    Wiring a GFIC Plug,
    I was wondering how to hook up a GFIC plug, and tie in a Roll max wire to another outlet.

    I am hooking up a pump, so I need a GFIC plug, and ran the Rollmax through PVC, then need to hook in to the carport plugs for power..

    Any help with pictures would be appreciated.

    Are the car port plugs GFI? GFIs can be wired stand alone or to protect every thing down stream from them. If you car port plugs are GFI use a regular plug at the pump and connect to the protected screws in the GFI at the car port. Just in case you are not familer with them most GFIs come with a wiring diagram.

    By "Roll Max" I assume you mean Romex, or NM cable?
    And by GFI plugs I assume you mean receptacles?

    What kind of pump is this? Where is it located?
    Where is the PVC? NM cable, unless it is UF, CANNOT be run in conduit outside.

    All these questions are important.
