Splice Electrical
How do I get electricity to my range vent or splice Electrical Wire?
Can I spice into a near by electrical outlet to run electricty to my new range vent? Is it difficult? Seems like it would not be, but I am looking for picutures or easy steps and list of materials I will need.
the wall outlet is not GCFI it is a 3 prong tho. It is on the wall very close to the area where the vent is not mounted. I need to know how to wire to the this type of outlet. Like is it gonna be black to black , white to white and ground to green ground when I open the plug up?
Yes you can but you have to be careful not to overload the circuit you are splicing into. Each circuit is on a specific sized breaker and will not carry more than the rating on the face of the breaker(i.e. 15, 20, etc.) Since you aren’t an electrician you will have no way to check this. So instead, find the nearest power source. Make sure it is for 120 volts (I’ll assume that is what your vent fan is) You can find this information on a data plate somewhere on the hood, it will usually list it as 120VAC or 120V. If this is what it says, then make sure the outlet you are going to splice into has 3 slots( 2 straight and 1 semi-round),these are your 120 Volt plugs, or if you use a Light Switch then use the wire on the top screw( this is usually the hot wire) The wiring colors will match (Black to black or Gold Screw, White to White or silver screw and copper or green to copper or green or to the green screw. Make sure the power is off when you do this!!!.Now keep in mind that if you are going to use an elctrical outlet that is on your kitchen counter top, it will be a GFCI, which means it is for the protection of people and will not handle the load of a motor, if the nearest plug has the test and reset switch on it you can use it but you need to attach your wires to the top set of screws by a pigtail( which is a small piece of wire that has one end under the Screw Terminal and the other end will connect to both of the wires in the box you are using by Wire Nut. i.e. the wire that was on the plug and the wire going to the vent) Hope all of this makes sense. If you have any doubts, or think you might need assistance doing the job, you are better to get a licensed contractor to help you. Any questions e-mail me and I’ll try to help. Good Luck and be careful!!!
