    Direct wire an appliance
    I have an appliance (towel Warmer) to install in my bathroom. It came with a switch, 6' cord and molded plug. I want to cut the plug off and wire it directlry into a duplex box. Is there a cover plate that will accommodate this?

    I answered your question, You have one post. You are a JERK.
    Only ask questions you understand.
    If you are installing a switch in box, use a switch plate. What is so difficult.
    ARE YOU STUPID? I Reread your redmark, I never ran into someone who was not aware of the Knockouts or what they are for. You must be genius
    I new you had less than 10 post, For some reason, New people love to give Red Marks,
    That is the sign of an XXX.

    I think what you're trying to do is wire towel warmer into duplex outlet

    You want to have the cord come out between wall and cover plate

    Probably the easiest way is to use a small round file to make a

    Small notch in edge of wall plate where wire will be secured

    This way you have use of both outlets and power to warmer
