlet. My question is, what type of wire do I use? As I went to a hardware store to pick some up I found out there are many many different kinds. So as I said, I am new to this, so bear with me lol. Thank you for all your help.

Great job explaining it to a newbie like me. Thank you Dad.

Thanks Dad!!! ❤

I just added an outlet, switch and light in a closet thanks to your videos! Great stuff! THANK YOU!

What a great explanation. Clear, concise. It's a gift to be able to do that. Thank you.

Very easy to follow what you are doing. Thanks

This is the best presentation. Thank you!

Appreciate that unc, that was well explained and very detailed. I’m glad I made it to this video🤝

Awesome. Thank you. I was looking for the ground connection part. It's been many videos to find this. I figured it must be a wire nut.

We'll done for us weekend electricians. Thank you!!!

Many thanks for your videos. I have watched several. They are extremely helpful. Do you have a video for a GFCI Receptacle installation with other outlets in-line? Thanks, again.

Thanks for keeping it simple and clear. Enjoyed the explanation as to why as well. A fan.

Perfection! You’re even using the exact boxes and Wago lever devices I have. Thanks ^_^

Great explanation with real wires and real outlets. Very helpful.

I ordered a box of the ground wire nuts, never though of that what you pointed out, I would once in a while pigtail wire. Now I know more and make it easy to wire. I do use the wago got away from using wire nuts. Ill do this when wiring my new BBQ shed this spring

OMG!!There, you said it finally here. YESSSSSS. It is the right way to wire it. Pigtail!!! Excellent work! Maybe an honest electrician with integrity have advised you to do it this way. Thank you

Your video was so basic and simple to follow not like others, thanks

Great instructional bud. Thank you!

Thanks for such a very well explained video sir, i need dummie proof videos when it comes to electrical and you've nailed it, thank you once again and keep it up!

So helpful. Annnnnd since you helped me scrutinize the details, I must tell you that I noticed at 5:34 that you have the black wire wrapped around the brass screw COUNTERclockwise. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't made a big point of it earlier in the video. Proof of good teaching! ;-)

Thank you for thoroughly explaining it and dumbing it down to my level.

Remodeling our RV and this video was just what I was looking for. Thanks

Nice! Could you also use the wego connector for the ground instead of the green nut?

Great presentation,thank you !

Thank you. This is exactly the video I was looking for. I hope you upload more videos😢

Thank you. You made it so simple 👏🏾

Thank you so much, this video will end up saving me lots of money. Perfect explanation of how to DIY new plug.

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you

well done.. most everyone will gain from this.. my case however,my uncle was great electrician.. trained by military.. owned his own company as electrical contractor... made a very good life after serving his country.. he always train his workers and me to always work with power on.. as he said,"more people get hurt from dead wires than from live... you kill power and if not in place where you can lock out tag out... somebody flips switch back on and POW.. youget zapped.. but if you leave power on you know to be more careful and not touch both wires at same time...he lived into his 90's..I'm in my 70's now and never had any zapps due to me thinking wires dead and someone flipped switch.. I always work with live wires BUT I am very careful and take extra time to go slow and safe..

Simple straight forward how to, thank you

Great job. House wiring has always been a bit intimidating. Im subscribing

Your my got to for wiring ! Greatly appreciate your informational videos !! TWO THUMBS UP ! And a Star !

Well explained...thanks for the tutorial.

Great demonstration. It was very straightforward

This video was outstanding. thank you,

Thank you you were extremely helpfull am going to do that today

Very informative video. Just had a question. Could you have created a pigtail for the ground wire just like you did for the black and white wires using one of those connectors? Or was there a reason you didn't? Thank you very much for your time and expertise.

Thank you, I ordered both items to put in a plug this weekend!

Thank you so much for your videos I'm no longer in the dark or in the dog house, LOL. But in all reality your videos are explained in a way that must people not in the electrical field can perform minor jobs.

Amazing video and very well explained! You just gained a new follower!

