……………This is a well made product. Before I go any further to be clear on terminology, the connection “device” in this enclosure is a “male plug” (it has “prongs”) as opposed to a “female receptacle” which the “prongs’ go into. In other words this enclosure accepts a “female” receptacle. Having clarified that, the enclosure is bigger than other brands so terminating wires and closing the cover is easy. The plug will accept wire up to #10 solid or stranded which is good for 30 amps and matches the rating of the plug. This type of front access enclosure utilizes a threaded collar around the plug to achieve a “rain tight” connection. A rubber “boot accessory” with a plastic locking “ring accessory” will be needed to go over the receptacle in order to be “rain tight”. However the “plug” is recessed enough and the plastic “flap” cover is wide enough to keep water out of the connection by itself in my opinion.To insert the “receptacle” into the “plug” line up the “grounding (green) prong” in the plug with the same grounding slot in the receptacle. Insert the “receptacle” onto the “plug” and twist to the right to “lock” it. Twist to the left to “unlock” and pull out. Unlike most enclosures of this type the “knock outs” are already out. They use a unique type of “KO” seal that looks finished on the outside with a rubber gasket and 3/4″ lock nut on the inside. You pick which one you want to use and take it out which gives you a “spare”. Why they give you a “spare KO” in the plastic bag is beyond me but you will end with 2 “spare” KO seals. All the KO’s are the same size 3/4″. Inside the box there is a convenient (green) “ground” termination “lug” for connecting the “green or bare” grounding wire from the panel.In closing I like this generator “inlet” enclosure for its size, solid construction, recessed “plug”, large “flap” cover and easily removable KO seals not to mention very reasonable price compared to other manufacturers.
