What happens here

Once the outlet and extender assembly is firmly secured and flush with the wall surface, attach the electrical outlet cover plate. Use the cover plate's small mounting screw to fasten it securely to the outlet. Finally, return to your electrical panel and switch the circuit breaker back on to restore power to the outlet. The outlet should now be properly extended and ready for use.

Goal: Complete the installation and make the outlet ready for use

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — To install the cover plate screw (if applicable)
  • Electrical Breaker Panel — To restore power to the circuit
  • Electrical Outlet Cover Plate — To cover the electrical outlet and box for safety and aesthetics

What they say

Hide

screws. If they're too long, take your wire strippers, thread it in, cut, screw, cover plate. This outlet's good to go. Now our outlet isn't buried in the wall, and it sits where it should. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
