|
|
I went to install the power cord in my kettle yesterday only to realize that the Ace 2-gang box purchased through the Amazon link provided does not have a 3/4" hole to match the 3/4" cord grip.
Of course, I'm dumb, and it clearly states in Kal's directions that the box should have a 3/4" hole, but still just an FYI.
I ordered a 1/2" cord grip (McMaster Part # 7529K181) for the same wire diameter that should solve the issue.

Or you do like me. I swore out loud. Drilled out the 1/2 hole and rubber malted the cord grip threads into the box. Jb welded and called it a belligerent work around. No honestly buying the other grip is the smart move.

I spat Mountain Dew on my keyboard.

I noticed that Amazon was showing related product too. I'm glad someone else said something, I was starting to get paranoid

It's been like that for a while - I was seeing the "Kal series" of products being suggested by amazon when I first found this site just before the new year.
We see a lot of faces on the forums, but I wonder how many electric brewery clones are being built annonymously? Surely must be quite a few for amazon to be showing all the related items in the "customers who bought this also bought..." list.
