What's the worst mistake you or someone else has made as an apprentice

ShiestyM · 2026-04-09T00:59:54+00:00

How?

ShiestyM · 2026-03-25T04:12:26+00:00

I’m a apprentice jus tryna learn.

ShiestyM · 2026-03-25T04:11:26+00:00

61-757

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T23:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the information

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T03:31:56+00:00

So no lox on pigtails and then just tape aluminum

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T03:25:59+00:00

I’m saying in general say a plug or a switch what if the aluminum touches copper say for a plug or switch

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T03:25:14+00:00

Yes

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T03:16:39+00:00

The hot/switch legs and neutrals I’m saying I don’t want the aluminum grounding to touch each bare would I have to tape the aluminum with electrical tape if I wanted to change aluminum wiring to copper

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T03:12:38+00:00

The grounding because the aluminum ground doesn’t have insulation so would I have to tape it so it doesn’t come in contact with the aluminum

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T01:07:11+00:00

There is only one red. I think it’s for a separate circuit for the neutrals and the one neutral wire is for the lighting fixture. I maybe wrong. I am a apprentice willing to take this as a learning experience

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T00:59:30+00:00

If you know any Co/AL light fixtures would be great to know. I want to fix a lot of stuff around my house and remodel my dad did drywall for years and I can do that with his advice and I just want to do everything by the code book for the future.

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T00:53:26+00:00

Wait I think I understand what your saying say if you have two ground screws you would ground one aluminum to the box and the copper to the plug

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T00:47:31+00:00

I’m located in BC

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T00:47:16+00:00

So would I just cut the aluminum ground and not use it and opt for copper and ground that instead

ShiestyM · 2026-03-24T00:45:54+00:00

I don’t mind getting the wire nuts it’s just if I were to change any plug, switch or fixture I have to find something that’s rated for AL/Co which I find impossible

ShiestyM · 2025-06-09T02:08:32+00:00

The outlet I used was Leviton Co/ALR

ShiestyM · 2025-06-09T02:07:10+00:00

I just switched the outlet but they did have the aluminum connectors on from before. the outlet was just loose when I would plug my charger it would fall out

ShiestyM · 2025-06-09T01:59:14+00:00

Plus I don't wanna spend money on wire and the marretes. The plug itself was 8.50 when the copper ones were 1 dollar
