15 Amp 125 Volt, Straight Blade Rubber Plug, NEMA 5-15, 515PR Black

Solid replacement plug.

Got this to replace the plug on a 12 gauge extension cord, works as it should, wires were relatively easy to install and held firm. Screws held the strain relief and covers securely.

I had a 50 ft extension cord take some damage in the middle, and instead of trying to repair it, decided to make two smaller extension cords, so I bought this male plug and the female Leviton 515CR version. The outlets are definitely larger than the machined ends, but that is required since you have to access the screw terminals to make the connections. The quality is fine and supposedly better than some of the cheaper brands out there that get bad reviews. For me the extra price is worth it. I want to do this one time and be done. I use extension cords all the time, and I don't want to have to worry about the quality of the connector or have a failed install and have to start all over again with a different connector. It's a lot more expensive to make an outlet that a human installs than an outlet that a machine can put on, but it's easy to make an inferior and cheaply made outlet for less money. Unfortunately, the price for the male and female ends are not a lot less than the price for a new extension cord, but I'd rather not through away perfectly good cable that has damage in one spot. You get what you pay for and these appear to be well constructed. As far as weatherproof, I feel they have done the best they can. Nothing beats a machined end for water tightness at the back of terminal. They use a cable clamp on the back end of the outlet to hold the cable in place and so you don't stress the screw terminals. Even at the appropriate tightness, I believe some water could enter the back of the terminal. I don't think that's avoidable, and in my opinion does not detract from the quality of the connector.

Very satisfied with this purchase. Fixed my 50ft 12g extension cord that had a broken ground prong on the male end. The repair was simple and obvious for a long-time DIY'r like me. You shouldn't expose too much of the internal cables insulation. Only remove about a half inch of outer casing past where the wires are stripped. My cord had cable wire (not solid) so I simply removed the screw with the small clamping piece, wrapped the exposed wire around the screw, and reclamped. The color scheme of the screws is traditional. This resulted in a strong connection for each cable. The rear half of the plug was previously placed on the round extension cord without problems. This piece has a grommet like rubber seal inside to resist water entry. When the pieces are brought together they only fit one way due to a tab and slot combo. The pieces are then screwed together, and the end is clamped to the cord. The clamp had covered screw ends which is nice when pulling the plug out or putting it in. The final result felt very solid. Not a cheap feel at all and it was better than I expected at this price. However I can't say it's waterproof because where the pieces come together is not sealed. It's a very nice tight fit, but not sealed. So I'd say it was "splash proof". You could probably* waterproof it if you want to by completely filling the inside with silicon adhesive before mating the two halves together (*disclaimer: I'm not an electrician so this is just an opinion). So this should be a repair that lasts as long as the cord will... longer probably. Leviton quality at a great price.

Went together well. The hole seals a 14 ga. Extension cord nice. The 12ga. Is a snug fit.

needed this because I'm an idiot and I ran over my extension cord with the lawn mower. this worked out perfect easy to use works well.

pro-level product, very strong, great insert fit for my Oregon 120V chainsaw

Worked well namebrand

I recently picked up an electric fireplace that had a major red flag: the ground pin was completely cut off. For a 2,000W appliance, that’s a massive safety hazard I wasn't willing to ignore. I bought this rubber plug to fix the issue. The plug itself feels incredibly rugged. The rubber housing provides a great grip and feels like it can handle heavy use. It’s a professional-grade replacement that gives me way more peace of mind than the damaged original. Installation was smooth and straightforward, though be warned: it doesn't come with instructions. If you aren't an electrician, you’ll want to look up the Leviton wiring PDF like I did. To save you a search, the Green Wire goes to the Green Screw, the White Wire goes to the Silver Screw, and the Black Wire goes to the Brass Screw. I used a Robertson and a flat-head screwdriver to get everything tightened down. Everything fit perfectly, and the connection feels rock-solid. If you need to repair a heavy-duty cord or add a ground back to a high-wattage appliance, this is the way to go. Highly recommended!

everything is in perfect order, I recommend this seller

Really impressed with this connector! Very well made, good terminals with screws and a nice "clamp down" on the wire (rear of plug). Robust enough to be easy to grab with gloves or mitts, this connector was my choice to repair several extension cords that had seen years of use. The only negative I had was to realize that the 3 screws that fasten the front of the plug to the rear are in a pattern so as to fit one way. I thought the three screws were in a equal triangle but they are not. This ate up some time and I stripped out some plastic and ruined one mounting hole (totally my own fault). Otherwise Recommended

Excelente producto y buena calidad
