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

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!

Muy resistentes genial

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.
