HOW TO INSTALL A TESLA WALL CONNECTOR ANYWHERE! THE EASY WAY!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

An exit hole is drilled through the exterior wall using a 1 1/4-inch paddle bit to accommodate the 3/4-inch EMT conduit. A second metal junction box (1900 box) is prepared as a pull box for the exterior. The Tesla Wall Connector itself needs to be prepped: a 3/4-inch hole is manually knocked out using a stepper bit to install a weather-tight connector. The charger is then mounted on the exterior wall using screws and a level to ensure it's straight.

Goal: Create exterior wire access and securely mount the Tesla charger

screwing in and just wiping off my EMT. Just checking my work. And I'm using an inch and a quarter paddle bit again, guys. So, inch and a quarter paddle bit, sleeve in my 3/4 in EMT to outside the house. And I end up installing another 1,900 bucks for my pull box. And here's now prepping the charger. In order to prep the charger, guys, you need to manually make your 3/4 in hole. So, I take a stepper bit. I put my 3/4 in weathertight connector inside. Use a level to make sure my charger is mounted straight. And I'm getting my wire ready
