Advice on Adding Outlet.
Looking to add a 20 Amp electrical outlet right underneath my exterior panel using an available knockout and just want to confirm this is the right way to go about this. (Pics attached of panel) I am planning on mounting this right in between the two existing conduits exiting my panel. I am in Texas if it matters for code reasons.
I need the following:
- Outdoor Weather Proof Box.
- GFCI 20A rated outlet
- Outdoor in use cover
- 1/2 inch offset nipple.
- Locknut for inside panel.
- CH 20A Breaker to match my panel.
- 12/3 wire.
What I am confused about is the type of wire to get. Do I need THHN or THWN? Or is there a different type I should be looking at all together?
Thanks in advance!
