well i've been asking for quite sometime on the correct wiring of a bathroom fan up to the same circuit as my light in the bathroom but i believe i've figured out. but i have a question now about the wire guage.the wire guage in the house is the standard solid 12 or 14 i think(house built in 50's) and the the wire that came with the bathroom fan looks a little smaller or about same size but it's braided .it should be fine to splice the two right?
Yes, you can. Use insulated wire nuts. I always wrap the wire nut and connection with electrical tape. Safety First! Also my parents have house that was built in 1908 and they didn't use a ground back then. Make sure your house has one.
It will be fine to wire nut them on there.
Yes. it's ok. Also. the wiring you have is probably 12 gague. Newer homes use 14 gague wiring for lighting to save some money.
The wires for the fan are probably stranded and twisted, or braided, but you certainly can splice them to solid wire using an insulated wire nut. Just make sure when you put the nut on you don't push the stranded wire off the solid wire, which will result in a not so solid and safe connection.
