Installing a 220V Outlet… Because Your Garage Deserves More!
What happens here
Mount the new electrical boxes for the 220V outlets to the wall studs, aligning them with the previously drilled holes for wiring. The creator uses an 'old work' construction box secured with drywall screws, noting that a 'new work' box would typically be directly mounted to the stud for ideal new installations. Once the box is securely in place, thread the 10 gauge wire through the hole in the stud and into the electrical box.
Goal: Secure the electrical box and run the new 10 gauge wire to it.
