Letrical Question

[JMorris271]

While working around my tank, I stepped on the plug of a WP 40 and broke off the ground. Can I remove this plug and replace it with another sealed plug or am I out of a WP 40? :smurf:

Thanks

I'd cut the end off, go to the hardware store and get a new end to put on. They're cheap and easy to install. After you tighten the screw terminals, wiggle the wire a little bit, and tighten one more time.

That was my plan but I have read in the past that this could not be done as it would make the pump inoperable. I was basing my question on that. Just double checking.

Unless there's something Im not aware of with the device itself, but a 3 conductor power cord is pretty standard. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

A grounded plug is a grounded plug is a.......

Unless you are in Europe or another of those weird places that use another style. Even then, it will be standard for there.

Black wire on the copper screw, white wire on the silver screw, Green wire on the green screw.

I owned 3 WP40. It's just a standard computer power cord. You can replace it for a few buck.

I don't think you even have to cut it do you? Just buy a new cord off amazon. Just search "computer power cord". I think they are like 5 bucks.
