Flush mount receptacles and Twist lock plugs
Does anyone know where I can get a decent deal on these for 40a, 30a, and 20a? The usual places inside HRM like Kent and HD don't have what I want and Harris and roome charges an arm and a leg. Any suggestions within HRM or eleswhere?

Re: Flush mount receptacles and Twist lock plugs
Good luck finding that receptacle here. Those plugs and connector may be found at Princess Auto, Kent, or Home Depot but are pricey. I got mine off of Ebay for way cheaper.
A tip for ya: You will likely be able to find the 4 prong plugs for cheaper since that's what is used for generator cords and are fairly plentiful. Just don't use one of the leads. That's what I use for my BK.

Re: Flush mount receptacles and Twist lock plugs
Marine supply stores also sell that kind of gear, but as above, be prepared for sticker shock. Not from experience, just guessing...

Re: Flush mount receptacles and Twist lock plugs
Do you know any electrical contractors who could pick them up as part of one of their jobs? Usually a bit better price than walking in off the street.

Re: Flush mount receptacles and Twist lock plugs
We just bought some power bars at work using twist lock connectors that were somewhat reasonable (~$50 a pop, which is cheap for industrial power bars). Not sure if they sell the connectors as well, but I believe the supplier was Hammond Manufacturing. Hopefully that helps.

You don't need anything that heavy-duty for the pump.
