electrical outlets in series

[Unregistered-crwchf135]

what is the correct way to hook up wires for outlets in series? What do i do with the 2 ground wires

[Jasper]

* Strip about 6 inches of the cable cover to expose the 3 wires,
* Remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each wire.
* Get a 6 inch Black wire, A 6 inch white wire and a 6 inch copper wire.
* Connect the 3 black wires together using a wire nut.
* Connect the three White wires using a wire nut.
* Connect the 3 copper wires using a wire nut.
* This leaves you with 3 pigtail wires.
* Connect the Black wire to the Gold screw.
* Connect the White wire to the silver screw
* Connect the Copper Ground wire to the Ground screw on the outlet.
* Run the cable to the next outlet and do the same.
* There will be only one cable at the last outlet.
* Good luck… Adios… Jasper…

I believe you meant “multiple outlets in parallel.” Outlets in series does not work for me!
