Hi everyone! This video shows the way how I wired and hung ceiling fans for an exterior project. Two fans were wired and hung on ceiling joists outside of the home. If you are unfamiliar with electrical work please contact an electrician! This video is for an idea that you may have for your house and shows the steps ad how simple this project is! Thanks for watching and please don't forget to subscribe!!!
** I referred to some material as "AS I TALKED ABOUT BEFORE". Please see the "How to add exterior outlets" for my references. **
Thanks again for taking the time! Cheers!!!

*Great unit that’s easy to install and use. It’s relatively quiet compared to window units and **Fastly.Cool** , and it cools down our whole living room, side room and bathroom; which is a large space for any unit to cool.*
You are right. There are multiple ways to do it and this is your way. I think it looks great man. Great video
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. czcams.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
Thanks for sharing. I'm not a certified electrician by trade, but by experience. I'm certain you have read many negative comments -- and some comments appear to be from folks who actually never did this level of install and are quick to criticize you.
Here are a few things I would have done differently ensuring I meet code requirements and to make my job easier: 1) I would use THHN through the conduits; 2) I think this is where you planned things wrong: The conduits could have run parallel to the joists. Where you have the junction box, I would have replaced the junction box that comes with two 1/2 inch perforated cutout outlets. Run the conduits from there above the junction box through the ceiling joists next to the edge of the wall then you can run the long conduit parallel to the joist then add another 90 degrees for the ceiling fan brace box. This way, no electrical wires from the ceiling fan brace box will be exposed; 3) Ensure you install an outdoor-rated fan; and 4) I would ensure enough cable length is left for termination.
Hope this helps on your next project.
19:03 I like the chair big homie is sitting in, thats the Harbor Freight camping chair.. i got the same one, dude looks like my boy Jesse who lived around the corner from me and used to fade us up with the haircuts.. He's the supervisor on this job.
can I use the same method and go underground to have lighting and a few outlets for a detached patio?
Great video 👍
Great work, thank you!
i gotta decide if I want to get pull chains or ones with remotes. I'll need 4 fans and should be able to use one remote for all 4 fans ( same brand) but turn each on as I want and not all at the same time. I bought one before that had a 3 spd switch and went through 2 switches I believe.
Good example of what not to do. If you don't know what your doing call a electrician . Way too many code / safety violations.
Yeah, apparently Florida doesn't have electrical inspections?
I was over this video as soon as I say the grey condiut
I Saw the Grey conduit and then he cut it with that shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but still i decided to give him a break but then he cut the 14/3 short 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a guy. He drilled the jb box
I know the videos 6 years old but I've been using Wago connectors and they make it sooo much easier than wire nuts.
I just rather run emt and run connection into my sub panel dedicated 15amp breaker, but good job 👏 bro
I'm curious why you didnt use a saddle box that screws straight into the stud or a pancake box?
I'm thinking about either running a 2x8 piece perpendicular to the joist as blocking or turning it where the flat (face) of it sides even to give more surface area
Very informative video. Can’t wait to do one.
We have a very small patio. An electrician attached a box to the center of that patio ceiling, and it was exactly on that wooden stud. He also attached there a small box (Steel), which is sitting on a couple of screws. His idea was that because it is attached to the sturdy wood it will support the fan. I doubt that box is sufficient for the heavy fan. I could change the box, but my question is how to attach any box to that stud? Maybe with some braces (going around that stud), if there is not much space for that thick rod on which the box is sitting. Or the box for the heavy fan (which is 48 in Havana, Hampton Beach) should be located between the studs only, so you can install the supporting rod? Thank you for the film.
I have 2 outside lights under my balcony and just bought 2 of the Costco hunter 54" outdoor fans with remote on sale . My question is there's only one switch to turn on the lights how would I go about turning on the fan or lights at the same times or just the fan with only one switch that's on the inside of my sliding door don't I need to have two switches one for just the light and one for fan or can I just use the remote ?
Hi Dj Ohmarty! If I'm understanding the question correctly, you have 2 fans and want to power them off of one switch... that would be exactly what this video shows. The switch that was inside of this house was only using one switch that was originally for the outside light. The box that made the conduit go into two separate directions towards each fan was where you have to split the wires as the power will continue to both fans. All you need is one switch for the wires to power both fans. That hot wire will be your power source to both.... I really hope I was able to answer your question....
im doing in similar area, were u using 3/4 or 1/2 conduit?
Duuude, you have RAM-MAN as your assistant?!
Fuggin Rad!
Great demo but id have used those PVC cutters that ratchet in as you squeeze the handle or a miter saw and clean off any burs.
I'm thinking bout putting an outdoor fan on my back deck and i wana see how much of a pain it is first.
I do have an outdoor light like you did so I could remove it and tap into that power source.
I have a switch which is for my the light of my back yard i am wanting to install a ceiling fan with out a light but my question is am i going to have to have my back light on when ever i want to turn on the ceiling fan o what do i need to do?
Same question I have. Did you figure it out?
Did u use uf wire? Is it permitted?
Why didn't you cover the PVC piping with wood covering in the end?
Need advice on ceiling fans
Better to get outdoor rated ceiling fans. Home Decorators Collection Merwry is not rated for outdoor use and can void a warranty if you install them outdoors. Blades are plastic so they wouldn’t warp from humidity, but some other parts can rust.
Why would you run conduit just to have exposed romex at the fan boxes?
I least give him credits for the wires joint. 🤣
can i use 12/2 wires for the ceiling fan
and how do you put it on metal patio cover
Yes you can use 12/2 but better if you use a 14/3 and have separate the light from the fan that’s the right way to wire a CF
A battery drill works , if you have s good spade
If a outdoor fan is exposed to power washing water would this harm fan.
Aside from the issues that others have pointed out, you have voided the UL listing on the fan box as well as the support bar by drilling the hole larger and altering the product when not explicitly allowed by manufacturers instructions. Not to mention drilling the support out and weakening the structure could be a liability and safety issue, especially when supporting a fan. The product warranty was also voided when it was drilled. Finally, the conductor passing through the bored hole without any bushing is a possible violation of National Electric Code.
Woopty doo
This a great tutorial, but I wish he had a cameraman that could zoom in while he’s working. For instance at the beginning I can’t see what he’s talking about regarding the box.
Todd Schofield this is wrong !! No a good tutorial
should of used EMT for outdoor use. plastic is primarily used for underground runs.

