3-way Switch and Single Toggle Switch Box Makeup and Install

Hi, My name is DaveQ. I hope you enjoy my residential electrical videos that show basics for house electric work and troubleshooting. I will be explaining and showing how to electrical videos of how I do electric work with examples.

I am a Residential Journeyman Electrician, Administrator, and Business Owner.

In this video I show how to make up a two gang box with wiring for a light and a switched outlet. I show how to wire a 3-way switch as well as how to wire a single toggle switch using 14/2 and 14/3 NMB. I test the switched outlet in a different video.
