How do you wire 3 timers to one outlet using contactor?
A timer is a type of contactor. My answer assumes you do not need an additional contactor besides the timers and the timers are operated by the same circuit as the outlet. Each timer and the outlet need connections to the neutral and grounding conductors of the circuit. For the hot wires, you have to run your hot feed to each of the timers on the "line" side of the contacts. If the timer and the "line" side of the contacts are different connections you will have 2 connections in each timer. Then from the "load" side of the contacts you run wires that connect to the hot side of your outlet. At some point you will splice these together so you have only one hot wire connection to the outlet. Remember that timers, contactors, relays, etc., are simply switches operated by various means. You have the hot feed on one side and the "switch leg" to your load. You also have a control of some kind, and in your case your controls are the timers.
Can a circulating pump on a hot water boiler be on either the inlet or outlet side?
Yes, a circulating pump on a hot water boiler can be installed on either the inlet or outlet side. However, it is more commonly placed on the outlet side to ensure that the pump is moving hot water away from the boiler and into the heating system. This configuration helps maintain a consistent temperature and reduces the risk of cavitation. Ultimately, the specific installation may depend on the system design and manufacturer recommendations.

Connect the white neutral wire to the center terminal, the black hot wire to one of the side terminals, and the red hot wire to the other side terminal. Secure the wires with the appropriate screws. Attach the outlet to the box and secure it in place. Replace the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the outlet to ensure it is working properly.
How do you change split outlet back to standard outlet?
On each side of new receptacle there is a tab between the screws that hold the wires. This tab is bent back and forth until it breaks off. (Usually on the Brass or hot side.) The receptacle is now split and can now be wired for two separate circuits or one outlet switched and the other not. Easy way is to strip the wire under 1 screw back till it will go under the other screw on the same side and tighten.
