Members jgthatsme Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm drawing a complete blank and I'm on a friend's computer at the moment. There are a couple companies spoken about on this forum every now and then which have varying lenghts of edison to IEC, edison to powercon, and powercon to IEC cords ready to go. Anyone recall what they are??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillESC Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Monoprice is good if you like neoprene jacketed molded cables that don't lay flat or coil well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, on job sites OHSA usually likes to see molded ends, and not cord caps. Not sure of the regulation, but I've had it happen with company safety inspectors as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen any problems with this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Monoprice is good if you like neoprene jacketed molded cables that don't lay flat or coil well.I have ten of the 25' 14 gauge ones and haven't seen any problems coiling or laying them flat. I suppose in the winter letting then get cold they'd get a bit stiff but no worst than any other SJT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen any problems with this regard. Usually they don't bust balls too much about it around here. Problem with the Guaranteed Grounding Programs is the logs you have to keep, and the records you have to be ready to hand over. Seems cheaper to just buy the right cords. I've only seen one guy make a stink about it, and it was because the cord cap strain relief wasn't tight, and the cord was plugged into a non-gfci outlet in an existing part of a building, which is a big no-no in construction. Everything has to be GFCI protected. So bad cord into non-gfci outlet = big fine. I think it was a $3000 dollar fine if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted July 12, 2010 Members Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes, you have to keep records, but if you take care of your gear it's unlikely to be a problem thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
