Reliance Controls 30-Amp (4-Prong) Power Inlet Box (Non-Metallic)

I'm an electrician, so I like a well designed inlet box. This being plastic, I don't have to worry about corrosion or shorts. I like the inlet on the bottom for the customers' safety if its raining, it also makes it more weatherproof. I like that the plate which holds the outlet slides out so you can wire it easily.

Be careful with the two screws that hold the cover on, use a hand screwdriver. You can strip the threads if you use a screw gun and too high a torque setting. Also, you need to leave some room at the top where the top of the back plate is against the house,so the cover can slide back on. I usually situate the top to end up off the house by strategically placing it on the laps of the siding to make this happen. You'll figure it out!

Very easy to wire with the slide out design of the receptacle.

My electrician specifically asked me to purchase the Reliance Controls Inlet Box PBN30 30 Amp inlet power box for my generator hookup. He has used a variety of other brands and he feels that this particular brand and model number gives him plenty of room to easily wire this inlet box.

He installed it without any problem and the way it is designed, it looks good on the side of my house.

Got the Generac 5747 and the 75 foot Gen Tran 30 amp Cord with a Reliance PBN 30 Outlet box. Great set up.

Now it keeps going even when loaded. Electrician loved the unit. Said it ran like a champ.

Very strong and easy to install and built to last. Makes generator hook up fast and easy.

Purchased this inlet box for a generator hook up to an off grid cabin. Exactly what I needed and wanted. Easy install, quality product!

Very nice, as advertised, easy to wire.

It was very easy to install, and strong enough to stand up to repeated use.

I got it at a great price too; I saved money buying on line- you can't beat that.

My customers prefer the clean appearance of Reliance inlet box model # PBN30 (and PBN20) and believe it safer during inclement weather with bottom connection. Product ordered because local electric supply houses do not stock product .

I liked the design of this box, it keeps the socket protected from the weather. It is a little tricky to take apart. So, I would suggest you show your electrician how to do it. Mine liked the design and like that fact there was room to get 8 gauge wire in it.

When new it matched my siding color perfectly. After a few weeks (in direct sun) the cover has yellowed significantly!

This goes with many homes decor. Sturdy and easy installation.
