Some time in the coming weeks I will be installing a flush mount 14-30R outlet in my kitchen to feed the next phase of my e-brewery. (I have been running a 120v RIMS with my HLT & boil pot on the gas stove, but I am ready for better HLT control and faster boil, so 240v, here I come.) Anyway, the 240v outlet will go into existing drywall, it must look professional, and it must stand up to repeated push-pull loads since I will plug-in at the start of each brew day and unplug at the end. I have looked at the "old work" (aka remodeling) outlet boxes which have little plastic tabs for securing the box to the inside face of the drywall, but I can't picture those holding up over time. Any advice on a simple and strong installation? Thinking about cutting the hole for the box adjacent to a stud and then attaching that side of the box to the stud with a couple of screws.
