Installing a 220V Outlet… Because Your Garage Deserves More!
What happens here
Identify the existing knockouts on the side of the electrical panel box where the new wires will enter. Use a flathead screwdriver to punch out the desired knockout, then use pliers to bend and remove the metal piece. Next, using a hole saw (or spade bit for smaller wires), drill a hole through the nearest wooden wall stud to align with the knockout on the panel. This creates a path for the new 10 gauge wires.
Goal: Create pathways for new electrical wires from the panel to the future outlet locations.
