Energy Alternatives - Your Source for Environmentally Friendly Energy

This receptacle comes with a chrome plated cover that fits a standard single gang outlet box. This heavy duty outlet is made of brass and steel so it can handle up to 20 amps. The positive connection is a 10-32 threaded stud with nuts. The negative connection is a short piece of 18 gauge wire. If you plan to use more than 10 amps, replace negative wire with 12 AWG. The negative connection of the outlet is connected to the steel cover, so it is a good idea to use a steel junction box with the negative wire connected to the box as well as the negative lead on the outlet.
