1. 12 TIPS FOR EASIER HOME CABLE WIRE INSTALLATION PERFECTANGLETV

2. UNCOIL CABLE WITHOUT KINKS Pulling plastic-sheathed cable through holes in the framing is a lot easier if you straighten the cable out first. The trick is to lift a handful of coils (four loops will reach about 12 ft.) from the center of the roll, and toss them across the floor as if you’re throwing a rope. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

3. PACK ELECTRICAL BOXES NEATLY If you’ve done much wiring, you’ve probably run into the issue of an overstuffed electrical box. Here’s how to ensure a neat and compact box. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

4. REMOVE SHEATHING FROM UNDERGROUND FEEDER (UF) CABLE Separate the black and white wires from the bare copper by grabbing each with pliers and twisting. Pull them apart until you have about a foot of separated wires. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

5. NO-SNAG FISH TAPE CONNECTIONS After going to all the trouble of working your fish tape to its destination, the last thing you want is to lose the cable or get your tape stuck on something inside the wall as you pull it back. Here’s how to avoid that headache. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

6. CHECK THE FULL WALL CAVITY Once you’ve located the wall cavity between two studs, run your stud finder vertically to check the whole wall cavity for obstacles like blocking and abandoned headers. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

7. MUST-HAVE ELECTRICAL TOOLS If you plan on doing any electrical work, two tools you should definitely own are flex bits and glow rods — the go-to electrical tools pros use for fishing wires. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

8. PUSH THROUGH EXTRA WIRE When fishing wire to pull it toward you, make sure there’s more than enough wire to hook onto. Sometimes it’s a real challenge to grab hold of a wire, and once you have it hooked, you don’t want to lose it. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

9. IDENTIFY ROUGHED-IN WIRES Save yourself a lot of headaches by identifying the wires as you install them. The electricians we talked to use a “code” for marking wires, and so can you. The top photo shows one example. Another method is to use a label (bottom). WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

10. TEST WIRES BEFORE TOUCHING THEM When you’ve done a lot of wiring, it’s easy to get complacent about whether the power is off — but don’t! Use a non contact voltage detector to check every wire in the wire box or area in which you’re working. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

11. TESTING GFCI OUTLETS When you press the button, it shuts off the power as always. So the only reliable way to check an older GFCI is to use a circuit tester that has its own GFCI test button. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

12. MULTIPLE SWITCHES, ONE HOT WIRE A wire box with three switches is crowded enough without adding extra wire connectors and pigtails. Here’s a wiring method that eliminates extra connections and creates a neater installation. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM

13. STRIP CABLE SHEATHING FIRST It’s tempting to push your roughed-in cable through the knockouts in the box and worry about how to strip the sheathing later. But that’s the hard way. It’s much easier to remove the sheathing before you push the wires into the box. WWW.PERFECTANGLETV.COM
