My goodness thank you alot man. My home is a old home and it doesn't have a ground wire, and i been trying to figure out how to get ground for like 10 years already and now i know how. Thank you soooooo much from the bottom of my heart

Great video. My Dad was an electrician, My Uncle was an electrician, My Cousin was an electrician, My Cousins son is an electrician. However, I am a Math Teacher. After watching this video, I decided I will hire an electrician. I don't have the tools and I don't feel comfortable touching the box. It is important to know your limitations. I have a healthy respect for electricity.

You can secure the LB 90 by using conduit on the inside and a conduit locknut.

For everyone out there stating this guy is doing it wrong are forgetting one critical detail. The NEC is not an actual nationwide code, it is more a national guideline that each state and even county can adopt and amend as they see fit. Every state has different climates and soil content. For instance in Seattle, they require 2 rods at least 8 feet apart, In some areas, the granite layer can be shallow and you can bury the 8 foot rod 30" deep. Some areas would be fine with the clamp he used. My point is be sure to check your local codes for what applies to you.

So straight forward, so thorough, so clear. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and explain the process.

this is so informative for me as i am a electrical distributor trainee. i have been learning so much but the way youre showing everything and taking your time is definitely helpful

Hey thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I learned a lot from them. As a senior electrical engineering student and watching these videos, I do feel more confident in attempting this kind of electrical work.

Jesus Christ, I had to watch 10 videos to find this one that was straight forward. Thank you.

Thanks for keeping it short and on point. Very helpful.

❤❤❤You did it❤❤❤ you fully described the Green Bonding Screw . i put a basic socket wrench to it, and tightened it down . the inside ground is now the same as neutral and to the Ground Rod . Neutral to Gnd is 0 volts. Hot to Gnd is now the same as Hot to Neutral . the installers messed up . last year is was 2.5 volts , recently it had increased to 6 volts . now it is 0 volts as it should be .❤❤❤

Thank you for the video Sir! I learned a lot from you. And a lot from the comments. I'm planning a DIY upgrade of an old 1964 14 space panel that is over full, to this panel soon. Hopefully I'll get it right. Next I need to read up on ACFI/GCFI breakers.

As the LB goes into the wallbefore any wire is run, install either 1/2 or 3/4 inch gray PVC glued into the LB. long enough inside the building where you can cut the PVC just long enough to glue a elbow or male or female adapter onto the pipe. Great video.

great video. As far as attaching the LB to the house, I believe the correct way to attach it is to continue the conduit on the inside of the building so that the LB doesn't have to actually attach to the house and you can just seal up the hole with silicone. That being said, you could just put a conduit strap on the 90 pretty close to the box. once the parts are glued together it should be a pretty tight connection. You could also just use a surface mount box instead of the LB.

Thank you for being so informative. Very helpful.

Thanks for the information. I'm getting ready to do this on a garage I'm tightening up. I told the customer they will have to get someone to do the electric run. The plastic box just drill a hole through it to screw it to the garage. I'm surprised knowone said you can connect the grounding rod with duct tape. I like the way you did it.