Yes, thank you,, very helpful video. Been a carpenter all my life, but never messed with electrical. I had "pro's" upgrade house to breakers, a ran a few new circuits. But, had an after thought, and want to add another outlet up higher on the wall, for a wall mount tv. Still have one side of the drywall off, so much easier now, than later! My question is if it is ok/safe to add another outlet. I wish I could send a pic, ha!, but I believe this new "tv" outlet would be the 3rd outlet on this new circuit. PS: the pigtail thing went by a bit quick for me, but think I got it after watching it a few times, 😆 I hope I can find those little connectors. I ass-ume, it doesn't matter in what "order" the source/hot wire, and the out going (2nd) black wire go into the connector? And then the 3rd "pigtail" wire(s) goes to source outlet. Thanks again!

Great video with much needed information,GOD BLESS

Thank you! Very helpful & informative. Blessings

Very good explained. Clear video 👍

Thank you!! All clear

This man knows how to teach! thanks so much for your videos

Excellent! Your video will make the job much easier!

Great info. The process and connectors would be the same if instead of an outlet I was added a light- correct?

This is the video I was looking for. 🎉thank You Sir.

Excellent video, thank you for making this!

New follower, exactly the knowledge I was looking for.

This really made me happy bc I did it and it and got it to work for my grandpa I’m only 13 and I put in a new outlet in less then an hour he was happy and so was I

Thankyou ,You explain so simple and easy

Good video, thank you. How will you do it if the outlet has already 2 black wires, 2 whites and 2 grounds and you need to add another outlet. Do you pigtal one of the black, white and ground wires?

Thanks for the video. I have a question. Can I use wego 221 lever nuts to create pick tial..till... instead of green ground wire connectors?

Thanks Dad, good advice.

Great video clear and to the point !! Thanks

yoooou are the best, thank you so much for making such a straightforward and easy to follow tutorial!

Thank you for your video! I was able to get some new outlets in our garage 👍😎

Great video. Exactly what I needed to see. Love the wago

I love and use Wago all the time! I love them!

Great Video very helpful! when wiring multiple outlets on a run, do you want to make a pigtail for each outlet

This video is great! Thank you!

Thank you 💯

Hi! Great video. Wondering what you would do it you were adding an outlet to another outlet that was already in a chain. I am looking to tap an interior outlet to add an exterior outlet on the other side of the wall.

Great info! What if you want to add an outlet on either side of an existing outlet, making a T more or less. We've got a single line coming down into our garage/ workshop and I'd like to space a couple outlets for charging our growing list of electric tool batteries. Is that just a wire connector with more "out" tabs?

I have a light switch that turns my light off and a power outlet next to it. How would I fix this so the outlet remains on and the light turns off and on with the switch? Great content!!! This is my favorite new UKposts channel.

so quick question, everyone i know and everything i have ever been taught says it’s fine putting the two blacks on the receptacle and two white wires on both screws. if it will create heat on the receptacle then it makes since those connections your using will create heat there. either way you look at it. they both become a distribution center for lack of better terms.

thanks so much for your video! can i “pigtail” the ground wire same way you did the hot wire or must ground wires be “bonded”?

Thanks. Love how you explain things.

Very nice explanation. Now I understand more than I ever did before. Thank you. I'M SUBSCRIBING 😊

Excellent the Info I was looking for thanks for all you do!!!!

Great video. May I please ask a question. I have an indoor living outlet I want to add an outdoor outlet, can I use the indoor outlet and if so, what do I need for outdoor outlet covered patio?

excellent lesson, easy understandable

How many of these can you link together safely? Thank you for the video. Very straightforward and easy to follow.

Excellent explanation. You are God sent.

Great video. Thanks. I would like to add an outlet from one bedroom in my trailer home to a porch using the type of wire shown in this video. My question is, do I need to run the cable through a piece of conduit PVC pipe? The wall is only 4 inches thick.

Thank you for the video..I’m adding a fireplace in the wall and adding a extra outlet for it my question is to get the right wire that I need ?
