Albertporter only needs 50

Here is a progress report for all that have participated.

I contacted Hubbell about two weeks ago and ask about the variation in specifications for the 8300HI (20 amp Hospital grade, Ivory color).

I have samples of three versions, each have high quality construction with same electrical specifications, but are constructed from completely different materials and plating and various ground strap designs.

Not commonly known, there is a special version of this outlet that is ALL copper construction, including the back strap, mount ears and current and ground clamps. This particular version has NO plating whatsoever. It is 20 amp, heavy construction and true Hospital grade and is marked as such.

I had a brief argument via email with a manufacturer that told me these were in fact plated, and even though I had a sample, I could not convince him otherwise.

I now have everyone's outlets in hand as of 4:30 this afternoon and they ARE NOT plated. I did have to UPS in a special order, as these were not in stock at any supply houses in Dallas.

I will ship everything Monday the 11th for treatment, and will post here as soon as I know the turn time for the immersion tanks at NASA to complete the process.

Thanks to everyone for remaining patient with me. Needless to say I am excited that the quality of this project is absolutely on target.

Does this transaction qualify for positive feedback? I am inclined to do so if it does.

I would think so. I know I will be doing so. As far as Albert, that would be alot of time for him as far as him leaving feedback for all of us, as I believe there are quite a few of us that participated in this transaction. I personally would not be upset if Albert did not have time to leave me feedback. But he truly deserves positive feedback for undertaking this huge project, in my honest opinion.

I will be giving him positive feedback and would of course like the same if he felt it was positive for him too. But I understand if he doesn't have time and I will give him positive kudos either way.

The shipment of cryo treated Hubbell outlets arrived here Wednesday, November 20th in the afternoon. I finished labels and print outs via FedEx on line very early Thursday AM.

Everyone's shipment will go out at the same time, Thursday, November 21st. I'm hoping several of you will receive your shipment by Thanksgiving.

I have a print out of all ship data by my computer. Anyone not receiving their order in a reasonable period, please email me for your tracking number. Those who included their email addresses with payment are already linked to FedEx notification system .
