20A Electrical Outlet Wiring Help? Side vs Back Wiring?
For simplification, I am adding 3 20amp new outlets (OUTLET A, OUTLET B, OUTLET C)
Anything below sound wrong
All Hot(Black wires) go on brass screws (Right Side of outlet)
All Neutral(White wires) go on silver screws (Left Side of outlet)
Romex Hot & Neutral Path....
Electric Panel to top screws on Outlet A
Bottom screws on Outlet A to top screws on Outlet B
Bottom screws on Outlet B to top screws on Outlet C
Bottom screws on Outlet C empty.
Internal Outlets
I am using blue pvc single gang boxes so for the ground add ground pigtails to the ground screw on the outlet and twist pigtail, incoming and outgling ground together with green twistcap.
For Exterior Outlets I am using metal boxes. Should I pigtail the ground to the ground screw on the metal box or to the ground screw on the outlet?
Any problems, suggestions, etc?
thanks
Instead of daisy chaining the outlets the way you suggest, wire a pigtail for each of the conductors in the first 2 boxes. Connect the line in, the line out, and a 6" wire together with a wire nut. Then connect the loose end of that to the receptacle. In the third box, just connect your conductors to the receptacle. Your wiring is correct for which wires go on which screws. I would definitely connect a ground pigtail to the metal box. Hope this helps.
