Is there some trick, or special product you can use for installing a 50A receptacle flush-mount in an existing wall, without having to cut extra drywall out? We had a job recently, where the customer added such a receptacle in his garage, and we ran 6/3 NM from the panel. I provided my journeyman with a 4-11/16" metal box and a 1" cable clamp, but there didn't seem to be any easy way to mount it inside the wall. He ended up just using 3/4 conduit down the wall and surface-mounting the box. The customer would have preferred to see it in the wall, flush-mount, but I can't really think of a good way to do it.
I don't think you can just put it in a 2-gang plastic cut-in box, because the 6/3 is too big to go into the wire clamps.
