I am trying to help my neighbor with his pump. It's a Pentair OP-NI-1VD (Part No. 347987). It's currently wired with a black cord that runs to a piece of NMLTC and is spliced with electrical tape. Definitely not good. On my pool, the NMLTC runs from the timer directly into the motor housing. From there, there are screw terminals for the conductors. I was expecting the same configuration with this pump, but it does not appear to have screw terminals. The incoming black cord has these spade connectors on the ends. If I remove each connector, I see a bolt, but I don't know if it's intended for a copper conductor to be placed underneath it. I guess the original black cord has had the plug cut off, so it can no longer be plugged into a receptacle. I'm trying to figure out if I can hardwire the pump or splice the black cord into an electrical box. Worst case scenario, he will have to order a new cord, and I guess install a receptacle.
I appreciate any input/advice.
