A ceiling fan requires a different outlet box than any of the three shown in this video. Make sure your project's box states, "rated for ceiling fan support". It will be stamped on the box itself.

Thanks Dave!

@@WorkinwithWolkon Everyone knows that a horizontal surface collect dust. When installing a cover plate, why not leave the slots in the screws vertical?

I'm actually looking into becoming an electrician right now I'd like to hear your story

@@CaedmonOS Well, this was in the late 90's, 1998 if I remember correctly. I will avoid naming companies...what with everyone being sue happy, and all. Let's just call them company A and company Z. I was hired by A and assigned to a decent fellow who was the site supervisor. After a short bit, he would have me do difficult tasks as he knew I could handle them where as the other two would have a harder time. This went on for 89 days, then the foreman called me into his office and told me they were going to have to let me go. Upon my inquiring why this was, he told me I just wasn't getting it. That I just wasn't cut out to be an electrician. I told him where he could shove it as I knew he was a bold-faced liar and I quit because I wasn't about to work for a company with such evil lying pricks, such as him. Turns out the company had a slew of contracts that were due and they hired a bunch to finish the jobs...then let them all go right before benefits would kick in. I then went to company Z and was assigned to a site supervisor who had anger issues. I was about 8 feet up on a ladder trying to install a bar box on an angled transition between wall and ceiling. I was having difficulty getting the bar to expand and, after asking why it was taking me so long, this site sup comes over and takes the box from me. He, too, has difficulty with it and moves over near the cardboard box with a bunch of fiberglass boxes, messes with this bar box a bit longer, then slams it down into the box of fiberglass ones, shattering a few. One piece that was about 3 inches in diameter and half an inch thick struck the wall inches away from my head. When I got back to the shop I told the foreman he needed to assign me to another site sup. He said there was no one else available. I told him what happened and said if he couldn't assign me to someone else, I was gone. To make a long story short (too late! See?), I walked out that day and had only been there about 1.5 months. Total of the two stints = approximately 4.5 months. I will say this...in that time I picked up QUITE a lot of knowledge and was easily able to wire my garage with about 10 more 2-gang outlets, including double switching one outlet to control a fan on one half and 2 shop lights on the other. Asked an electrician from a company, who was there for another job, if he'd take a look at my work. He said he wouldn't have done anything different and that I did a great job, even down to labeling each outlet as to what circuit it was on. My body's too broken, now, to be able to scramble around rafters like a monkey but, I do wish I'd tried another electrical company. Damn good money, in it, that's for sure! Good luck, to you. I hope you succeed where I failed.

Thanks for telling your story

yes apprentices this is not now to wire up, no safety protection present.

hopefully ones that have safety built in instead of show people how they can burn down the house.

Someone told me “yeah run the 120 and 277 in the same conduit, they can’t tell which is which.”

You do though, seeing as you took the time to specify select certain emojis.

@@lilstubthumb Your point being?

Good remarks to consider

Glad I could help, thanks!

Thanks!

I’m very glad to hear that! Thank you

The one thing not mentioned is that NEC Code now requires a 4 square box with 3 cables present.
