How do I wire multiple Safety Outlets and Switches?

In the US, where the NEC doesn’t restrict appliance garage outlets, Docking Drawer gives you the freedom to configure as needed. Our modular Safety Outlet system is designed for flexibility—so whether you’re wiring one switch to control multiple Safety Outlets, or connecting multiple switches to manage one or more outlets, we make it simple. To guide your project, we’ve created wiring diagrams for the most common multi-switch and multi-outlet configurations, including:

  • How to connect 1 Switch to 2 Safety Outlets
  • How to connect 1 Switch to 3 Safety Outlets
  • How to connect 2 Switches to 1 Safety Outlet
  • How to connect 2 Switches to 2 Safety Outlets
  • How to connect 2 Switches to 3 Safety Outlets
  • How to connect 3 Switches to 3 Safety Outlets

Important: Each Docking Drawer Safety Outlet and switch is individually ETL Listed. Wiring multiple units together in series goes beyond that individually evaluated configuration, so the ETL Listing does not extend to the combined installation. Follow these instructions and all local electrical codes, and have the finished installation inspected by a qualified electrician where required.

No matter how many outlets or switches your appliance garage requires, Docking Drawer makes it possible to design the right setup. Explore the diagrams to see what fits best, or call our experts at (530) 205-3625 for help creating a safe, seamless solution.
