Default Good ways to close the output power cable on a condensate pump?

The old pump (which seized up after about 6 years) had a sealed-up
cable that you could strip and use optionally to power something else
(with a cut-off if the tank gets full and fails to empty). But you
didn't have to do anything if you weren't going to use that cable.

The new one came with bare wires on both the incoming (no plug!) and
outgoing cables.


Isn't there a terminal box on the pump, accessible if you remove a
cover? Then you can cable it with whatever.

Sometimes installation things are supplied with short lengths of wire as
they get tested with them on the final stage of the production line?
