corecomps' had a post describing how to do it your self.

I am in the middle of finishing my basement, so I went ahead and added a NEMA 14-50 outlet to my garage. Took me 4 hours ('cause I'm slow, like to do things correctly, and I put a piece of scrap 2x4 behind the box to add support) and about $55 in materials:

  • $8.89 NEMA 14-50 Industrial Grade Outlet
  • $6.23 Wall plate
  • $35.53 15 feet of 6-3 AWG NM-B wire
  • A few bucks for a 2-gang 4"x4"x2.125" box and some 3/4" clamps for the box and electrical panel (I had left over boxes/clamps from my basement finish).

    For those curious, a permit for adding an outlet in my city is $1.00, though I am finishing my entire basement, so I paid $50 as a flat fee for remodel/addition work. Had to take a 2 hour 'homeowner electrical exam' on which I got over 100%.

Seems like the lesson there is to get a high quality receptacle designed for multiple insertions. The first thread recommends the Hubbell HBL9450A, which is pretty pricey. I find it hard to believe a Leviton one would be fine since that is commonly seen at RV sites.

Also proper installation/wiring is key. All connections must be good so nothing gets hot, and cables should be of the proper thickness for the current drawn (6AWG in this case).

Also a of grease or dust getting onto the plug as that can reduce the contact area and cause heat.

(And amps can equate to heat if wiring is inadequate and thus overloaded.)
