  • Switch controled outlet

    Hi,

    I am trying to run a a outlet off an existing outlet. The new outlet I a sitch to control if power goes to it. So if i flip the switch, the power is on both sockets of the outlet and vise versa. There is currently two wires going to the outlet i am trying to feed off of, Black and White. If someone could tell me what color wires has to go where, I'd appreciate it. I am fairly new to electrical.

    Thanks,

    Do you want the outlet you are feeding from to be switched, or is it already? If it is only the new outlet that you want switched, then it has to be wired directly to the switch.

    Or maybe you can put a switch between the old outlet and the new? Is that what you mean?

    Let us know and we'll try to help. Welcome to the forum!
