    Twist lock won't fit into the weatherproof box
    This L5 twist lock won't fit into the weatherproof box. This was the deepest weatherproof box I could find. Any suggestion for an east fix?

    Hi mpz, what is the plug for? May be easiest to change the end out.

    Go to a real electrical supply house. They'll have what you need.
    If not there's always the internet.

    I took the plug with me and went to a real electrical supply house and that's what they gave me, it a pool pump plug, 20 AMP, l5 twist, 115V pump.

    Ouch. That's sad, especially since you had it with you.

    I've never seen an in-use that would accommodate a twist-lock plug. Good luck.

    You must not do many pools then. They almost all do. The depth is usually the issue.
