An appliance cable or "flex" outlet is a type of electrical outlet which is NOT a "socket outlet" to take plugs for appliances so that they can be plugged and un-plugged.
An appliance cable or "flex" outlet has terminals inside it. The terminals allow the wires in an appliance cable or "flex" to be connected to the household wiring in a building.
The household wiring comes from the building's main electrical power panel, which carries the main circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are fitted to protect the household wiring from catching on fire if any circuit is overloaded.
Such appliance cable or "flex" outlets also have strain-relief clips. A strain-relief clip helps to prevent the cable from being yanked out of the outlet if the appliance gets moved away from the wall where the outlet is installed.
Such outlets, with terminals inside and strain-relief clips, are used for fixed appliances, such as ranges or dryers, which should never have to be un-plugged during normal use of the appliance by the user.

It is an outlet that has one hot wire, such as a household receptacle, or two hot wires, such as a dryer outlet (in the US). If the outlet has three hot wires, it would be called a 3-phase or polyphase outlet. These would normally be found only in an industrial setting.

What is the difference between flex outlet and spur outlet?
A flex outlet is a wall outlet which has a flexible cable permanently wired into it instead of being fitted with a plug to go into a socket outlet. Flex outlets have their own fuse holder to replace the fuse which would normally be fitted into the plug if a fused plug were used instead. Such fused flex outlets are commonly used for electrical appliances which will never be moved, such as immersion heaters, which are permanently installed into domestic hot water storage tanks, and hot water heaters which are wall-mounted. A spur outlet is an additional wall outlet that is permanently connected to another wall outlet instead of being wired directly back to the breaker panel on its own circuit. Spur outlets are used occasionally when most socket outlets in a building are installed on a "ring main" and for some reason - usually because of cost when an additional socket outlet is found to be needed at a new point in the building - it was decided not to extend the ring main itself to that point in the building. A "ring main" is a loop of cable that goes out from a breaker to feed a "ring" of socket outlets in part of a building and then returns to be connected back to the same breaker. For instance in an average-sized house 3 ring mains would normally be installed: one for the socket outlets in the kitchen, one for the rest of the ground floor and the third for the bedroom floor. This method is used extensively in the UK and Eire where every appliance has its own correctly-fused plug.

What is the biggest flex a hockey stick can have?
about a 40 flex is maximum for a junior stick ---------------------------------------- The biggest flex a hockey stick can have, and I'm assuming you mean the largest number, is a 115 to 120 (depending on the manufacturer). A 120 flex is fairly difficult to find and most are only available in Europe. For the most part, the highest flex available in the USA is a 110. In case there was any question, the higher the number in the flex rating, the stiffer the stick. Here is a listing of average flex ratings for each size stick: Youth - 35 to 40 flex Junior - 50 flex Intermediate - 60 to 70 flex Senior - 75 to 110
