Put them together, as intended.... sure, the assembly is not UL listed - but that's a distinction without a difference. UL certainly has no problem with connecting the cord to the cable. That is exactly the circumstance for which the plug was evaluated. There is absolutely no code, or listing, issue with your assembling something, using materials as intended, in a manner that simulates a manufactured product.

To try to twist words and say otherwise would lead us to conclude that the plugs can never be used, for anything, because the specific 'assembly' is not listed. That's an insane extension of "logic."

UL lists cord and plug sets ... oh, wait, THAT is what we were discussing, isn't it? Yep. UL listed and labeled cord and plug sets.

"To try to twist words" around to fit what you want to post, yeah, I agree "That's an insane extension of "logic." ".

So, why do you do it?
