50 amp 90 degree connector where to buy

[waterfowlhunter]

I am trying to purchase a 50 amp 90 degree connector for my Montana. My cord it fine but the connector is bad and rather than replacing it with another straight 50 amp female connector I want to go with a 90 degree version so that the cable hangs straight down. anyone know where I can find one please post or send me the link?

Yes, they say that it is not listed in their catalog

Sounds like the adapter is the only way to go.:(

Thanks for all the input.

Really disappointing but I have a big RV dealer I plan to stop by on Tuesday and see if they can point me to one. If not Amazon will be shipping me the adapter.

I retired from Hubbell after 44 years and they do not make one.

I looked through some of the older MH magazines to no avail.
I know there was an add for the right angle connector, somewhere!

Thanks for those who also share the interest in doing this. It is one of those things where I know it is possible but just can not find the source and it bothers me. I have been looking into this for about 6 months and have nothing. I was even considering selling my current cord and buying the one with a 90 on it but that defeats my stubborn personality and I will not allow that to happen.

I'm intrested if you actually find one.
I googled for an hour and found nothing.
Seems it should be a simple task for a simple product.
When I'm ready I will buy the pre-made cord with the right angle plug and put a $15 regular female plug on the cable I use now and use that cable as a 30' extension for when I can't reach.

Make sure you update when you find the pot o gold.

It would always be attach as one unit.
Just a thought

It might be easier to some as mentioned several times but if I can do it the way I want to It would actually be "easier". I have to replace the end anyway so replacing it with a 90 degree end is easier than replacing it with a straight end then adding on the 90 degree adapter to me anyway.

But if I can not find the 90 connector I will be adding the adapter to my amazon cart.

Well currently happy with my straight connector, but if you do find one please post back might be a nice addition to the shore cable.

I believe that is a 50 amp 90º female twist-lok cord cap - should be able to find it at Graingers, if one is in your area. If not, try an electrical supply house - they are generally wholesale only, but they will be able to send you to the proper place.

Don't think those were made specifically for a 5th wheel - we electricians use them for many other things. You might stop in at a local electrical contractor and explain what you are looking for. They will go straight to the NEMA Twist lock chart and find it from there.

I tried Grainger, they carry the Hubble brand and want over $300 for the straight connector and that is with my electrical company discount. Then they got an attitude with me when I told them the straight ones at Amazon are under $40 at times. They also refused to even try to research a 90 degree one for me. They lost most of our business due to their attitude with me on this. I have also checked several marine suppliers and have found some 90 degree connectors that fit but only are 3 wire and do not have the outer ground connection only the 3 blade connections.

Please delete this, my bad. I just realized my response was not on this forum. My mistake. 🙂

A question for the moderators, yesterday I posted a response to this thread and today it is gone, not there. Why is it my responses seem to disappear like that, this is not the 1st time, I have noticed this several times when I decide to follow a thread that my response has vanished. Am I doing something wrong? TIA 🙂
