  • Pancake boxes ARE NOT rated for ceiling fans. Plus code violation. Romex going through a block wall w/o protection. Why don't you strip your wires before going into the box?

  • @Megawatts37 Here is a portion of the spec sheet for the boxes I used.They are Crouise-hindes brand--

    "CEILING FAN BOXES AND SUPPORTS–

    CUBIC INCH CAPACITY (SEE BELOW)

    UL LISTED

    Weight Limits: TP261 – 35 lbs. max. for fans, 50 lbs. max. for fixture. TP301 – Fan is supported independent of outlet box, mounting screws

    go through box and into joist. Box will support fans up to 70 lbs. and fixtures up to 90 lbs. TP275 – 70 lbs, max. for fans, 90 lbs.

    max for fixtures".

  • @Megawatts37 I am not sure as to why on stripping romex first,never taught that from any one. Romex/block I will stuff with insulation and expandable foam.

  • @Megawatts37 if you strip wire first ,dont it make it harder to enter a box. an how do you lable your romex if no sheeting. do you make up your wire to before entering the box. if not why take the time to strip them.. lol

  • @sparkyUonline a TP261 is a 5/8 pancake box. with 8 32.. whats wrong with that

  • sparky,nice clean looking job,i was just wondering why you dont leave 6 inches of free conductor out side of the device box in a question mark or loop shape ? were taught this is school in canada, so if the drywaller nicks a conductor you can just pull new conductor into the box. thanks for all the great vids

  • Nice job, Sparky! Looks like wicked fun for me. I've always wanted to redo an old fixer upper house; especially the wiring. I have learned so many new tricks of the trade from watching you. Keep it up! If only it was legal for a 16 year old to get a license!

  • @jjlwis #1 awg (american wire gage) is smaller than kcmil aka MCM which starts at 250 MCM
