Item seems well built for plastic. Good design for accessing the back of the connector for wiring. Screw Terminals are hex head type, which is great for tightening the wires.

I purchased this inlet box to go with my Generac 50 AMP generator cable. This inlet box uses a Hubbell connector which I discovered to be superior to the Marinco connector found in the Reliance Controls PB50. The Marinco connector wire nuts we stripped with my unit, I could not tighten them. The nut basically screws onto two threads. The Reliance Controls PBN50 with the Hubbell connector is far superior. The wire nuts are Allen head screws with a size thread depth. The rivet on the PB50 Marinco connector is too large and prevents the Generac CS6364 connector from being inserted. The PBN50 Hubbell connector uses two smaller rivets and had the Generac cable fit perfectly. If you are using a Generac cable, make sure the connector is made by Hubbell.

Very easy to install. Even with 6-3 cable. Rated for outdoors but mine will be out of the weather. It is plastic so I'm not sure how it would hold up in a direct sunlight position in a very hot climate. Perfect for me.

Excellent generator power inlet box
Picked up this reliance inlet box for my new generator setup. I'm an electrician and have installed a ton of reliance generator products and this is by far the best option for a 50 amp inlet box. I highly recommend getting this box over the standard reliance PB50. This box not only has a ton more room to make your connection to the plug, but it also has the receptacle pointing down instead of straight out. This will keep the plug out of the elements and prevent water from seeping by where the receptacle and plug meet. The standard PB50 is about half the size of this box and it's extremely difficult to wire, even if you use flexible SO cord. All in all I'm very happy with the box and highly recommend it you need a 50 amp box for your generator.

    Well built, easy to install, and enough space inside for those hard-to-bend 6 gauge wires! I like the downward facing connector with weather cover, also.

    Outdoor plug for a generator
    It is a very well constructed, easy to install, and having the outlet from below prevents any water to come inside.

    This is a well made device. There's lots of room inside the box to bend the wire leads to enter the plug connectors. The only thing I'm concerned with is the connection on the bottom of the box. When I bought it I thought this would be ideal because there would be no strain on the extension cord when it was plugged in. Now that I've used it a few times testing out my installation I find out it's kind of difficult to plug the cord in because you can't see what you're doing unless you get down on your hands and knees to look up underneath the box to see where the "key" post is. Other than that it's a good buy.

    Plenty of room for wire management. Carful not to loose the cover locking nuts on the rear. They are set into the moulding and fall out easy and are Needed to hold receptacle and cove in place.

    when bending the #6 into the lugs it is very difficult to get the cover back on as the sides of the box flex when folding the #6 back into the unit. Unit works fine otherwise.
