Once all wires are securely connected to the outlet, carefully fold the wires and the outlet back into the electrical box. Be gentle to avoid bending or damaging any connections. Secure the outlet to the electrical box by screwing it into place using the mounting screws provided. After the outlet is mounted, attach the decorative faceplate over it.

Goal: Mount the wired outlet and cover it with the faceplate.

neutral, and that's going to go to my silver. I'm going to tighten this screw. Finally, I'm going to do my hot wire. My hot wire goes to my brass. Once you got that looped, tighten it down. Neatly put your wires in your box. Screw these two into your box. Next, put your outlet cover on. Re-energize your breaker. Put a tester on it. Our tester is glowing green. We can see that the outlet is correct. Anyways, I'm going to work on the garage today. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
