Male Grip Plug - Black
$6.99
Product details
Part 32-5604-61 is a molded male grip plug in black, the end of a vacuum's power cord that plugs into the wall outlet.
Grip plugs like this one are built with a wider molded body than a bare cord-cap plug, giving you more surface to hold onto when pulling it out of an outlet instead of tugging on the cord itself, which is what stresses and eventually breaks the wire connections inside a standard plug over time. The wider body also makes it easier to grip and remove one-handed, which matters on a cord you are plugging and unplugging every time you vacuum.
- Part: 32-5604-61, male grip plug
- Color: black
- Type: molded grip-style cord end plug
- Use: replaces a cracked, loose, or overheated plug at the wall end of a vacuum cord
- Check before ordering: wire gauge and prong spacing on your existing cord
A plug that has gone loose in outlets, feels warm to the touch during use, or has a cracked housing should be replaced rather than taped over, since a compromised plug is an electrical hazard as much as a nuisance. Check the wire gauge and prong spacing on your existing cord before ordering, since grip plugs are not sized identically across every cord, and a mismatched fit will not seat securely in the outlet. Strip and reconnect the wire leads carefully when you make the swap, matching each wire to its original terminal, since a reversed connection at the plug is a common source of intermittent power on a cord that was otherwise fine.
