Outdoor quick connect

[Smash]

Does anyone know if they make an outdoor voltage disconnect for SJ cord ? I’d like to disconnect outdoor lights individually for service without a junction box on the outside. 208V

Maybe just a GFCI receptacle with an in-use cover, and you plug them in / out.

yeah. it's called a cord end.

SJ cord cannot be permenantly installed to replace permenant wiring - 400.12(1). as soon as you attach it to a structure, you're in violation of the NEC - 400.12(4).

Agreed. I like the old Daniel Woodhead (Molex) watertight plugs and outlets, they have an interlocking rubber cover on both parts and a corresponding outlet cover.

I guess I will have to invent one because it’s surprising that they’re not available. It does not violate any code it’s an inline service disconnect it’s available 100 different ways for various lighting. Just make it outdoor almost like an underground splice kit that can be plugged in and out. Cord and plug are expensive and time consuming hence the title Quick Connect.
