What a fantastic query! They have not been penetrated for waterproofing purposes and will need to be drilled through. A Step Drill Bit or a Hole Cutter are both recommended. Drilling through them will be a breeze with these two drill bits.
The plug is designed to accommodate a 10-foot extension cord. 3 wire . In this box, I believe 6 gauge will be difficult to bend. Most generators should be able to handle 30 amps. You might need a 50 amp box with 6 wire.
Dear Sir or Madam,br>This power inlet box is equipped with a NEMA L14-compliant connector. Connector number 30. A NEMA 1430 outlet for a 30 amp plug is almost always found on a 7500 watt generator. Many different lengths of 30 amp L1430 power cords with an L1430 plug and connector are available.
Following are four knockouts on the inlet: top, bottom, left, right back. They haven't been penetrated and will need to be drilled through with a Step Drill Bit or a Hole Cutter.

My only criticism is that the "knockouts" are anything but knockouts; you'll have to drill them out to the proper size. If you try to hammer them out, the box will be crushed before they can come out.
created a unit The socket appears to be of good quality, and the sheet metal is very heavy. I am confident that it will serve me well. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Now that I've started putting it together, I discovered that the 3/4" (outer) knockout on the bottom wasn't punched properly (it was deformed but not sheared), so I distorted the sheet metal trying to remove it, and the paint came off in large flakes. I used a hole saw for the second one, and it worked perfectly. Check out the socket. Sheet metal with a lot of weight, yes. Adhesion is a bit iffy. I'd probably buy it again and use a hole saw this time.
The only reason I didn't give it a five-star rating was because the punch out hole on the back wasn't even close to being completely cut through. I finally had to use some drill bits to get it out. Aside from that, the product appears to be of good quality, and I would recommend it.
This is a fantastic, well-made, solid box with heavy gauge metal and a well-designed interior. To make wiring easier, install the cover and plug. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the knockouts aren't really knockouts. They appear to be knockouts, but I don't appear to have a large enough hammer to remove them. To get them started, I had to drill all the way around the perimeter, which added time and frustration to the process.
The only issue is that the standard 30A twist lock receptacle won't go far enough into the box to turn and lock. This is due to the fact that the interior of the plug assembly tapers at the bottom. Design and/or quality control are both extremely poor. This has been mentioned in a number of other reviews as well.
Everyone said it, so I assumed they fixed it, but clearly they don't care to read the reviews or perform basic quality control. It's ludicrous to be on the job and have to do some expensive garbage work! It should do its job because the person who created it should be held responsible for it. It looks great, but the knock-offs irritated me. In an attempt to get the knockouts to work in a bind, I broke the cheap welds that held the bottom together.
It is well-made. br>However, be cautious: br>Because the knockouts were not pressed all the way through, they were extremely difficult to remove in the traditional manner. br>br>Either the 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch knockout had to be removed with a hydraulic knockout tool.
