Love those WAGO's !!! nice video. Recently installed some of the "plug mold" strip plugs. They are not as easy to wire as the duplex outlets. I wish I had used the duplex outlets.
Appreciate the video... well done and we’ll explained. Can you send a link to the follow-on video you mentioned at the end of this one? I could not find it. Cheers.
When using the 700 series metal wire mold does the circuit need to be grounded? I'm working with 60 year old wrap wire no ground just hot and neutral. I need 14/3 and 14/2 ran inside and I dont think I have enough space to leave the sheathing on. Thanks for the video
With wire mold you don't need the sheathing on the wire its inside the raceway. It mentions you need to ground the ground wire to the metal . Think it will still work with hot and neutral and no ground.
I have a 14 Romex wire coming out of the wall for under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. How do I safely feed the Romex into the side of a wiremold box. I need this because the wire is to short to reach the light.
I have 2 suggestions. If the wire is too short you can use the larger receptacle box and mar your wires in that box. Larger box more room for marring. If your wire is long enough hook up a normal size receptacle box and use wire mold channels to feed to the next wire mold receptacle. Just feed the wire thru channel and hook it in to side of wire mold. Look at 5:15 in my video.
Richard Seeker: received email notification but cant find it in comment below. Answer to your question: Yes I use bushings to prevent the wire from been cut.
The wire is located inside the metal channel of the wiremold. The old style metal wire housing was used to protect the wire inside from damage . Most wiring is located inside walls. The only thing you have to worry is the wires coming into the box, the sharp edge can cut into the wire so they have a connector to protect the wire.
Thanks Jim, excellent presentation! Now I can proceed with my patio wiremold project with confidence. Thank you!
Your welcome.
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
Your welcome.
Very informative and helpful. Thank you, for sharing.
Your welcome.
Excellent video and your attention to detail was really helpful. Thank you!
Thank you.
Thank you. I"m putting one in my RV. 1 1/2" thick walls, and conventional electrical outlet boxes are 3" deep.
Your welcome. Glad my video helped

Thanks. Yes the Wagos are my favorite.
Very helpful video. I hope you're okay three years later. Just a little exertion seems to really get you huffing and puffing.
Thank you. I since use a microphone for my videos. Used my phone before and it picks up my breathing.

Romex isn’t suppose to be run in some form of conduit like that risk of overheating. That’s why sheathing comes off.
Yes the sheathing is removed from the Romex
You can run more wiring that way.

Is non metallic safer for surface wiring? Less chance of getting shock?
