Im in lab today so cant do much till late this afternoon or this evening. But he's going to go by lowes and get what he needs today.
and yes french, if you use the wire nuts the yellow connectors will have to be removed.
Basically slide the romex box adapter over the extension cord first (remove the round nut from it first). Slide the wires through the access plate next, and then slide the round nut over the wire. Now trim back the wires to approx 1/2" or so. We don't want too much bare wire or it will protrude past the wire nut and be unsafe.
Next, hold all the ends of the wires to be connected together with the ends even. Some will tell you to twist the wires together prior to screwing the wire nut down. I prefer not too, let the nut do the twisting.
Place the wire nut over the bare end of the wires and start twisting in a clockwise rotation until it gets good and tight.
Now, tug on each wire just to make sure they are secure, sometimes you will miss one in the process or just barely catch it. Always verify with a good tug on each, don't forget to do this.
Repeat this for each group of wires... the blacks and the whites in your case.
Also make sure there are no loose strands protruding from the nut that could short out on something.
Now, makings sure you have enough slack, slide the romex adapter down into the knock out hole and tighten it to the cable and to the access plate
Confusing I know, but it will be so clear after you do it just once...
Ill take pics tonight for ya
