Since I’ll be installing my own connectors can I install male ends on both side so I can use a female receptacle on my spa panel? Or is it better to wire it up conventionally with a male/female then install a make recoetacle on the spa panel?

Yeah, that sounds like a safe(er) bet. Just made an offer on eBay for a 50' roll of 10/4 SEOW. *fingers crossed*

OK, that's what I figured. Secondary question, I found some bulk 10-4 SEOW cable that is connector-less. Price would be comparable. Should I just buy the bulk and install 30a connectors on the cable or just ensure I'm not exceeding a 30a build on the control panel/rig side?

I pulled my dryer power cord out to see what kind of receptacle it had in order to buy an extension cord to run the 40' or so from that outlet to my control panel in the garage (I don't have 240v access in there... yet.) Anyway, discovered it is a NEMA 14-30R which resembles an oven/range 50a...

hahahaha! I didn't even notice that lol. I found these voltage spec on their website: 300V AC / 48V DC

They’re rated for 100amps

Ok cool. I bought these because, as I understood it, if you bring hot/neutral/ground to one terminal then the entire bar can jump off of that one lead connection. If so then aren’t the small 5circuit ones really capable of handling 9 other connections?

16 terminals?! The reason I went with these ones was because I couldn't find a picture/diagram needing that many terminals. Does anyone have one I can take a look at for reference. I have found single EZBoil/pump/dual element diagrams but nothing that has what I listed above. And it appears...

You're never in the Chattanooga area are you?

Bought these bus bars for my control panel. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K2K6M0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Running a 240v 30a from my dryer receptavle through a 50a spa panel to power two pumps, one 4500w/one 5500w element, 2 EZBoils, and a RIMS tube (1500w element). I also have...

One last question: do I need to run a 4 wire feed since I have that 120v breaker in the spa panel? I read that I would need it if running a 120v in addition to a 240v

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the help

Here are the switches I'd like to incorporate into my e-build. Compared to my other ones these seems to have an additional contactor (?) block attached. If that is the case, I'm having a hard time finding a wiring diagram for them. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a pic of the spa panel that arrived from eBay today. I'm pretty sure I got one heck of a deal considering there's another 120v 20a breaker in there alongside the 50a one. All for $50 shipped! Anyway, obviously I need a power source. I've got an electrician buddy who might be able to...

I understand the purpose of a spa panel and know enough to be somewhat comfortable with working with electricity. However, venturing into panels and walls, I am just doing my due diligence on the forum trying to discern the best way to proceed for my setup and house layout. I've seen...

I did a little looking in my garage and there is a wall that is shared between where the brew area is and my interior laundry room. Can I drill a hole and run an extension cord through the wall? (Using it on brew day and obviously disconnecting it when not in use) I feel like I read somewhere...

I think I might go the spa panel route after all. I found one online that has a double pull 50amp and single pull 20amp for a pretty good deal. I have been reading up on the fact that if I ever move I can take it with me. Not planning on that happenin but better safe than sorry. So, my...

Yeah, the main panel is literally 15ft from where my brew rig is so... Do I even need a spa panel to run a 120v system with multiple elements, pumps, pid's, etc? Would the simplest solution be to install a 30amp breaker in the main panel and run lines for a receptacle next to my rig where I can...

I used to be far more active on the forum back when I was brewing. Had a few kids and moved a couple of times between states - now I'm looking to finish up my new electric rig and get to brewin again! I was at the Habitat ReStore yesterday and came across this 60amp sub panel. I was going to...
