NOTE WELL: Tracking information may initially suggest your order was "delivered" to an address in San Francisco or a Post Office near you. This is normal and not a concern.Be on the lookout for made in China imitations listed as "Copper" plugs, and listings which do not state the country of origin of their products. "UL US" certification in no way indicates US country of origin. A single customer reported "Made in China" packaging. How that got in there we have no idea. If this happens to you we will be happy to replace. We hope we are not Asiaphobes but we recognize some people consider it important.
Please don't confuse these with L14-30P plugs, which look somewhat similar but are keyed differently. The last photo in the set shows what your L14-20P OUTLET should look like.
Back to the lecture at hand:
Offered here one Cooper Wiring Products NEMA L14-20P 20 Amp 125V/250VAC 3 pole, 4 wire, single/split phase plus ground locking style plug, NEW in factory sealed retail hanging pouches with instructions.
These are popular for use with generators, in pro audio racks, in RV's, and in commercial kitchens. These will play nicely with L14-20R receptacles from any manufacturer, as L14-20P is a NEMA standard. Regardless as to whether you call it 125/250, 240/120, 117, 115, single phase, split phase, or two phase: these are the ones you need for service in North America and other countries that follow the NEMA standard.
Popular on generators rated 5000W or less.
They are good for making subpanels or jobsite "breakout boxes" where a single split phase 125/250V L14-20R outlet can be brought out as a pair of independent 120V, 20A circuits, providing a total of 40A at 120V.
UL and CSA listed and indelibly marked (molded into face). Made in USA.
Rated 14/3 SJ thru 10/4 SO, .250 to .775 in diameter. Generally use 12 gauge or heavier, and a double pole breaker of no more than 20A behind the outlet serving this plug. If GFCI protection is desired, use a 2 pole GFCI breaker with a neutral sense lug or flying lead. If only 120V loads will be serviced, you can install a pair of GFCI outlets at the load side of the assembly. Note many generators include GFCI protection built in.
Light in weight and literally tough as nails: I spent about 5 minutes going at one of these with a one pound iron hammer against the basement concrete slab both assembled and disassembled and I cannot crack or chip the shell, cord grip, face, or even the clear plastic terminal cover. Tough stuff!
