They are like $4 for the outlets and $6 for the plugs.

Connectors STRAIGHT CORD PLUG
Panel mount power Outlet

I love these and was considering doing this as well Im glad to see someone else try it !!
How did they work out for you ?
I have used them in the music industry for years switchcraft/neutrik connectors.

Still good here, not sure but I guess I've brewed 8-10 batches now and am still happy with them, they make breakdown really easy.

I just rebuilt my BK's element housing so I should post some images of it. The j-box was a little difficult to remove and clean every time so I made a supper simple PVC housing with a switchcraft plug on the end.

You might want to give thisa read too.

I added a 220v light to the box next to the switchcraft plug/receptacle. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Thanks to all for verifying its safety and use for this application.

Look forward to pics of your super simple "improved" connection. I didn't think it could be much better than you already had.

love the light.

Did this on the first set.
i can't remember the exact part names but, i I'm fairly positive it was a 1 1/2" to 1" reducer coupling. 1" extension and a 1" cap.

version 2 is (you can see them on the left... duh)

a 1 1/2" threaded reducer and a 1" threaded cap... a ton simpler.

both were epoxied to the reducers and have silicone on the inside.

I used a waterproof extension box and two covers. Drilled a hole in one cover for the element. I took the rubber washer off the element put the element through the hole and put the washer back on then screwed it into my RIMS tube. Then just secured everything with long enough stainless screws. Then used a waterproof connector for the wire. Was really easy and holds water great with no leaks.
