Reliance Controls 50-Amp Power Inlet Box (Non-Metallic)

I installed this inlet box without much difficulty. When I plugged in the generator cable which was a very heavy cable with a pre-molded head the plug and mount flexed too much for my liking. You have to wiggle the plug a little to get it to seat properly and if you applied just a bit to much torque I think the connector or connector mt would break. So I guess if you are very careful ,as I will be, plugging your cord into this box it will be fine, but beware be forewarned.

Very hard to install the wire due to poor design.. Don't even try to install this box in extreme cold temperatures as the wires have to make such a hard bend and they enter into the box right behind the connection which mean that it needs to come into the box and do a very tight loop up down into the connection.

I purchased this to connect a 10kw generator I bought after hurricane Sandy. I wanted a set up that would allow me to run most of the important circuits during a power failure. Installation was easy. I noticed some deflection of the back of the unit during installation on to a brick surface. A little reinforcement in back and things were fine. I tried to plug the generator power cord in at that time and found it to be very difficult.

A year later I finally had an opportunity to use it for real. During a recent snow/ice/rain event we lost power due to a downed tree. I got out the generator, plugged it in in cold freezing rain weather. It plugged in easily and we had heat and basic power in no time. This seems to have been definitely well worth the money. I will approach the next outage with much greater confidence. Glad I bought the top recommendation.
