Ratings & Reviews for Utilitech 30-Amp 125-Volt NEMA Tt-30p 3-wire Grounding Heavy-duty Straight Plug, Black

Screw terminals too small for 10 AWG stranded.

The overall design of this TT-30P plug should be reviewed and revised. Most important is that when using #10 AWG stranded wire, the screws that hold the conductors in place are way too small. The head has a flanged area that acts as a built in washer. When the terminal screw is tightened the strands partially squish-out and there's only pressure on about 3/4 of the strands. Extreme care needs to be taken to minimize this from happening. The screw head is too small to assure 100% capture of the...

Ok for smaller wire 12# or 14#

Too small inside could not attach 10 # stranded wire to lugs will return for refund

Poor quality

This is a very cheap made receptacle. I will not buy this again.

Low quality

Had to add my own washers on screws to hold wires. Person who designed this never used it. The super long strain relief screws stab you. Lowes should find a quality one to sell Buy a better one if you can

Poor design

10 gauge stranded wire, which is needed for 30 amps cannot be tightened down on the terminals. Stranded wire spreads while tightening down on screw. No room under the cover for 10 gauge wire. Very poor design.

You can find the same item for less at their compe

It was very similar to the one I saw at the first store I went to buy didn't have time to make it there Lowes was open later so I went there and I found this item for $5.00 more then the first store I went to.

Perfect fit and price

never received or delivered

Lowes delivery ducks.......

This plug saved me a lot of money and was very easy to install

the hard plastic will likely breat with moderate u

this plug is designed for solid wire and RVs use a stranded conductor. it's a nearly impossible task to capture all strands for a #10 wire under the head of a screw . it needs a lug type conection

To small of package for 10 gauge stranded wire.

Cheap, trying to connect 10 Ga stranded wire for a 30 amp service and the connection terminals are really bad, Head is way to small to accommodate the wire size needed. Termination for the wire is the worst I have seen. Will return.

Only for experienced electrician

Difficult to make a good connection with stranded wire to the prong terminals

Not water proof or water resistant.

Despite being a power plug for a 30 amp RV and will be used outside and exposed to wet conditions it does not provide a seal to keep out water. It should also offer instructions as to best practices in wiring this heavy guage wire to the terminals.

Annoyed but it works

These need to be made waterproof super annoying that they aren't

Very Poor Design

Like the many other reviews, this plug is a terrible design. Very inadequate room for 10 gauge wire to be hooked up neatly and safely under the cover. As well there's no apparent resistance to water penetration as it should be for an RV plug. Find another one to purchase.

Good replacement part

Very small area to get the wires into the connector. I'd recommend attempting to use a terminal connector but I don't think the area is large enough. I'd also recommend the manufacturer place another plate to allow the screw to make good contact with the wires.
