Caps Electrical
How do I cap electrical wires that are not longer in use?
I am trying to completely remove a dishwasher. I don’t want to replace it, just remove it and convert the space to shelf space. The electrical is hardwired to the dishwasher. I already have the breaker off and it can stay off indefinitely. How do I cap the wire ends so it will be safe if someone accidentally turns the breaker back on and those go live? Should I just use wire nuts? Thanks
first do not tie the hot and neutral together, if you do and you breakers suck (federal pacific) or are faulty you will risk starting a fire if its left on by accident. the best thing to do safety wise and for looks is to shut off and disconnect the wire from at the panel and remove it all together. slap some drywall mud on the hole and call it pretty. takes like 20 min at most and its gone. have an electrician disconnect and remove the wire, (they do side work, ask around) be safe
