Next, pull the wires you want to splice through the clamps so the exposed ends are inside the junction box. Pull them far enough in so the clamp closes over the wire casing. At that point, you can twist the wires together with their counterparts-- make sure you match colors and twist ...
Above I've removed the jacket from 14-3 NMB electrical wire. The ground wire is already bare but I'll need to remove insulation from the black, red, and white conductors before they can be connected to a device or to a splice. Excerpting from HOW to CONNECT WIRES to a RECEPTACLE or...
You may find it necessary to connect, or splice, an aluminum wire to a copper wire when installing a new circuit or replacing an electric furnace. Take special care when making this type of splice, as an improper copper-to aluminum-splice can become unstable over time, according to certified...

Even walls that don’t have visible signs of electric might be concealing wiring traveling between floors or around the room. You can use an A/C voltage detector to detect hidden electric in walls. Remember! It is illegal to splice electrical wires outside of a junction box that is accessib...
Conductor splice Distribution tie Formed wire insulator tie Distribution tie is used as an alternative for armor rods as it has a tie wire and encased with an insulator. A distribution tie is installed with a pad when used on the naked conductor. Its main purpose is to offer protection agains...
The Black Wire - Power Out wiring attaches to the other switch screw terminal The White Neutral wires splice together The ground wires splice together and bond to the switch and the box NOTE: Switched 'White' wires are shown in a different wiring diagram ...
At times, your cooling fan stops working because a sensor has gone bad, but the fan works just fine. A way to get around this situation is to wire in an on and off switch. This switch works by eliminating the ground connection when it is switched "off" a
This guide provides instructions on how to wire a 4-way light switch, including replacing a 4-way switch and wiring a new 4-way switch into a set of two 3-way switches. Diagrams are also provided.
