Final Testing and Safety Checks

What happens here

After all wiring is complete and both GFCI outlets and their covers are securely installed, it's time to safely restore power to the circuit at the main electrical panel. Once power is on, use a GFCI tester to confirm that each GFCI outlet is functioning correctly. Insert the tester into the outlet and press its 'TEST' button; the GFCI should trip (power should cut off). Then, press the 'RESET' button on the GFCI to restore power. Perform a final visual inspection of both installed outlets, ensuring they are tightly mounted, the conduit is secure, and all weather-protective covers are properly closed and sealed to prevent water ingress. The video shows the electrician walking away from the finished deck, indicating the job is complete and functional.

Goal: Verify the safe and correct operation of the newly installed GFCI outdoor outlets.
