Jim's Recommendation
This is a good power inlet box if you need 30 amps. This product is a bit bulkier than some of the other options, but certainly gets the jobs done. Some people actually prefer the extra room so you can get your hands in there and move around when wiring it for use.

Midwest Electric 30-Amp (4-Prong) Power Inlet Box Review
I bought this for my house. It is a serviceable box at a decent price. After installing it I think I might have been better off buying the more expensive Reliance version for $20 more, since I like their gasketed cover. Still, it did install fairly easily and I don't plan on changing it. I would call it "builders grade."

30 Amp Inlet Box Easy to Install - Knockout Near Bottom Of Box
This Midwest Electric 30 amp inlet box worked out beautifully.
At first I thought it was the maybe too large and the wrong shape for my house because I was installing it from a crawl space. As it turns out the electrical knockout was near the BOTTOM of the box, so I was able to drill a hole just above the sill plate and mount the box vertically near the bottom of my cedar tongue-in-groove siding. It's a very good design. The Twist Lock Connector fit was perfect too.

NEVER AGAIN
The Halloween snow storm was my 2nd time with losing power for 5 days. I will never again go without power again. Freezing, eating out, throwing out everything in frig and just the whole inconvenience of it. I purchased a Honeywell 6500 generator and had my house wired. This was the best insurance I have in case it happens again. I am very pleased with the generator and the price was great and delivery was right on time.

I mounted the box in the garage. It was easy to mount and plenty of room for wires. I would buy again.

This is just one of many things I have ordered from this company. I had looked into being a Generac distributor and found it to be alot less expensive to buy from Electric Generators Direct than from Generac directly. As a contractor I have had only good luck with this company.
From 20 kw generators to small transfer switches --I would not hesitate to order from these people.

I really like this unit. It is easy to install and looks great on outside wall. I have had nothing but the best service anyone could ask.
Speaking of asking: when I asked Bob he was never in a hurry and gave me all the time I felt necessary to answer all my questions mostly about the Briggs & Stratton model #30471 generator I'll be buying sometime this week.
I'll be doing business with this company in the future. Hope this helps anyone who reads.

Power Inlet Box Installation
Excellent product which did meet the local electrical code requiring a weather tight box and upward sloping plug in method features (rectangular boxes with spring loaded covers do not meet our local codes). However, the box did not come with an installed grounding lug, or a threaded hole designed for a pigtail ground.
I would assume that if continuous metal conduit is used to connect to the transfer switch and load center, a separate grounding connection to the box might not be required. However, I used PVC so I needed one. I did have to scrape off a bit of paint inside the box around the bottom drain hole area and installed a single ground lug secured with a screw, lock washer (required), and nut. A short length of #10 bare wire from it was then side by side connected to the bare conductor of the power input cable by a crimped copper sleeve to complete the installation. Take care to connect the cable wires to the correct positions in the socket component!
The required electrical inspection in our suburban area went flawlessly, and he was even "specially pleased" with the details of the installation!

30-Amp Power Inlet Box
The box arrived sooner than expected, well packed and I installed it without any problems.
The big advantages this model has against the hardware stores models are the cover to protect the connection from the weather, the lock to restrict its access while is not being used, and the price that was great!
Thank You!

Great item for the price
Very nice and well built. A snap to install.
Since this plug will usually be out of service, I like the fact you can place a padlock on it to keep little fingers from opening the cover and contacting the plug.
Also, you can even lock it with the cord plugged in. Great item for the price.

Very Satisfied
I ordered two, and have installed one already with the other to be done shortly.
I recommended them to a friend who has ordered his and received it.
We are both very satisfied with quality, price, and design.

Well Built And A Great Value
This was a super simple installation with a well built box, and a great value, but a I did have a couple small concerns...
1. To use the most logical knock out on the back of the unit (at least for the clamps that I had on hand) you will need to put the clamp in on the inside and use a small spacer washer inside in order for the box to sit flush to the wall. It's not a big deal really, but odd design in my opinion.
2. This probably won't matter to most, but the opening in the bottom that I first thought to be a great idea so that I could have the unit closed while a plug was connected MIGHT end up being a problem.
My box is installed near a flower garden that gets a LOT of bee traffic, and the box MIGHT be a good home for them.
I'll probably at least tape it closed in the summer to keep them out just in case. Just something to think about if you're shopping for a power inlet box...
Don't get me wrong, I'd buy the same box again if I needed one, just thought I'd share that info...
(That black wire in the picture has nothing to do with this installation!)
