Converting L5-15 plug to standard 3 prong??

13 years ago

Hello, I just purchased some display cases that have L5-15 plugs on them. Is there an adapter I can buy so that I can plug these into the wall?

Here's two pics. Thanks for your help!!

Either change the plug or make an adapter cable.

The adapter cable will need the female L5-15 and a regular plug.

Changing the plug to a standard one only takes a single part (per replaced plug) and about 10 minutes.
