Install An Exterior Outlet In 10 Minutes

As an Amazon associate, I earn commissions on qualified sales. Thank you. 

Installing an outlet on the exterior of a home can have many uses: Christmas lights, chargers, inflatables. Here, we cut a hole into the side of the home and install a brand-new outlet using an all-included kit.

You made life very easy for the viewers. Keep up the good work!

Im an electrician and personally Im not a fan of the horizontal install with an extra exterior box. I know its easy because you just use the rear knockout and dont have to cutout a rectangle for the device box, and you dont have to worry about the ribs of the vinyl, but I think it makes it stick out too much and not as aesthetic.

If youre not a fan of those traditional vinyl blocks, Arlington sells outlet covers that is a vinyl cover and device box all in one, very convenient, and it has ridges that perfectly matches the siding

Why did you install a GFCI outlet down stream from a GFCI? Because it came with the kit?

Thank you for the great video and the tips on the horizontal install, you made it look so easy - I'm finally going to do it myself.

HEY. You got the cover upside down.
Shouldn't the cord slot be on the bottom so the rain doesn't get in.

Very helpful thank you for the video 😊

You don't need a second GFCI Receptacle on the Outside, just use the load terminals on the inside GFCI receptacle and put a weatherproof regular receptacle on the outside. Thanks, Russ, 29 years in the Electrical Trade

Why did you add them both to the line side?

[patrickkamer]

I want it! Thank you for the how to video

[matthewhauserman]

Doesn't it require conduit running to a junction box inside by code?

** I want it ** thanks for showing the video...

I want it (in case Jeff falls through)

Great video btw!

Nice work nice material. This is very helpful. However I don’t see the benefit of working with live outlet. I think we all should get in the habit of turning off the power.

I have a really nice exterior outlet. But it has standoffs of 1/8" or so. I am thinking silicone will do it.

Can you link the plastic wire strain relief you used? Great video!

I want to see one where the inside has drywall with insulation and the outside has stucco. I want to be able to not cut any dryall and do repair..😎

Firmly secured- as you spun the bottom screws free 😂

I was always told never put a gcfi. Outside
