About This Product

The power inlet box is installed on the exterior of the house near your main electrical panel. Inside, it is hardwired to your manual transfer switch to restore power to your main electrical panel. When the power goes out, you simply connect one end of a power cord to your portable generator outlet. The other end is plugged into the power inlet box.

Questions & Answers

I have my generator wire run to a 4 x 4 box set into the brick on my house. Will this box mount to that 4 x 4 box?

    You could easily mount it over a box that size yes, simply drill the box cover hole pattern into the back wall of this box and mount over the top. It will stick out from the wall of course and you may need a bit extra wire length to reach the back of the connector but should function perfectly.

      Does the male connection (where you plug the power cord from the generator) face outward away from the house, or downward toward the ground?

            Does it accept aluminum wire to connect to the main electrical panel?

            I already had an electrician run aluminum wire from the panel to the garage where the power inlet box will be located. Do the lugs on your product accept aluminum wire?

              It is important that your wiring is provided in accordance with any local codes that apply to your area. To ensure that you are able to install the correct wiring, we would recommend working with a certified electrician in your local area. For help locating a certified party closest to you, give us a call at 888-GENERAC (436-3722).

                Good sturdy box with (almost) everything you need
                This socket contains the internal receptacle and flip lid. The only thing you need to add is 4 mounting screws and a single wire nut (and of course the 10/3 cable to take the power top your transfer switch). These items are typically available to anyone doing this type of work so I don't see that as a negative at all. Mounting and installation was easy. Since I was at the limit of my 50' length of cable I mounted the receptacle on the wall after connecting the wire inside the box - giving me more room to work on the connections without having to waste any cable. I then worked back to the transfer switch inside.
