I need to replace the three prong plug on my air compressor. Before I head to Ace, can anyone tell me what size/rating plug I need? Here is a picture of the compressor.

Much appreciated!

Go to ACE and get one of their plastic molded plugs.

Cut your current cord, strip the wires back a bit and assemble.


The biggest grief I encounter when buying a replacement plug is getting
the correct part for the cord diameter. Some plugs have nice, secure
cord clamps, but only work on a limited range of acceptable code
diameters. Some plugs use a collet style cord clamp, but I find these to
be rather poor for any cord that gets much plugging action, although
some of the yellow colored can-shaped plugs with the three-fingered
collet style retainer are actually quite good.
