Installing an Outlet… For a Toilet Seat?!

Installing a new power outlet right and protected is crucial for… safety of course! And even better is the future heated seat warm water toilet seat… hopefully!

Below are my Super Patrons with support to the extreme!

The brace falling out of position over and over was the most real mood I've had watching one of these.

As an electrician, it's not often that we get to see an electrical engineer actually do electrician things. It was quite refreshing to see an engineer feel our pain...well done tho :)

Y’all complain about studs but we have solid concrete walls 💀

8:17 this has to be the most Mehdi method there is of testing if it's safe to touch or not

[TheStrykerProject]

Mehdi not only showed that a) projects like this are possible, and b) that they are, indeed, awkward and difficult, but he showed you can do most of it with ONE HAND! 🤯

Just installed one of those non-electric bidet seats at my place. It's a simpler version than others but feels more reliable. No electricity needed – it hooks right up to the hot/cold water from the basin. Only cost me 30€ and it's perfect for a rental. Depending on your setup, you might not even need to do major work, just attach the hoses. Got it ready in just a few minutes. Super straightforward and efficient.

this reminds me of my grandmas house that was built in like the late 70s and there was an outlet right next to the sink ON THE COUNTER. for "convenience" but thankfully she had someone remove it a few years back

Next do an in-line 220V electric heater next to the shower head! It’s those extra tingles with the warm water that really get you moving in the morning.

[gradesam]

it's amazing that if you're an electrical engineer you can just spawn power sockets for your convenience.

[akarigoshihime]

You inspired me to go into the electrical trade. Went to school and everything. You still teach me new things and i love it. Your videos are fun and educational while being a clear example of what not to do at many times. I love your content and hope you have fun making these videos

[talalaziz]

this man is the most funniest teacher I have ever seen. This man has to fricking turn off the full power of his room, get third degree burns, almost dying, almost losing his vision, almost demolishing his house, LIKE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. You are the main reason I have an inspiration to use ELECTRICITY and hopefully not get eviscerated by the cables. Thank you...

I think that ElectroBoom did a pretty good job. Reto-fitting electrical wiring can be a pain in the ars.

[Cametek.CamelliaOfficial]

As one of Japanese ElectroBoom watchers, I appreciate your accurate compliment towards our toilet shower (washlet) system. I'm glad you like it

[colinstu]

Can't use AC/MC with plastic boxes like that. You could mount a junction box in the cabinet that takes the MC, and NM-B from the back-side that feeds up wall and into plastic box properly. Also those are the wrong size one-hole straps, need 3/8" MC straps. 13:05 you bought the right box, but yeah hole a lil too big, but what you need to use there are two "madison straps", which are flat metal straps that you insert and then bend, which then rigidly holds the old-work-box in place against the drywall. no need for screws or extra ears.

[cosinusjay]

Having an outlet right next to the toilet would be a dream. Imagine the new possibilities! Watching Mehdi while charging your phone!

[avennon]

I'm studying electrical right now and I love watching you explain everything as if you have no idea whats going on, then doing safely dangerous things to teach. I wish my teachers could do funny stuff like this in the shop but I'm sure insurance would kill them before the electricity.

[goatah]

Hey Mehdi! Thanks for another diy type video, I like them because you have a tendency to show a realistic experience.

[its_captain_aardvark]

Hey Electroboom, I just want to thank you because your videos have actually helped me in physics class. Your explanation of diodes, capacitors and resistors and such. It actually helped me alot. Thank you Electroboom!

[grbansen]

Other than grounding the boxes properly you should have used an "anti-short" on both ends of the cable. It's red and made of plastic that protects the wires from the metal sheathing.
Other wise good job.