Your camera is too far from the box, can't see enough detail. Put the camera closer.
second that! Way too far to see what he is doing.
WARNING!!! Wire method conduit is fine but installing in Non-metallic-sheath cable (Romex) inside conduit is a violation to inspectors... if they see this they will tell you to take it off...
No...no it's not. Running NM-B cable inside conduit is not a violation. Please stop spreading misinformation. diy.stackexchange.com/questions/31149/can-romex-nm-b-be-run-through-conduit
@@glasshalfempty1984 It's probably up to the AHJ. The link you reference implies only where NM is going to be subject to damaged, if he would have drilled through floor 6 inches or more, for example. But this is a highly debated subject regardless of interpretation. However, the fact this is being installed in a damp location and violates the NM application/ article 334.12 (B) 4. The appropriate cable or wire should have been used, not NM.
Whould be appropriate to run 12 too instead of 14
I hope that tio Ruben house doesn't get fire.
Sir you shouldn't be playing with electricity when clearly you don't know
O wow so putting more load into a compromise 120 volt circuit ????? Using PVC for runway ?? (Wrong) pvc is for underground only ! Romex wire inside a pvc ??? ( wrong ) this is the no no no video !!
I have an idea 💡 How about you shut the FUCK UP and show us your ways Mr. PERFECT!!
Show me in the NEC where it says PVC is only permitted for underground use.
Those are not outdoor fans.
Conduit is overkill...just run UF wire and make your taps up in each fan box...
I've never seen the covers of metal boxes used like that with the pipe..! How are you supposed to access the box later..?
When you cut the wire it looks like you cut it at just three inches..! REAL electricians cut at least 6 inches...
This video is a joke...
Conduit should have individual wires, not Romex cable.
Please stop spreading misinformation. It is perfectly fine to use NM-B inside conduit. Although THHN/THWN would be easier to work with, NM-B is fine. diy.stackexchange.com/questions/31149/can-romex-nm-b-be-run-through-conduit
You can put Romex in conduit.
The title of your video is incorrect. The part about hooking the ceiling fan up is what people wanted
never put romex in a pipe THHN only
Conduit??? Sorry homie you use pvc under ground pipe for your ceiling fan 😆😂😂😂😂 o yes one more thing Romex into pvc😶!#?"?!#
Come on guys. Never drill holes in horizontal load bearing rafters or trusses. You literally just weakened the entire structure. Especially on runs that long. In my opinion. You have no idea what you are doing. And making this video people will believe that you do and that can be dangerous for that are unaware. And your electrical is wrong too.

THAT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH... Please call an electrician when you need electrical work done
absolute garbage
Code does not allow Romex in conduit in damp or wet locations.
