How to Attach Electrical Wires the Correct Way

DIY homeowners often replace electrical switches and outlets. It is important that the task be performed properly. If the wire is not attached properly, they can loosen and create a fire hazard. The wires should not just be placed under the terminal screw. It should be wrapped around the screw in the direction that the screw tightens.

If the wire is not properly attached it may pull loose from the switch or the outlet. View the attached video “Attaching Wires to Switches and Outlets” to see how to properly make the attachment.
