Setup (Installation)

This receptacle is designed for flush mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Prepare the Location: Ensure you have a suitable electrical box (e.g., 4x4 square box with a 2-gang mud ring or a single-gang box with appropriate adapter) that can accommodate the receptacle and wiring.
2. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker for the circuit you will be working on and switch it to the OFF position. Verify with a voltage tester that no power is present at the wires.
3. Strip Wires: Carefully strip approximately 3/4 inch (19mm) of insulation from the ends of the supply wires. For 14-50R, you will typically have two hot wires (black/red), one neutral wire (white), and one ground wire (green/bare copper).
4. Connect Wires: The Bryant 9450FR features clearly marked terminals.
   • Connect the GREEN or bare copper ground wire to the terminal marked "GREEN" (grounding screw).
   • Connect the WHITE neutral wire to the terminal marked "WHITE" (neutral screw).
   • Connect the two HOT wires (black and red) to the remaining two terminals marked "XXX" (line screws).

5. Secure Connections: Tighten all terminal screws firmly to ensure good electrical contact. Tug gently on each wire to confirm it is securely fastened.
6. Mount Receptacle: Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box. Align the receptacle with the mounting holes in the electrical box and secure it using the provided mounting screws. Do not overtighten.
7. Install Faceplate (Not Included): Once the receptacle is securely mounted, install a compatible NEMA 14-50 faceplate (sold separately) over the receptacle.
8. Restore Power: Go back to the circuit breaker or fuse box and switch the power back ON.
