SPECIFIC RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

1) WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not start the generator until the cord is

connected to the inlet and the generator. Any terminal may be energized when the cord

is connected. Shut down the generator prior to disconnecting the cord from this inlet and

the generator.

2) THE OUTDOOR POWER INLET BOX IS TO BE USED AS A POWER INLET ONLY,

NOT FOR USE AS AN OUTLET. NOT FOR INDOOR USE.

3) Only use for connecting a portable generator to the source terminals of the transfer

switch, so the inlet is only energized from the generator.

4) Mount outdoor power inlet box 24” above grade (24” from the ground).

5) USE COPPER WIRE ONLY.

6) Use 1/2” or 3/4” conduit only.

7) Only plug one appliance per receptacle. Never use an extension cord or multi-plug

adaptors to get more appliances connected to the indoor outlet panel.

INTRODUCTION &

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

If you experience a power failure, this Generator Home Connection Kit will allow you to run

a portable generator safely OUTDOORS, to keep dangerous exhaust fumes out of your

home, and conveniently connect appliances INDOORS.

This kit transfers the 15 Amp. outlets on your portable generator indoors, to power lights,

refrigerator, freezer, microwave, sump pump and other appliances. The indoor power

outlet panel comes with LED indicators lights when the generator is connected and is

running outdoors, offering some light to see what you are doing.

NOT INCLUDED

It is important to note that a portable generator and a 30 Amp. 125/250VAC L14-30

generator cord are not included, and must be purchased.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS- LOCATION

BEFORE INSTALLATION. We recommended that you check if a permit is required for this

type of installation.

LOCATION- INSIDE

Choose a convenient location for the indoor power panel, we recommended that the

location be 19”-20” from the floor. Installation should be between wall studs, make sure to

avoid all electrical outlet wiring or water pipes. Once you have chosen a convenient

location, measure and mark the spot. This mark will become the centre position of the

indoor power panel.

LOCATION- OUTSIDE

Try to figure out the location on your outside wall directly opposite the location of the indoor

power panel. Make sure that location doesn’t interfere with outside cabling, pipes, bushes,

etc.

INSTALLATION

DRILLING THROUGH THE WALL- INDOORS

NOTE: A 1-1/4” spade bit (A) Fig.1 is supplied with

this kit. It is used to drill through drywall, wood

paneling, plywood, wood studs, insulation panels,

outside wood, vinyl, aluminum, hardy plank, and all

other non-masonry materials. If drilling masonry

materials such as brick, concrete block or poured

cement is needed, it is recommend to use a 1-1/4”

masonry drill bit (not included).

1. On the inside wall, with the 1-1/4” spade bit (A) Fig.1 installed in a power drill, centre the

tip of the spade bit with your pencil mark, slowly drill through your drywall or paneling.

THEN STOP.

2. Before drilling further, remove the spade bit and inspect the interior of the wall for any

electrical wiring, water pipes, etc. If everything looks clear, continue drilling at full speed.

3. Once the spade bit reaches the wall insulation, reduce forward pressure to make sure

the spade bit cuts through the insulation without snagging.

4. Once the spade bit reaches the outside wall, apply pressure until only the tip of the

spade bit comes through the outside wall. A person outside to tell you once the spade

bit comes through the outside wall can be

helpful.

5. Stop drilling and slowly back the spade bit out of

the inside wall.

DRILLING THROUGH THE WALL- OUTDOORS

1. From the outside wall of the house, using the

same 1-1/4” spade bit, slowly drill until you have

a clean 1-1/4” hole. See Fig.2.

INSTALLING 1/2” PVC CONDUIT

1. Insert the 1/2” PVC conduit (A) Fig.3 into the

hole you drilled in the inside wall, until it comes

out the outside wall, as shown.

CUTTING CONDUIT AND INSTALLING WALL

ANCHORS

1. Remove PVC conduit from the hole in the wall.

2. Straighten and then insert the 4 wires at the rear

of the 6 outlet power panel through the PVC

conduit.

3. Secure the end of the PVC conduit (A) Fig.4

tightly into the cradle (B) at the rear of the 6

outlet power panel, see Fig.4.

4. Insert the PVC conduit and the outlet power

panel assembly back through the hole in the

wall.

5. With one person holding the outlet power panel

assembly indoors tightly against the wall with

the rear cradle (B) Fig.4 positioned inside the

1-1/4” hole in the wall, go outside and mark the

conduit with a pencil 1/8” from the edge of the

outside wall.

6. Remove the PVC conduit and the outlet power

panel assembly. Pull wires out of the conduit,

then cut the conduit on your pencil mark. Once

cut, reassemble the conduit to the cradle at the

rear of the outlet power panel, and reinsert

assembly into the hole in the wall.

7. With the outlet power panel assembly indoors

tightly against the wall with the rear cradle (B)

Fig.4 positioned inside the 1-1/4” hole in the

wall, insert a whitehead mounting screw (A)

Fig.5 into each of the four mounting holes in the

outlet power panel. Tap it lightly in each hole

with sufficient pressure to leave a mark on the

wall.

8. Remove the outlet power panel and PVC conduit

assembly from the wall.

9. Drill a 1/4” hole at each screw mark.

10. Insert one white wall anchor (A) Fig.6 into each

hole and tap them into the wall as shown.

PVC CONDUIT

1. Install insulating gasket (A) Fig.11 over the rear

of the sleeve connector, as shown.

Note: Outside walls can come in different styles

and configurations, if the power inlet box doesn’t fit

perfectly up against the wall, use the second

insulating gasket to increase waterproofing.
