Installing 2 -20 AMP Outlets in a Detach Garage From SCRATCH!

What happens here

The electrician extends the circuit from the "load" side of the first GFCI outlet to the second outlet location, running the MC cable cleanly above the garage door and across the wall. He installs the second metal electrical box and wires the second GFCI outlet to it, ensuring proper grounding. Finally, he uses a Klein Tools RT250 GFCI Receptacle Tester to verify that both outlets are receiving 120 volts and that their GFCI protection is functioning correctly, confirming a safe and operational installation.

Goal: Install the final outlet, ensure all connections are secure, and verify the circuit's functionality and safety.

What they say

Hide

two wires coming out of it, as you can see, going to the second outlet. And then the other side of the wall is our two outlets. Here's our one outlet. We're just checking. We got 120. Yep. 120 volts. That makes us happy. Yep. Okay. 120. Yes. Every outlet, guys, is 120 volts. And we just finished. Customer is satisfied. And that's what a day looks like. Andy the Sparky. See you in the next one. Peace.
