I have installed dozens of these boxes for portable gen set hookups. I started out using the plastic boxes but they fade very quickly in the Carolina summer heat. This box is by far the best out there.

One of the terminal screws on the connector got cross-threaded after first attempt. Won't buy again, obviously.

This all in one enclosure saves time in the field rather than assembling something similar from separate parts.

Easy to install, I already had the transfer panel and just needed a way to plug in the generator without any hassle. Works great!

Worked like a charm to hook up my generator to my fuse box. My electrician had no problem hooking it up

This is NEMA 3R for outdoor use and one of the few I have seen that the environmental resistance is apparently maintained while connected to the generator. That's important for my home since inclement weather accompanies nearly every outage. This inlet box is the same that has been marketed as a GenTran (now owned by Generac) p/n 14302. It's UL Listed and made of heavy aluminium. It has concentric knock-outs which support 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch trade-size. This sort of KO is versatile but a bit tricky to pop just the 1/2 inch slug. One KO is on each of the two ends and two more, side-by-side, on the back. It has four mounting-holes on the back that suit #10 screws. NFPA only wants 10 AWG but 8 AWG could easily be used as there is ample space in the box. The connector used in mine is a Cooper (Eaton/Arrow-Hart) brand, it looks pretty sturdy and holds wire very well. This is probably an AHL1430FI assembly and so it too supports up to 8 AWG. The connector comes grounded, through 10 AWG stranded, to a stud in the box. The connector assembly may be withdrawn and wired by removing its three securing screws.Potential Risks: Supplied with zinc-plated screws securing the cover and plug but they should serve many years even if they rust a bit. The material supporting the plug does not seem quite as sturdy as the plug but, at room temperature at least, seems adequate; I doubt there will be any issue. The knock-outs are not water-tight, there are gaps, but this is probably not an issue. The pop-rivets are not of the closed-end type though I doubt this will be an issue either.My install: I fitted my basement-mounted load-center with a special Cutler-Hammer/Eaton cover. This new cover includes a factory, UL-listed, mechanical interlock. Part of this change involved moving the right-hand column of breakers down to allow the installation a 30A, 2-pole HACR breaker. The interlock enforces the choice between public power and the generator feeding this additional breaker. It's wired using red & black stranded THHN, 10 AWG (minimum per NFPA 70), along with a white neutral and green for the ground. Plumbed through 1/2 inch ENT. The obvious and popular choice here would be NM-B 10/3 but ENT was handy. This leads to a 1/2 inch GRC coupler and 1/2 inch GRC close-nipple. This mechanically stronger, UV-stable stub passes through a 1-1/8 inch diameter hole, penetrating the wall and vinyl siding. (consider the siding thermal expansion if you do this!) The nipple enters one knock-out at the back of the inlet-box, secured with a nut and topped with an insulating bushing. The box is mounted using four stainless screws passing through four aluminium spacers, into the house. The spacers keep the box level (parallel with the sheathing) and prevents crushing the siding. The siding was re-sealed using 50-year rated sealant. Ensure that the conduit, or whatever, is clamped to slope toward the exterior wall.Now, when the power goes out in the next ice-storm, I can connect my little generator to keep a few thing going, like the well-pump and boiler.
