A.C. PLUG ?
Wanted to add one aditional A.C. plug to the interior of my HTT runnin off an existing plug. I was stopped in my tracks, and a bit baffled, as to how to get into the factory plug. Seems to be sealed...

Shallow old work box
15 amp duplex receptacle
Cut or pull wire from existing receptacle. Install box with wires through box entrances. Attach wires to new receptacle or establish pigtail-3 wire from existing wires to new receptacle. Install new wires from extension of branch to new receptacle.
This is one of the most basic, easy projects for DIY electrical work and you'd be surprised how often it's done wrong. Phases are 180, ground not connected, wires stripped too much....I could go on. Just look up the basic instructions on how to connect and don't overload the existing branch with too many higher watt devices.
BTW, learning electricalese, the language, is something to try for. A plug is a male cord end. A receptacle is what the plug goes into.
