Matching holes drilled in plug and outlet. A peg or nail inserted and glued in the hole on the plug which prevents it from being inserted elsewhere except the outlet with the hole in it that accepts the peg. Follow?

I seemed to gather some interest when I posted in another thread showing the housing for my elements that had switchcraft's outlets installed in them. I received a few PMs asking questions about them and in a thread asking what regrets people had after going with an electric system I saw more...

We are going to need to see some pictures of this, for education purposes of course.

If the strike water for batch 2 was heated in a cooler with an element installed in it which was powered by a 15amp (better yet 20amp) 120v wall outlet, I would think that you could reach strike temperature in less then a one hour boil. Sparge water could be preheated from water exiting the...

Sorry, who's "they," WV's ABC?

None of mine had a problem but I think JRems described the same/similar problem with one of his and was able to correct it with a metal file on the locking part…or something. PM him and ask, it sounded like a quick fix it’s the same issue.

I have a 4.5k watt ULWD element in my 14 gallon BK because I thought I'd have a problem fitting a ripple type in my flat bottom kettle. I run it at 90% and my boil off is less then what I got with direct fire propane. I think that you could start with 13 gallons pre boil and not have a problem...

Fast-on are the blade connections, I I'm trying to attach an image but if it's not there follow the link. http://www.wiringproducts.com/contents/media/1107h-outlined.jpg

I think that that was in references to Speakon products by Neutrik Inc who developed this plug pattern. Switchcraft’s plug pattern is compatible (same male>female configuration) and are sometimes generically referred to Speakon plugs and/or outlets but they do not have the same specs. I...

Kal, this was the responce from switchcraft's engineering regarding their HPCC4F & HPCP41F outlets and plugs, did I not ask the right question or miss something in their responce? (My question is on the bottom). Linda Schlie [email protected] Feb 24 to me We have received...

That should be true. Also, I might have implied that switchcraft designed this type of connection; they did not. They just make a less expensive version, mouser is a dealer for the company that did (it's name escapes me at the moment) but it was a dollars or two more so I went w/ switchcraft...

I didn't look into that, I have a hard wired 10/4 coming out of my spa panel to my CP and then two 10/3 lengths from the CP the power the elements so nothing for me to confuse. I kept the basic wall plugs for my pumps. I guess I'd use different color e-tape and labels to keep it all straight

Yes, even though it is a male plug the contacts are on the inside of the barrle and are not exposed, male or female, cord end or panle mount this type of conection keeps all of the contaacts safely covered. It is not uncomen to do "hot patches" wirh these at an events such as rock shows when a...

I think you'll be happy with them, the twist locks are big and expensive. As you can see my CP is very small, that was partly possible because I used these outlets. My whole set up is influence by the event business (corporate events, rock concerts, weddings) that I use to do audio and lighting...

Dubble post.

I'm going to say no, they are not waterproof but splash proof maybe, the contacts are on the inside of the barrel on the plug so it would take a lot of water to short them, more then a boil over or a loose hose. The panel mounts are not meant to take a lot water, I've used the straight cord...

Specific what elements are you using?

Yes, push in to lock and they have a triger button on the plug. You can see in the image, it's the white metal on the very top on the plug.

They are rated for this application; follow the links to see the specs. To be sure I double check w/ switchcraft and they confirmed they are good for exactly what I had in mind and I've never had a problem so far they don't even get warm... They are like $4 for the outlets and $6 for the plugs...

Here are my element inclosure, the thing the sets mine apart is the use of the Switchcraft plugs and outlets. I use to use then when I did audio and lighting for events, they are solid and small so I could install then on my "Kal boxes" which helps for disassemble.
