How to wire an outlet

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After the outlet is fully installed, return to the electrical panel and switch the circuit breaker back to the 'ON' position to restore power. Plug an outlet tester into the newly wired outlet. The tester should illuminate with green lights, indicating that the outlet is correctly wired and fully functional. This confirms that all connections are made properly and safely.

Goal: Verify the outlet is properly powered and wired.

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.
