Just ordered my next three power cord kits, now to wait.....................

Hey Grainger. Kind of an afterthought, but I was just looking at those right-angle Hubbell hospital plugs and in their catalog it says that they are 8-position. So you could do 45 degree increments of anywhere you pleased. Knowing Hubbell's product quality, and compared to the purely audio brands, this plug seems like a good deal.

I agree, Hubbel is an industry standard supplier for power connection devices.  Wherever I have worked the heavy duty connections and day to day AC plugs were all Hubbel.  The short extension cords from MCM will have to do me in the mean time.

The lab I work in has almost entirely Hubbell and Amphenol connectors. My boss takes pride in what we use on the equipment.

Yes, Maxwell_E, when I run the shop we always use Hubbell dead-front plugs on everything.  I swear, you can run over them with a fork-lift and barely scuff them.

I only ever had trouble with one of their later, cheaper models, the clamps for the individual conductors would unscrew themselves over time.  Just got into the habit of replacing them with the dead-fronts straight away.
