50 Amp Generator Inlet Box [Pre-Drilled] with Green Safely Light, NEMA SS 2-50P PB50 Weatherproof Inlet Box, Power Inlet Box for Emergency in Snowstorm Weather, ETL Listed

This replaces an old original Generac 30 amp generator plug inlet that had the inlet underneath the bottom which made it very hard to get the plug into, especially when the power is out and it's most likely bad weather.This inlet with the prefab knockout plugs made it very easy to wire up. The thing seems solid. The green light indeed works but only when generator power is applied...which I guess is ok.Now no bending over or laying upside down on the ground to get the generator plug installed...just lift the lid plug in and you're good to go!

A quality unit - but...... the knockuts will not release as normal. You will need to drill out, and fine grind the openings to the proper size unfortunately. It was a frustrating experience to what should have been an easy install.

This is a very robust box it's definitely not going to twist or warp when you're installing it or twisting the cord in or out. The instructions state that the "knock outs" are really more of a suggestion where to drill for conduit entries. The metal is intentionally THICK due to the manufacturer having to meet ETL standards for approval to sell this box. The flip cover seems to have a positive "snap" to ensure it is fully closed while not in use. I just received my box this morning so I have not installed it yet, but I don't forsee a problem since I have all the required tools for drilling the knockout out. If you need a step drill you can get an inexpensive one at harbor freight or Amazon, just remember for a 1/2" conduit entry you need to drill a 7/8" (0.875") hole, and for a 3/4" conduit entry you need to drill an 1-1/8" (1.125") hole. If I have problems I will update my review.Update: I just installed this box and all went well. I used a 1 1/8" hole saw to drill out the bottom knock out. Installed a 3/4" PVC connector and mounted the box to my cedar siding through the 3 mounting holes located in the back of the box. The only complaint I have is the ground binding terminal. I had to completely remove the screw in order for it to open up, honestly not a big deal. I used 8 awg THHN wire which fit perfectly into the holes of the receptacle and 10 awg for the ground (which is NEC code compliant). I know 8 awg is oversized but I had some left over from a previous side job. 6 awg wire will fit into the terminal hole but the bindimg screw won't quite tighten up.I recommend this product IF you have the required tools for drilling into the box.

This is a good product but if you need to use the knockouts for cable entrance beware. There are indentations for the knockouts but these do not knock out. I was using a screw driver as I usually do on knockouts however instead of the knockout coming lose and bending, I pierced a hole through the case. Then I attempted to drill out the knock out and the stepper bit I had could hardly take care of this. The metal case is a tad thicker than normal boxes which is not bad, but I really wish the knockouts would come out like they should. Would have taken me 15 minutes to install instead of over an hour.

It was easy to install, and it worked great during Hurrican Beryl. We ran on generator power for 5 days before the main power came back on.

Quality product. Easy to install. Weather proof.

I install this generator plug for one of my customers and was working good for his generator.

Heavy gauge metal. I would highly recommend.

es muy bueno para exteriores, pero muy complicado perforar los orificios para el cable en la caja

good way to connect a generator

great input for generator hook ups, and is weatherproof when closed..I have even used it in regular vertical rain without issue.Even the handy light on it is useful at a distance to confirm power is on , 100Metres

Great product not installed yet.
