i would buy a plug and wire it. but you can wire it str8 to the tube. wire it color to color. they should have the same color wires on both units.

I was thinking hammer drill and chainsaw might get involved.

May I suggest a boxed junction with 3/8 clamp connectors in the 1/2" knockouts and bond the ground conductor to the metal box and blank cover of course.
