Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Cut the Access Hole

1. Select an accessible exterior location on your shipping container wall near where you plan to draw power.
2. Equipping a power drill with a 2-inch hole saw (circle cutter), drill straight through the steel container wall to create a clean pass-through opening.
3. Deburr and smooth out any sharp edges around the newly cut 2-inch circle.

Step 2: Feed and Align the Socket

1. From the outside of the container, feed the integrated power wire attachment tail-first completely through the 2-inch hole and into the container interior.
2. Push the power inlet housing forward until the integrated rubber waterproofing gasket sits flat and flush against the exterior steel container wall.
3. Level the socket face vertically to your exact preference.

Step 3: Fasten and Tighten the Hardware

1. Locate the three pre-molded mounting holes surrounding the perimeter of the inlet housing.
2. Using a power drill, drive three heavy-duty self-tapping screws directly through the mounting holes and into the container steel.
3. CRITICAL STEP: Tighten the three screws completely snug. This firmly compresses the built-in rubber face gasket against the corrugated steel wall, generating an airtight, completely waterproof seal that blocks out rain, moisture, and pests without needing extra caulk.

Step 4: Hook Up Your Power Source

1. On the Outside: Flip open the protective spring-loaded exterior cover, insert any standard household extension cord running from your primary power source, and close the outer shroud as far as possible over the connection.
2. On the Inside: Walk into the container and locate the wire attachment you fed through in Step 2. You can now immediately plug in any traditional 3-prong device, power strip, or tool directly into this internal line.
