I have a house with 2-wire receptacles. From one of the 2-wire receptacles, I want to run a line to a new 2-wire receptacle that I am adding. The wire I have to run the line is 12/2.
The question I have is, "What do I do with the bare ground wire in the 12/2 wire?"
The original 2-wire receptacle box and the new 2-wire receptacle box are metal. I am assuming that I should NOT connect the bare ground wire to the metal box on either end.
Is that correct, or am I supposed to attach the bare ground wire to each metal receptacle box even though I don't know if either box is grounded?
Thanks.
