Good idea, bad execution

This works well if you know it will fit in your light box. It seemed to fit mine but found mine had a bracket inside to mount an existing jig. I didn't like the design where one screw goes through the socket and all the adapters go into the mounting box. It would be better if you screwed on the adapter plate and then screwed on the plate and base separately. I received it with some major changes. It works. It probably doesn't fit the code.

Pros
  • Conforms to NEC 2008 Article 406. 8 (B)
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

For reasons that are unclear, Revain claims that this product is "frequently purchased with the Hubbell-Bell PRBA400G Round Box Adapter", when clearly this product (Intermatic WP3103C) has an almost identical adapter in the box. You do NOT need to buy a second adapter plate. That being said, the adapter plate and "used" socket works very well outdoors, typically for removing a wall light installed outdoors and using this device to connect Christmas lights around your home. So you can turn on…

Pros
  • Sturdy polycarbonate construction
Cons
  • Minor issues

Product is good but the picture is a bit misleading

Product is good but the picture is a bit misleading. I also thought I would get a junction box. The photo clearly shows a round junction box. Be careful when purchasing this product as you will not receive a junction box.

Pros
  • Packed with 3 patented inserts for GFCI, duplex, switched or round jacks
Cons
  • Older model

There were numerous issues with this product, the mounting plate holes did not match the wall box already installed match. The outlet was too small for a standard GFI outlet and I had to open the top and bottom. There seems to be a lack of quality control, or maybe just poor design in general.

Pros
  • Conforms to NEC 2008 Article 406. 8 (B)
Cons
  • Expensive

  • 3/0 Adapter Plate for 3" Round Boxes Single Vertical or Horizontal with Flexi-Guard Inserts (WP17), 2-3/4" Deep, Clear
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something there
