How to Wire 2 Outlets In One Box | Wiring a Double Receptacle the Correct Way

In this video I show how to wire two outlets in one box also known as double duplexes or a quad receptacle. This type of work should only be done if you are familiar with electrical work and one should always seek guidance from their local code enforcement to make sure they are within the electrical standards.

I've been an electrician for 45 years. I am retired but I am mentoring a young man from our Church. Your videos are spot on for not just the beginner but for this old guy. A great refresher for me and a starting point for him. Thanks.

I pre-wired my outlets in a box out in the workshop for an attic installation using jumpers. I've done this before but something didn't seem right. I came inside and Googled: "how to wire a two gang outlet" and this video was at the top of the results. Now I have to undo and redo what I just did. It just makes sense.

I recently bought some fancy outlets that are temper resistant and have usb power ports on them. I had a two-gang receptacle they were going in. It already had power coming into and going out of the box. The problem? The cool new outlets only had one set of screws, and being good outlets, no punch-throughs. I'd only every wired using the terminals and all the diagrams I was seeing online were using jumpers. You can't jump with only one terminal for neutral and one for hot. Your video and these schmancy outlets requiring me to go find it have been the best education in proper wiring I've ever had. Thank you.

20 yr sparky. Excellent video. Love the fact you ran the wires first then installed. Only issue. You didnt put the outlets in the box 😊 best part. Watching videos for new ideas and techniques and refreshing.

Finally! I watched other videos about this process (🤦🏻‍♂they never got to the point) but your video was the one that explained it the best. Thank you for this upload.

For newbies - (B)lack to (B)rass, wh(ITE) to br(ITE) . Silly I know but along with righty tightly lefty Losey, it helped me avoid lots of issues.

This was a terrific help! I am wiring a large barn I built last year and have never actually wired any building prior to this. Your very simple to follow instructions made the 3 way switchiing very simple. I really appreciate your easy to understand process - much appreciated!

Thanks. Haven't done any wiring in 15 or 20 years, so this provided just the reminders I needed.

Thanks! Great help for someone born in the 1st half of the last century!

Dude, you have no idea of how many idiots online I've seen screw this up. You definately have the best video on all the blocks, very simple to follow. Please publish more!

Clear instructions, but with details like jumpers, adding clarity. Thanks for your effort.

This was a great refresher video for someone who does not do this type of work very often. Thank you! Good job!

[RobertMendietta]

Thank you I’m a jackass of all trades so I need all the help that I can get and your videos are simple and very helpful.😅

[Cookefan]

I like this guy. He’s really good at communicating and getting right to the point. This is the kind of channel that make paying for YouTube Premium worthwhile. Liked, subscribed and a buncha videos in the “watch later” slot.

This pigtail situation was perfect to install a double plug for my gaming set up. Best video ive watched on it. Thank brother.

[freddy]

Thank you for posting your Articulate and Thorough video!! Especially when you talked about adding a 4th pig tail wire for an additional outlet box daisy chained down the line. You gave the extra scenarios which give us everything we need to know to make a complete and safe electrical job. Like a real instructor. and this is what I needed to upgrade my wood shop.

[Dragontamerz]

Thank you, you did not prattle on, and you moved at a speed that I could follow easily. Thank you. Good job.

I’m a total rookie to electrical work. But I had a buddy give me a tip that helped me tremendously. He said remember your colors. Black and Gold go together. Silver and White together.
