How do you trim the prongs, vertical or horizontal? Should all of them be trimmed?

I trimmed with scissors both ways. I think you need to let your pooch play with it first to see how much kibble falls or not. I trimmed all of mine because my pooch was getting bored without kibble falling out. It is a matter of preference. I also used dog food combined with treats so he does not get too much overweight.

Just wire one end to your power supply, being careful to get the polarity correct. You should protect the exposed wires on the other end.. I just covered each lead with a small piece of heat shrink tubing.

Each prong on the plug is a different shape. Match them up to the corresponding holes and then turn it clockwise to "lock in" the plug.

I trimmed mine with a pipe cutter. It was very easy to cut. Just hide the cut ends inside the wall mounting brackets.

The pictures do show it "right side up", grounding lugs should be at top for verticle installations. For horizontal installations, the neutral side of the outlet should be up. Don't remember for sure, but I think that this is a "recommendation" in the electrical code not a requirement. The norm has become to mount it with the ground lug down even though this is not the safe way to do it.

You can cut the metal, but the bar that makes up the long side is crimped at the ends to fit into the corner pieces, so you'll have to figure out a different way to get the pieces to attach. If you don't mind it being pretty rough looking PVC slips over the bars nicely and would work as connectors.

Yes, they can be used seperately. You would just have to cut off the prong part that would stick into the below layer. It would stand with the prongs though, just not look as nice.

Richard, If you've never used it, and it came out of the shipping box that way she was dammaged prior to shipping, or mfg. flaw. Prongs are supposed to be straight. No in, out, left or right. Sir I hope it helps you. Best wishes..Dennis US Army Ret.

NEMA 6-20 male plug. If you point the plug toward you with the ground on the top, the right blade will be horizontal, the left vertical.

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.

on my vertical outlets, it does NOT cover the lower socket. It has two prongs. It does extend a few inches above the socket. I don't have any side-by-side outlets to try it out on

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

Hello Everyone!Thank you all so much for the great answers and taking time to answer J. Algers question! All of your answers have great techniques to make the trimming process easy and simple as it should be. The technique that Dave posted about scoring the panel on both sides really stood out to us because it sounds like such a great idea to make the trimming process even easier. Again, we thank you all for your great answers...We wish you many happy skies! :)

trim with a utility knife or super shears. I believe they would be too thick at the thick end for scissors.

There are a few options. Manually solder them together, use "strip to strip connector" (also called "any angle turn connector), or "connector box".

I mounted it horizontal. I had to cut part of the stud. It wasn't an issue at all beyond cutting. Took a few minutes to do

We did exactly that. We used a dremel and cut them down to the size we needed. Make sure you only cut the bottom of the inside and top of the outside leg when doing the adjustment. Works fantastic!
