Great video! My kitchen doesn't have nearly enough outlets. Thank you!

[joelblauvelt]

Plrase tell me: Why woudn't you simply wire to downstream terminals of GFCI & protect the other receptacle?

[nahpungnome]

Thank you for this video. When we had our bathrooms remodeled, our contractor put GFCI outlets as required by the sink, but the circuit that it's on also has bathroom outlets on it (older home). Every time the bathroom GFCI triggered, all of our bedroom outlets would lose power because they hooked up the downstream to the load connectors. I've rewired my GFCI outlets this way and now triggering the bathroom outlets don't cause loss of power to our bedrooms.

Very informative video for a beginner. Thanks for the great communication.

[stetsonforsure]

Correct me if I’m wrong but you are not supposed to use 15a outlets on a 20a breaker.

[Lovetoflyeast]

question : can this connection goes first to none GFI plug and to a GFI plug ? thanks for the great video you know how to make it simple.

[garyczerkas]

Excellent video....this did not fix my issue with the load of the GFCI tripping my plug, but it is very well done.

[MaMa-qhdy]

Save the Wagos and just wire the line and load to the same side of the GFCI. There are 2 sets of lugs to accommodate that.

[WRod]

Bro just bumped into ur channel, thabk you so much....

[gonzonyc]

What's the reason for not putting the outlet onto the LOAD part of the GFCI

[tedgouldjr]

Well done my friend great presentation

[HungNguyen-sbyu]

I have an outlet in my bathroom, no GFCI. Can I add a GFCI using the wires from that outlet for a bidet? Thank you so much for your help.

[realreid]

This great information is very much appreciated 👍

[BuzzRetirementGarage]

My situation: Breaker to GFCI no ground wire. Line in....load out.... to next non-GFCI outlet. Outlet has power but shows open ground. Ok or nah?

[KLlife]

Romex pliers highly suggest you imvest in one instead of making box cutter cuts into the jacket potentially slicing up the conductor

[garintiger]

I have existing GFCI outlet in the patio. I would like to add another outlet in the patio using power source from existing GFCI. Do you recommend the new outlet to be another GFCI or regular (not protected) outlet? Thank you.

[cherylseaangel]

Hello, thank you for this video, it is exactly what I was looking for. In my garage I have a GFCI that is on the other side of the garage from the sink. Unfortunately for me the GFCI is the outlet closest to my Landscape Irrigation timer thus when it trips (and it has when I was out of the country) my landscaping & grass was almost dead from the Texas heat.

Would it be possible to put the GFCI & the other outlet in a double gang box?

I really would like to pull power from this GFCI and add another outlet in an upper cabinet so that I can plug in my battery chargers out of sight.

[rainmantube]

I installed a GFCI outlet and the little green LED light is on. So I assume it's supplying power. Yet when I plug in an appliance it gets now power. What does this mean?

[tamimorales]

Can it be wired the opposite way? Reg receptical as the main source then attach a gfi in the bathroom on adjacent wall?

[geraldrosella]

Is it OK to use 15-A outlet with a 20-A service?
