I'm electrically challenged. What do I tell an electrician about the kind of wall socket to install?

The instructions in the box contains all the details. IIRC, it requires a NEMA 650 outlet with an outdoor cover (if installing outside).

Hi Scott, It would be a receptacle like the one you would use for a welder or an electric range or dryer. If you are still unsure, wait until the unit arrives to get a better understanding of what you need. Also, you can search for the download pdf files of the Wattstation to ge a better understanding of what you need. I hope I was able to help you on this.Good Luck.

There is an a sheet of paper inside the box that tells them everything they need to know (It has one sheet for the plug-in version and another for the hardwired version). I gave it to the electrician and he was able to do everything else. The sheet says "Wall receptacle must be a NEMA 6-50 outlet". He personally didn't have the right wall socket on his truck, but he called back to the office and they sent it out. After he was done all I had to do was buy some lag bolts and hang it on the wall (< 15 min of work). I hope that answers your question.

240v wall outlet and make to tell the electrician the charger is 30 amp ahead of time.

Tell him you need a NEMA 6-50A outlet installed on a new 40-amp 240 volt circuit. Or just a new 40-amp 240 volt circuit if you want to hardwire the station.

I would first go to where you bought the item, then the manufacturer. If you don't get the help there, try your local hardware store, Radio Shack or an electrician.

Electrician can do anything including putting a wall plug under a counter so hard wiring isn't necessary. It will work however you want it to.

I don't know how its going to work out, do you have parts to convert it? It might be too big for socket.

Check and see if bulb is loose. Try another outlet.(in wall). Those fail, exchange most diffently

If you are an electrician you can probably do this, yes. I have not tried it, so I can't say for sure. I do know that Home Depot sells a screw in socket adapter that converts the bulb socket to a wall outlet plug so you can plug in an electrical device, like this one. Good luck with your project.

There are holes in the back wall that allow you to secure the fixture to a wall or other surface. You will need to remove the front plate (which the outlet is attached to), secure to the mounting surface from inside the fixture, make the electrical connections, and then secure the front plate back in place. Hope that helps.

It is intended to be hard wired, providing only short wire connections from the circuit board to wire nut on to. However, I suppose you could connect an extension cord to it and plug it in. However, the plug would need to be accessible per NEC, you cannot use an outlet/plug connection behind a wall or other inaccessible location.

My first suggestion is to contact distributor whose name and address is found in packing. The second is take sampleof threaded stud and knurled nut(decorative) to ACE or other retail store for matching. These threaded studs & nutsare commonly used in mounting wall electrical fixtures.(They are not rare or hard to find! Just inconvenient!)

Mine had a standard a-type Edison socket, like a standard light built. You could certainly use one of the modern LED bulbs designed to fit standard fixtures.

You need to connect the existing wires in the wall to the screw connections. Based on your question ( and I'm not trying to be rude) , you should ask someone to help you install this.

You must remove old one and slide new one over socket, you may have to trim sockets down to size hence why they are so inexpensiveDane HarmonDCH Electric & Lighting

I had to install a wall socket above each cabinet/cupboard. I have 7 cabinets in groups of 1, 2, & 4. My cupboards are about 16"" below the ceiling so we have space for the wall socket with the wire in the wall. My cupboard configuration required 3 new sockets which were wired and controlled from 1 wall switch.

It's on a 220. Had electrician install plug on the wall right below the unit

Outlet is too small. Go to a hardware or lab supply and get some of the clear plastic tubing.

I just took a look at mine and what I would do is, carefully, pry it open with my pocket knife. I'm not sure what the two studs on either side of the power switch are but try and figure that out by peeking into the box once you have the knife inserted. Once you get it apart the circuit inside is gonna be hecka simple. You may need to do some saudering but if you can't figure it out you didn't lose anything. Also, make sure that the plugs for the little cable are free of debris so the contacts can seat properlly.

It has to be in the wall socket. I tried in an extension cord strip and it did not work.
