Anyone else have to connect two hot and two neut 12 gauge wires to the thin wires that came with this outlet? How did you do it?

Turn the power off and twist the two hots together, twist the two neutrals together, and wire nut the leads off the outlet to the twisted wires. The little orange wire nuts won't be big enough, so you will have to get different wire nuts. The neutral could still have a load on it, if it is shared with another circuit, so you might be better off hiring an electrician to change it out for you.

you can't do that. in a 120 volt environment I would cap the one set and only connect the other. You only need 120 volts

Strip a little extra off the wires on the outlet and make sure they wrap around house wires a few times. Use large wire nuts and tug on the outlet wires to make sure they don't pull out.

14 wire is borderline and i used 12 -2 two hots and one ground wire works like a charm did not use 3 wire only black and white hot and copper ground

I had the same problem too but it turn out that one of the wire crimp was not connecting correctly. I would check all the 12v wire make sure it have a good connection. If you still have problem, give flex a lite a call and they will take care of you. thanks

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZPS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

Nope! I went ahead and took the pig tails from the ac adapter and exposed the bare wire and made my own adapters. Or I supposed you could also do a terminal block and wire it all in that way.

Just use the low voltage wire from the hareware store. It has the positive and negitive wires together.

I cut the plug off and hardwired two, be careful not to coil the wires or let them touch the unit.

Now that I've looked at the product, I remember. The wires will hook up as Tinkerguy notes below. Just put the wire into the hole and screw the screw in and it holds the wires firmly. So basically, you just need to strip the end of the wires from your 12V supply bare and put them in.

I have two gauge in mine. That's prob. Pretty close to as big as it goes due to size of the connector that wire goes into.

Not sure about your heating system, but mine has two wires only. I connected them to R and W with no issues.

I have a power cable "16 gauge " and a USB cable in the center. I split / cut one side of the wire mold and add a Cat5 cable. I hope this help. Good Luck..

You need some type of squashing tool to hold the wire into the metal connector. I just used pliers.

I tried using what I had as well and ended up buying a bigger unit to plug into the wall and I tried using my wire but ended up buying new wire. Once I got everything in place it works fine but I was frustrated at first trying to use what I had. Good luck

I wanna say check wire diagram , look for wire labeled "park" (or similar). I will look into this issue for ya, if not resolved already.

I had the same issue, as the wire was only 4' long on each.However, I did cut off the existing wire and connected the new sensors with the wire nuts that were included.

I didnt cut that wire off. I loosened the faring and unpluged the old one, then I pluged the new one in. I would say yes. I would just splice the new one to the old wire. Jerry

I hard wired mine. Put a junction box behind each. You can google wiring instructions if that's what you're gonna do.
