SPECIFICATIONS:

• Cord Length: 6 feet
• Wire Gauge: 18 AWG
• Number of Conductors: 2
• Cable Type: SJTOW Stranded 105°C
• Plug Type: NEMA 5-15PB (Piggyback)
• Connection Type: NEMA 5-15M/5-15R to ROJ (Remove Outer Jacket) with 2 1/2 inches stripped conductors 3/16 inch
• Maximum Load: 10 Amps at 120 Volts AC

HOW TO USE:

1. Connect to Power Outlet: Plug the male end (NEMA 5-15M) of the piggyback cord into a standard 120V AC power outlet.
2. Connect Your Device: Plug the power cord of your pump or motor into the female receptacle (NEMA 5-15R) of the piggyback cord.
