NEMA 6-50P Extension Cord Prong Protector
- Thread starter Wamsutta
- Start date
Know anyone who has bought any small appliances lately? Seems I usually throw these out when i unbox a toaster or something.
Edit: know anyone with a 3D printer?Hi PCustoms. I'm trying to protect my huge behemoth 6AWG extension cord. It has NEMA 6-50 plugs for plugging into a 240V outlet.
I cringe every time the plug flips over and skids across the concrete while I'm rolling up the cord.

Where are you seeing anything about 6-15?You sure it's a 6-15P?
6awg and 6-15p seems like an odd combo.
Regardless, know anyone with a 3D printer?
Well damn.Where are you seeing anything about 6-15?
Need coffee.
In my defense the OP link was clearly a 5-15p

Been dragging welder power cables around for 50+ years and never ruined a plug. My question is why

5-15 and 6-50 look the same though. Hard to tell without scale. But the listing is 6-50, so it might have been a stock photoWell damn.

I wouldn't worry about it that much, just be careful and it will be fine. Walk towards it while rolling it up and it won't dragHi PCustoms. I'm trying to protect my huge behemoth 6AWG extension cord. It has NEMA 6-50 plugs for plugging into a 240V outlet.

I wouldn't worry about it one bit. If it's a good quality plug you're unlikely to damage it. Heck, why not just roll the cord up from the other end so you always have control of the male plug?
Lock out tag out box will do the trick
Funny, I was thinking about a Crown Royal bag too!

Get yourself a bottle of Crown Royal and use the bag to protect the plug. If it is still bothering you, drink the Crown Royal.

Drill some holes into a block of hardwood
as I was reading along, I thought about getting creative with a wood block , but previous poster beat me to it .
but seriously, 6-50 are robust , I don't get at all concerned with damaging them
