Install light fixture to 6 wire?

usually you segregate them. all whites together all blacks together all non-coated copper wires and/or green coated wires together use wire nuts to connect above-mentioned wires together


How do you use wire nuts?

First twist together the wires to be joined. For larger wire use lineman's pliers to apply twist. Make the twist clockwise. Then twist on the wirenut clockwise on the wires. Wirenuts are rated as to how many wires of a certain size they can hold but in general twist by hand until you can twist no more and then about 1/2 twist with pliers. If the wirenut does not get tight it is too big or internal metal portion could be clogged in some way.


How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?

If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.


When connecting two wires can glue be used and still have an electrical current pass through the wires?

You would have to be crazy to do this. Go to your local hardware store and buy connectors made for the purpose. Only make connections inside an electric box, not just at random places in a cable. Make sure to turn off power before doing this. Both wire nuts and push type connectors are available in any hardware store. If wires are lower current in an appliance or devise you may be able to solder and tape or use heat shrink tubing.

Do wire nuts have to be inside junction box when installing porch lights?

The wire nuts do not have to be inside the junction box. They must, however, be as tight as possible to keep moisture from inside the light fixture.

How do you split one circuit into two branch loads within a junction box?

You should have black (hot), white (neutral) and bare wire (ground) coming into junction box. The two circuits leaving the box should use the same size wire which should be sized for the branch breaker and you just use a wire-nut to connect all black wires together, another wire-nut to connect all white wires and a third wire-nut to connect together all ground wires. Since you are splitting into two branches, all wire-nuts should have three wires of the same color.

How do you jump wires off three way switch?

Like any other switch: you fasten a pigtail to the screw terminal and use wire nuts to connect all other wires to the other end of the pigtail. Why you would ever want to do that in a 3-way would be a head-scratcher for a different question.

Wire nuts disable electrical connection?

Wire nuts don't disable an electrical connection you have to kill the power for that. What they do is isolate the wires so that the positive and negative wires don't touch and protect you from a bear electrical connection.
