How To Rough-In and Hook Up A Receptacle, Step By Step with Tips & Tricks!

Installing a receptacle during a rough in on wooden studs along with some tips and tricks towards time saving. I hope that this helps, if so please subscribe. Thanks

One thing I didn't mention is if you do need to add a couple washers in behind to get it flush like I said in the video, you can take off those tabs on the top and bottom and use those. It's convenient as when finishing the install they will be accessible to you. Hope that helps.

I used 14/2 for this example which is good for up to 15A but 12/2 wire would be needed for a 20A plug. The labelling of the wire refers to the wire size in AWG and the number of insulated conductors. So therefore if this wire had an insulated ground it would then be 14/3. Please check with you local codes to ensure you use the proper size for your area.
For added info as an FYI, Loomex and Romex are brand names from each side of the boarder for the same thing, officially "Non Metallic Cable" or NMD90.
