What else can I help you with?
Do you need 3-wire romex to feed bedroom ceiling box by electrical code?
No, you can feed it with a 2 wire Romex + ground. It depends on what is mounted on the ceiling. If it is just a light all you need is 2 wire + ground Romex. However if it is a fan/light and you want to control each one independant of the other you will need to use 3 wire Romex + ground. This is of course if you have 2 seperate switches. You would then connect the red wire to the blue light wire and the black wire to the black fan wire. If you use 2 wire Romex just connect the blue and black fan/light wire to the black wire in the ceiling box.
To connect 12-2 romex from a switch to a two wire black-white-no ground string of rope lights what do you do with the ground wire from the 12-2 romex at the connection?
I would just burry the ground with a tab wire nut, there is no real worry in not ground such a small thing its only 120 volts but that's just me and I'm 16 so I guess I take different risks. You can email me @ sicksurfer1@comcast.net of you want to ground the wire to be safe though.
Can you mix aluminum wire with romex in a junction box?
No, do not mix aluminum wire with copper wire.
Can you run Romex through a wire mold?
The key is that you don't want to cause over-heating in wire. The answer is you can probably do what you want unless it involves high current and a small cross section in wire mold such that the Romex could generate too much heat. You could always strip out the wires inside the Romex and just run them in the wire mold.
Can the ground wire from two separate circuits (one 20-amp one 15 amp) be shared?
There wasn't room for more details: I know they're shared on the bus bar. I meant to ask if they can be connected in the junction box? I found a jct box with the two circuits. They are completely separate except for the grounding conductor/ground wire, which are connected. This is because the 15-amp has armored BX and junctions with 14-2 romex, so the ground for the romex connects with the ground for the 12-2/20-amp. Thanks.

How to wire a 3-way switch with 14-2 Romex?
To wire a 3-way switch with 14-2 Romex, connect the black wire to the common terminal on one switch, the white wire to the common terminal on the other switch, and the red wire to the traveler terminals on both switches. Connect the ground wires to the switches and the bare copper wire to the ground terminal.

Is that possible to run romex wire to the under ground basement?
No, it is not possible to run Romex wire directly underground in a basement. Romex wire is not rated for direct burial underground and should not be used in this application. Instead, you should use UF-B (underground feeder) cable or conduit with appropriate wiring for underground installations.
What is the diff between 14-2 and 14-3 romex wire?
The primary difference between 14-2 and 14-3 Romex wire lies in the number of conductors contained within the cable. 14-2 Romex has two insulated conductors (one black, one white) and a bare ground wire, making it suitable for standard circuits. In contrast, 14-3 Romex includes three insulated conductors (black, red, and white) plus a bare ground, allowing for multi-wire branch circuits and more complex installations, such as three-way switches.
Can you use romex for a ground outlet wall fixture?
Romex is a manufactures brand name of NMD90 house wire. It comes in different sizes , the most common being 2C-14 3C14 2C-12 and 3C-12. For branch circuit house wiring to wall receptacles 2C14 is used. This cable comes with a black and white #14 wire and a bare ground #14. The bare ground is used to ground the receptacle to the ground bus back at the distribution panel.
What are the standard Romex wire colors used in electrical wiring?
The standard Romex wire colors used in electrical wiring are black, white, and bare copper.
Can rodent damaged romex cause gfci to trip?
Yes, rodent damage to Romex can cause a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to trip. Rodent chewing on the wiring can expose the copper inside, leading to a ground fault. When the exposed wire contacts a grounded surface or another wire, the GFCI will trip to prevent electric shock or fire hazard.
What year did romex wire come out?
The exact year that Romex Wire came out is not listed on their website. However, they do say that they have been selling the wire for over 88 years. I have found the year 1926
What wire is commonly used in house wiring?
Romex, All you have to do is go to a hardware store and tell them you need house wire. It comes in a box. I am not sure how many feet. If you are just looking for the gauge, they will know that too.
Can you mix aluminum wire with romex in a junction box?
