In Reply to: Hospital Grade (or industrial) with Copper plugs- PC's and wall plugs posted by lokie on January 18, 2024 at 08:09:54:

in a hospital they use 20 amp heavy duty 120 volt connectors to prevent sparks from occurring on a loose connection out of the wall and goes back in time to an operating room's use of Ether for anesthesia. Ether is still used as 'starting fluid' on a problematic ICE engine so it's very flammable. Read the ingredients on the can, it's basically Ether

Now they use Propofol because it is not nearly as flammable.

You can buy 20 amp wall receptacles at Lowes but I'd look at Home Depot for them first. They won't be Cryo treated but it's still a lot better than the usual 15 amp crap. I have one Cryo treated receptacle but I don't notice much difference from the normal 20 amp ones at all. It only makes you feel secure.

Much ado on the web about nothing
