Under Cabinet Outlets, Part 3: Kitchen electrical plugs and outlets can be unsightly, but they don't have to be! Follow along as we show you how to install an under cabinet power strip that is hidden from view. Remodel your kitchen with a CLEAN look!
NOTE: Local code inspections and enforcement DO vary from location to location, and are all based on the National Electrical Code (NEC). As with all codes/regulations there ARE “gray” areas left open to local interpretation. Everyone’s project is different, so always consult your licensed electrician and local City Code Enforcement (if applicable).

What wire mold model are you using

hi Brian, in Video 1 I laid out all the materials. I used a standard 4' power strip from Harbor Freight - cut down to size for each location. 👍

You re-fabbed a power strip from harbor freight? Now I know this wasn't ever inspected. You re-purposed something that was never intended to accept hard wiring. And it's harbor freight to boot? Worst quality you can buy........you should just delete these videos.

So many violations

@myoldhousefix Жыл бұрын

no exposed wire, 12ga wire for kitchen circuits, strain relief, and GFCI protected. Met the NEC and inspection at time of installation.

@@myoldhousefix there is no possible way that was inspected. 1. What you call a "strain relief" is a romex connector, and is installed backwards, which is a violation. 2. It's a violation to solder those connections, connections shall be either mechanically secured by twisting, or via mechanical pressure by either clamping or lug type connections. 3. The previous video showed an EMT connector as your pass through which would have been a violation and I'm guessing the only reason you didn't follow through with it is because it was too cumbersome. I'm not trying to be rude, but when people are telling "great job" that means people are using your work as a suitable baseline for their projects. You're spreading very bad information that can result in property damage and god forbid loss of life. There's a reason electrical work requires a license. Absolutely no one that knows what even poor work looks like, would think this is acceptable in any way. I'm sorry my man but that's the truth.

@@geminye79 I hear ya on that. My electrician and inspection stated that's its a "gray" area under the NEC and is still considered an "accessory appliance" - whether it's plugged in or hardwired...and therefore met code. Maybe they missed something at the time, buts thats the guidance I received. Thats why I state that local codes amd guidance may vary.
