How do I remove an unwanted outlet? It has one black and one white wire in it.

You will have to determine where the receptacle feeds from first.If the wire is in conduit,pull the wire out back to that point.If it is a cable (romex ,bx mc,etc)and cant be accessed for removal,disconnect the wire from where it feeds from and cut it loose.Remove as much of the abandoned wiring as you can.

A few questions about wiring a basement.

M

mimimimi on Oct 13, 2002

I'm finishing my basement. I have just finished framing and now begin to do wiring and I need your help. 1. Does the code require all outlets in a basement be 20 amp? 2. 20 amp outlets require a 20 amp circuit breaker and 12/2 wire? 3. Does the code require that the entire bathroom in the basement (e.g., vent fan motor, vanity light, receptacle, switch, ceiling light) be on a separate circuit? (since the bathroom and laundry room share a common partition wall, I wonder if I can connect 2 20 amp GFCI receptacles in the laundry room to the circuit of the bathroom?) 4. Are all of the receptacles connected directly or indirectly to the load side of a GFCI receptacle meet the requirement of a FGCI protected receptacle? In other words, I need to install only one GFCI receptacle in a single circuit and have all other receptacles in the circuit met the requirement of "GFCI protected" receptacle? Thank you very much.Read More

When you use a disconect switch to isolate the system for hooking generater on to premisis wiring (single phase) do they use a 2 pole switch or a 3 pole and disconnect the neutral also. Seems to me I saw one and it look like a double pole double thro. Just curious, was thinking abut it from the generator post.Read More
