Replacement plug in for outdoor extension cord
Folks:
I have a heavy duty extension cord, 100', that has a triple female end and one of the plugs has stopped working. So, I want to replace it with an aftermarket triple plug end, but try as I may, I cannot find one. Does anyone know of a triple end replacement end?

One of the receptacles has stopped working?
Since you say this is an outdoor rated cord, have you considered replacing the female end with a 2-gang weatherproof box with two WR duplex receptacles in it and an in-use cover?

Even if you do find one, don't waste your time and money on it.
Get a fantail and a regular end.

(FYI, mind is friggin' blown at how much cheaper things are in the U.S.!)

I'm not much a fan of the fantails, I' d rather use a 2 gang box with a gfci and a duplex. The fantail receptacles wear out too quickly it seems.

This one is...
Defiant 2 ft. In-Line GFCI Cord-30338213 at The Home Depot
Compare that to the cost of a 4x4 box, 2 device taylor cover, GFCI, duplex receptacle (or more likely a decora receptacle so you dont need a special order taylor cover), cabtire connector, 2 ft of cabtire, and a male plug end.
