I'm looking to connect my boiler's aquastat (the only electrical part I know of) to a 110v outlet on a Jackery battery backup for use during power outages. The aquastat is currently hardwired to a fuse in my circuit breaker. What's the best way to add a male plug to make this work? I also need to find a way to prevent the power bank from being live when the standard power is on. Any suggestions on how I can achieve this or other methods I might not have considered? Thanks in advance!

You can set up a duplex outlet on the boiler where one side is connected to your main power and the other side to the power bank. Just make sure both outlets are kept separate. You’d also need a male plug for your boiler input to fit into either of these outlets, so you can switch between them as needed.
Thanks, I think I've started down this direction with some YouTube help, appreciate your input!
