Questions & Answers

What country did this item come from?

Thank you very much. Whenever possible, I try to purchase products made in the United States of America.

Is this what I need to connect directly to my electric meter and mount on a pole to provide power to a 50 amp RV?

It will work for your RV as long as it is a 50 amp rather than a 30 amp. To run it safely, you'll still need to connect it to a breaker in your main panel.

Is this the same as nema 14? Is it possible to use a 50 volt outlet with a 240 volt supply?

Yes, that is correct. It reads as follows: NEMA 14- 50R, as well as the following: The receptacle is a Cooper 50A 125/250V 50A 125/250V receptacle.

DANGER OF FIRE
3/5

DANGER OF EXTREME FIRE! NOT TO BE USED. br>br> We bought this to go with our fifth wheel RV. That was in September, and now it's June, and my wife smelled burning plastic outside, which led me to believe it was coming from the box. When I noticed this, I turned off the circuit breaker and opened the box (photos). We may have lost everything if we hadn't been at home at the time. Other noteworthy details. br>br> br>br>Not for use with recreational vehicles. When the RV is plugged in, it is impossible to close the door.

This worked out perfectly for me because I'm an electrician who works a lot with electricity
5/5

Because we live near the beach and require a heavy-duty receptacle, I did a lot of research on 50 amp RV receptacles. I'm an electrician who uses a lot of force on the lugs (screws in the back of the receptacle), but these didn't strip out like the cheaper versions did. The metal housing or case is thick and sturdy, with plenty of mounting holes. The lid is a little difficult to remove for installation, but that's fine with us because the wind on the coast is so strong.

A great option for installing a Level 2 car charger outside
5/5

When I was looking for a car charger, I chose one that wasn't hard-wired so I could use it with my dryer outlet until I found a permanent location. Because I don't have a garage, the final installation would have to be on the side of my house, where it would be vulnerable to the elements. 240v is frightening enough, but when you add in the weather, it's downright terrifying! My electrician praised the Talon LGP1S 50-watt power supply I chose. Weatherproof outlet, rated at a maximum of ten amps. So am I! I've charged my Chevy Volt during some pretty bad storms, and I'm still here!.

It's beautifully made! It's well-made
5/5

To which wires can be easily connected. I was able to connect wires with plenty of room inside the box using a 6/3 cable.

This NEMA 14-compliant device The 50 Outdoor RV Recepticle has real knockouts, but it replaces the receptacle that came with it
5/5

I looked in our local big box store for a similar item but couldn't find anything. When I looked on Amazon, I discovered the following common issues: 1) Knockouts are nothing more than stamp impressions on a box. 2) When plugging in the plug, the cover does not stay open. 3) NEMA 14 (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) The quality of the 50 receptacle is poor. I bought it after reading the reviews and seeing that few people had complained about fake knockouts; when I received it, I could tell the knockouts were genuine, and the cover stayed open. The NEMA 14-compliant NEMA 14-compliant NEMA 14-compliant If you're using it for a dryer plug that you only use once in a while, a 50-receptacle should suffice. I wouldn't recommend using it for electric vehicle charging or RV power. Fortunately, there are only two screws holding this female receptacle to the front plate, so I was able to remove it. NEMA 14-rated equipment is used in most commercial and industrial applications. The diameter of 50 receptacles is too large to pass through the face plate's hole. But this: That is of industrial/commercial quality will fit. I did have to mark and drill holes in the receptacle plate to match the holes in the front plate, and I attached the receptacle with stainless washers, screws, and stainless nylon insert nuts. (Don't use regular nuts if you don't want to have to tighten these screws all the time. ) To this new receptacle, I connected the ground wire that came with it.

There's no way this is going to work out
3/5

I just got it, and two of the lugs on the inside of the plug are missing. The grounding outlet is also only held in place by a small rivet. Even if it had the other two lugs, I couldn't plug it in because it would break. The ground lug has a lot of missing plastic. I need this tomorrow and will have to drive 35 miles round trip to Home Depot to pick up the entire outlet, so it appears that I paid $ for a rainproof enclosure.

metal casing with a lot of heft to it - This location is ideal for a 50-amp RV hookup
5/5

This large receptacle box is perfect for hooking up an RV on the side of your house. Regular 12 or 20 amp outlets are easily overwhelmed by the draw of an RV, which includes a plethora of fixtures such as a charger, refrigerator, water pumps, and air conditioning, among others. We had a 50 amp wire run and used this box for our hookup by the electrician. It's similar to what you'd find at a campground. The only difference is that instead of fuses, this casing only has room for the receptacle. As a result, you'll most likely want to use an existing fuse box with a dedicated breaker to provide power. It appeals to me greatly. I can now use the RV as a regular guesthouse because everything will work at the same time and I won't have to worry about the receptacle overheating and having to reset the breaker all the time.
