Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet for use behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation. SPT-3 is the thickest, so it is less flexible but more durable than -1 and -2 cords.

Plug these cords into fans that have quick-disconnect terminals. The industry designation is SPT, so they have a flat cord shape.

Cords with a 90° elbow socket fit flush against the fan, so they fit in tight spaces.

Cords with a 45° elbow socket fit close against the fan.

Cords with an on/off thumb control can be manually turned on and off to regulate equipment temperature. Those with a temperature switch turn a fan on when the temperature reaches 88° F and off when it falls to 80° F. They are not adjustable.
