Using the male end of the drier cord as the hot line in to the box is a major safety issue. So many safe ways to do the same thing.

If I messed it up, tell me how to fix it.If it’s a safety issue, tell me how its unsafe.I’m open to improvement

It’s a safety issue because of the hot exposed prongs. I like seeing another CSST condenser though! I’ve got one that works great, easy to build and low cost.

Everything looks good but for the connector.Think of an outlet that has the male end sticking out of the wall.It would be easy to accidently touch it and get shocked.All that’s needed is have the female connector hot and the male end plug into it for safety.I’d simplify the rig, put the breaker switch inside the dewalt box.Then there’s no reason to have the separate electrical box and wire and connector.

Fair enough. Plan was to start at the boiler and connect everything before plugging into the wall and not touch anything but the dial when its hot, but I should add a safety strap. Won’t take any longer when putting it away.

That… would solve many issues

Plan B indeed.
Much more better.Even less out of place sitting on a garage shelf -
I like the DeWalt box. That makes a nice clean and solid enclosure.As for the plug safety, I always think of it like this. When it comes to plugging things in, the female part has all the power.Learn from the past, live in the present, change the future.
