|
|
I'm wiring up an outlet box for a 50 amp Control Panel. With #6/3 conductors, I need a 4" deep box but can't seem to find one at the big box stores. Tried using an extension (see pic) but it's too flimsy and I'm uncomfortable using it with a 240 v plug. Any suggestions?

So that the plug is facing downward which allow straight terminations- got it.

Went with the surface mount option for my specific situation with mounting to a concrete wall. Clean, compact install. It allows for a front facing plugin and avoids having to make a conduit offset to mount to the wall.
