220v flush mount

[Skyking1992]

Hi all,

Not sure if I have my terminology right. I have a building with a finished interior (drywall). I need to run some 220v lines for my bridgeport mill and south bend lathe. I can run conduit inside the walls to a 4" deep box for an outlet. Are there cover plates for this? Everything I see at the big box stores looks like it's for an exposed set up like you would see in a factory or steel building. I'm trying to keep the finished look.

Thanks,

I think you will need a shallow plaster ring to attach your face plate and choice of receptacle.

If the outlet is large enough that it will mount to either single box or a 2 gang box you could use one of these:

It projects from the wall to compensate for the drywall.

If not, and it only will mount to a single gang box, you'd need one of these:

and one of these:

They're all available at Home Depot

OK thanks, I can do that. What I was wondering about is if there was a face plate of some sort that would match typical outlet face plates. I don't see any of those at the big box stores. I have some .060 diamond plate - I guess I could always make something.

You use the plaster ring as shown above.
Then it leaves you with aprox 2"x3" opening and you put a cover plate on it.

This is what I did with my welding plug

The ones for a 2 gang box are available at Lowe's :

The single gang covers are at both the Home Depot and Lowes

Home stores don't have much of a selection for larger amp 240v receptacles. If there isn't an electrical supply house near enough, order this stuff online. Even Amazon has several pages of this type of equipment.

I bought blank covers and drilled them for the 6-50 receptacles. The boxes are doubles.

It all depends on what receptacle you are using and what size wire (and thus box size)
