Duke 212171 Cord with Plug, 6-20, 250V, 1P

all right so my father-in-law gave me a Sears craftsman twin cylinder 240 volt compressor and I'm going to go ahead and show you how to wire up an outlet for it now I'm right here right next to my panel and you can see due to my shoddy drywall work I'll have an easy time of fishing some wire up through that so I'm just going to go ahead and get started and show you how to wire it up because the first thing I do is verify I don't have any wires back here and of course you saw my drywall job so that was easy job for me but before you start cutting into here you want to make sure you don t wires I'm just going to use one of these electrical boxes that has these side clamps here and as you tighten the screws this will tighten up and pull against the back of the drywall there's one on the bottom as well I'm just going to get a rough outline of the dimensions of it you don't want to cut it to
