Hi,

Are there any recommended best practices on wiring the neutral wires to the L5-15F pump receptacles?

Per Kal's diagram, a neutral wire should run from the wort pump receptacle to the water pump receptacle, and then from the water pump receptacle to the neutral bus.

However, I'm struggling to get two neutrals wired to the terminal on the water pump receptacle, as the openings on the backside of the receptacle appear to only allow space for one wire. My receptacles appear to be a slightly different design from the ones shown in Kal's photos.

Any thoughts on how I should wire this? I suppose I could add a splice with a wire nut, but I'd like to avoid things getting too crowded if I can help it.

If your receptacles can't fit two 14 ga wires, simply run separate wires from the receptacles to the NEUTRAL bus.

Cheers!

Kal
