Receptacle Installation

The approval of your rough-in wiring sets the stage for you to complete your wiring project. You now need to install receptacles, lighting, and other outlets to the electrical boxes that you attached to different locations in the house.

But before we dive into the details of receptacle installation, let us have a brief overview of the architecture and wiring structure of a receptacle. One of the conspicuous features of a receptacle is the positioning of its ground pin at the bottom, rather than the top. The brass-colored hot terminal, the silver-colored neutral terminal, and the green-colored ground terminal are the other highlight features of the architecture of a receptacle. The coloring makes it easier for you to attach the different wires to their respective terminals. This helps you avoid the short circuit risks associated with the wrong installation of service line wires to the receptacle terminals. Terminal screws are used to hold the wires firmly in place.
