The black line, on the other hand, is the hot wire and goes into the hot terminal, the one opposite the neutral terminal. The white wire is the neutral wire and switches into the neutral airport terminal, which is marked by silver/light-colored anchoring screws. Realize your wiresĪny time connecting electrical cabling to an outlet, it may be important to not confuse your wires or push them in the wrong airport terminal. Being equipped with the right tools will help you be prepared for anything throughout the electrical switch wiring process. They can include a multimeter, a non-contact voltage detector (tests the heat of wire without touching it) and a blend sheath and wire ma?e.
Just like any other DIY job, you want to ensure you have the right tools to do the job. Make sure that no wires are sticking out from under the canopy, other than the swag line.MUST-KNOW TIPS FOR DIY ELECTRICAL WIRING IN ADDITION TO SWITCHING 1. When you install a hook, hang a link of chain on it to view your progress. Make sure that the wire is not hanging too low between hooks. The distance between the hooks depends on the distance between the fan and the wall. Install the ceiling hooks in a direct line toward the outlet you will be using. If so, connect the darker wire with the black ceiling fan wire and the lighter cord wire to the white ceiling fan wire. Depending on the swag kit, the wires may be different in color one may be darker than the other. Split the cord into two wires and strip ¾” of insulation from the ends of each wire. The electrical cord consists of a hot and a neutral. Make your wire connections between the fan and the power cord. This will not only help to keep the wire safe, but it will look much cleaner as well. Weave the wire in between links to keep the wire from hanging loose in spots. If the swag kit does not have the wire already threaded through the chain, you will have to manually do it. Lift the ceiling fan and hang it on the hanging bracket. Step 2 - Assemble the FanĪssemble the ceiling fan as per the instructions that came from the manufacturer. Find the centermost ceiling joist in the room, measure out the center point and screw the hanging bracket to that joist. This is the only way you can support the weight of the fan. Because your ceiling fan is not going to be installed to a mounting bracket inside the ceiling, it is extremely important that the hanging bracket is screwed directly into a ceiling joist.
