Flanged inlet to 2-gang box

Yeah, an L14-30 inlet that bolts up to a 2-gang box is practically unobtanium.

The flanged inlets you're looking at are made to mount inside equipment, however, that one has the c-UL-us rating, which means it can be used standalone. (unlike RU which means only as a component of a UL-listed machine).

I've heard of electricians making their own with a hole saw and a steel junction box cover.

This would be a more suitable inlet if used outdoors. It has a waterproof cover. It fits into a 2-1/2 inch knockout on any outdoor box.

The nice thing about McMaster-Carr is they have warehouses everywhere, they were doing the Amazon thing decades before Amazon. So for most people, McMaster is overnight even if you specify ground shipping. Of course, no McMaster Prime so you do have to pay for it.

And they have everything you can ever imagine and their huge hard backed catalog alone costs $15 to ship. :biggrin2:

Agree re McMaster, used them for many years. Whoever built their search engine carries high praise from me. Instant, quick, logical, works. The CAD software I'm using will even import the 3D CAD models from their site automatically. Need a screw, import it, done.
