    Need Help Finding an Electrical Receptacle

    Ok, so I just bought a new air conditioner, but I need to switch out my receptacle before I can use it.

    I would like to find a 250V 20A / 125V 15A combo. NEMA 6-20R and 5-15R. Yes, they are on separate circuits.

    Anyone know if they exist?

        I've looked for similiar combo's before with no luck.... You'll probably just have to run two seperated boxes right close to each other.

          Why not get a double box.

          Stick them both in that box, and cut a cover for it out of sheet metal.

            The reason you cant find it is because it is illegal according to the Electrical code. You cant have 220 and 120 receptacles in the same box and be totally safe.

              +1. You will have to run 2 totally seperate boxes/receptacles/covers.

                You could do what Pyro said and make your own cover for a double outlet box. Although if your application is anything like ours was (outside application) then it needs to be somewhat waterproof.
