I've noticed on some generators that the manufacturer has gone from using common duplex receptacles to either just one or sometimes 2 side-by-side outlets. A duplex outlet probably costs the factory less than 25 cents so if they're no longer using them it's likely because they had problems with people plugging in 2-to-1 adapters & shorting out the generator. Can't do that with non-standard spacing. And if you wire up your own pigtail & burn out the gen...it's your own fault (from the viewpoint of the manufacturer).

On that type of adapter...if your generator has 2 phases with one to each of the 110V outlets...won't plugging in the adapter send 220 to your rig? Or short out???
adapter
That's a good question. I would like to know myself. I have a single adapter as well that I could use, just not sure which one is better.
