he
cord-tite connector was installed using an electrical locknut left over from
the first
sous vide oven build. A heavy-duty power cord was tightened into the
cord-tite connector. The wire sheathing was removed from the first six inches
and the wires were stripped. Only the common - white wire - and the hot - black
wire - were inserted into lever-style wire nuts, also left over from the first
build. On the duplex receptacle the metal tab between the two hot terminals -
brass bolts - was removed.

Wires
for the temperature probe were soldered to the screw terminal strip which was
installed using four #10-32 bolts from a box of skateboard parts. All wiring
done to the receptacle was done while the receptacle was free of the enclosure
lid. All wiring to the temperature controller was done while installed on the
enclosure lid. When all components were installed on the faceplate the
receptacle cover was installed.

Enclosure lid components installed
While
looking at the design it seemed that a DC power supply would be necessary for
running the SSR. The rest of the wiring was completed so a DC supply may be
installed with minimal new wiring.
All wiring expect for DC supply
