The breaker panel is on the outside wall, right next to my garage. I want to install a 240v outlet right behind the panel, thru the wall.
If i open the panel, there are those round metal covers that can be popped to run cables into the box. Removing one shows the back of the interior drywall. ( since the breaker panel is recessed into the exterior wall)
Idea is simple. Add a 50amp breaker and just drill thru the drywall, run the appropriate cables (about 3 feet) thru the hole and straight into one of these:
Levinton 50 Amp, 125/250 Volt, NEMA 14-50R, 3P, 4W, Surface Mounted Receptacle
No wires would be exposed.
Would this be against code or any safety hazards that i need to be aware of?
