How do you disconnect a light switch and outlet that are tied together?
If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.
How do you change a 2 way light switch?
This is a very simple procedure for the average home owner. First remove the voltage source from the switch by turning off the breaker for that switch circuit at the distribution panel. Remove the two screws that hold the cover plate on.Remove the two switch holding screws and pull the switch forward so that you can get to the side terminals.On a piece of paper make a note of where and what colour the wires are and the position of where they are terminated to on the existing switch.Some new switches have a ground terminal, if the old one did not, extend the ground wire from the back of the switch's junction box and connect to the switch's ground terminal.Remove the old switch and replace with the new switch.Reconnect the switch referring to your notes.Install the switch into the junction box, turn the switch to the off position and replace the cover plate.Turn the circuit breaker on that feeds the switch circuit.Turn the light switch on to test the completed lighting circuit.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself, on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is the standard placement of bathroom light switches?
AnswerFor installations according to US and similar wiring codes: the level as other light switches in the rest of your house and next to the door opening.For installations according to UK wiring regulations: it is not permitted to position a normal shoulder-height light switch inside a bathroom.A switch for the light(s) in a bathroom, shower room or toilet can be positioned either 1) OUTSIDE the room at the level of other light switches in the rest of your house, next to the room's door opening, or 2) as a pull-switch mounted on the ceiling INSIDE the room, just inside the door opening.However, since the latest UK wiring regulations were issued, only a qualified and Licensed Electrician is allowed to install or modify electrical wiring in a bathroom, cloakroom/toilet, kitchen or any other kind of room where water taps ("faucets" in US parlance) sinks, baths, showers, etc. are installed.In the UK, a plate switch may be used if it outside the desigated zones (atleast 0.6m from the edge of the bath or shower and must be suitable for the location(IP rated)).a pull switch maybe mounted on the ceiling anywhere in the room NOT above the shower/bath.This does NOT apply for socket outlets which have to be a minimum of 3m from the bath/shower in the same room,Remember all new circuits MUST be RCD proteded in locations containing a bath or shower (other special locations apply!)
Can you use 14-2 wire to operate a ceiling fan using two switches one for the fan the other for the lights?
On these types of installations an electrician would use a three wire cable set from the switch box to the fixture's junction box. At the fixture's junction box both the fan neutral and the light neutral would be wire nutted together with the incoming neutral from the switch boxes. From the three wire, the white wire would go to the fan and light's neutral wires. The Black would come from the bottom of one of the switches and go to the fan's motor lead. The red wire would come from the bottom of the other switch and go to the light fixture's lead. It can be done with two runs of two wire to the fixture. You will need a two gang switch box for this project to hold the two separate switches. You could use a single gang light switch box if you can still find where duplex switches being sold. A duplex switch is one that has the configuration of a duplex receptacle with the switches being one on top of the other. The cover plate is the same one used for duplex receptacles. To answer this question fully more information is needed. See discuss in the left margin.
