splicing stranded flexible wire? Bad idea unless you know what you're doing. Best use a barrel or other splice connector and tape well.If you have several lampcords to run through the wall, get two J-boxes (junction boxes), one for each side of the wall. Use some cable glands/dome fittings for the flexible lamp cords. Between both J-boxes install a length of EMT pipe and some plastic bushings, and run cables through the EMT pipe, you can splice if you have to. The J-boxes will have 1/2" knockouts or drill your own for the dome fittings.
Lol I'm not retarded, I know a standard electrical plug.
I said where do you get receptacles for grow hood plugs, as in the plug from the hood that goes to the ballast. A BAASP plug.
Wrap it up dude. Ballast plugs are unique to connecting ballast and mogul..there is no receptacle anywhere in the world that fits either style of BAASP plug configuration.. Nor were they ever intended to.Well, it's not much harder to find that receptacle than a regular one. So I assume you are all over it then.

yes..there is not and never will be a BAASP receptacle except the ballast itself.You sure about that bro?
Sorry I have to spell this out for you, but here we go. Take your lamp cord, and strip it back. Land it in a surface mount box and then run pipe to your controller. Or if in a garage over 7 ft you can just use Romex from your controller to your J-box......... Happy now, or do I need to hold your hand and tell you how special you are? Are you in your safe space?
So @Natural he already said this is at a house.
dang papa..long time no see bro...awesome to hear ya peep in..busy season :)'lots of good info here.
yes, it is against code to pass most cables through a wall, and "most" includes your cable between ballast and fixture.
if you're doing this, i assume that you are not worried about building to code, or insurance companies, for that matter.
in the old days, i'd install pvc and abs sleeves through the wall like Natural suggested. then i'd caulk around the outside of the sleeve and i'd pass electrical and plumbing through these sleeves and then seal around the pipes/cables within the sleeve with plumber's putty. this made it easy for changes. i like the use of fire block foam however. whenever there's an option to make my room more fire safe (including limiting the spread of fire), i think it's a great idea.
abs sleeves
abs is the "black plumbing pipe." 3" or 4" diameter for the ballast connectors, a couple of inches longer than your wall is thick.What do you mean by abs sleeve? Google doesn't give a clear cut answer on what one of these is.
