So, you want to run a low voltage to remotely turn on an outlet? Well, then this product is ALMOST what you need. By default, if you plug in the MP-15, its outlets are already ON, not off. When you supply the low voltage signal, the outlets turn off. This is opposite of how the Amazon product title (... Remote Turn-on from Momentary or Maintained Contact Switches) is written. Very misleading. It is opposite of what I need. I even called product support at Furman and inquired whether there might possibly be internal jumpers that could control the sensing polarity, but, alas, they were too short-sighted to think of such a need.
Internally, there is a Song Chuan 832A-1A-C-12VDC relay. That is a normally open (NO) relay. What is really needed is a single-pole, double throw (SPDT) relay with a jumper or switch to allow you to pick the polarity. I'm planning on modifying my MP-15 and swapping in a 832A-1C-C-12VDC relay and rewiring it to get the polarity I need. Lucky that I am skilled with a soldering iron...

Not much to say about this device other than it works well. It's sturdy, comes with a really long power cord, and works as expected. I purchased this along with the Floodstop. I went for the 15amp over the 20amp because although the breaker switch is rated at 20amps, the terminals are 15amp style. Washers typically use 10amps anyway, which is the only thing I'll have plugged into the Thurman.

After reading several other reviews and having experienced a washing machine leak that was not caused by the hoses I decided to purchase the Furman MP-15A Power Relay accessory. I am a semi-retired electrician and I still keep up with the codes. The 2008 National Electrical Code requires tamper-resistant receptacles almost everywhere in dwelling units, so I was not going to install a new device without that, especially where only one half of a duplex receptacle would be used. Taking the unit apart and replacing the receptacle was a bit of a challange. The screws on the backplate were in so tight they required an easy-out to remove them. Purchasing the very small metric screws wasn't easy either. Replacing the outlet was not too bad considering the tight space.
The other improvement needed was to have a right-angle cord cap. The existing receptacle for the washing machine is behind it and the machine has a right-angle cord cap on it's cord. Using the straight one would cause the cord to bend excessively to allow the washer to be pushed back into place. This was simple enough to do and I shortened the cord at the same time. I applaud Furman for putting a long cord on this device, but it was more than I needed at this time.
Once installed in conjunction with a Floodstop Washing Machine Valve Shutoff Kit everything worked flawlessly. The only things preventing a fifth star is the two needed improvements mentioned above. All in all I would recommend the MP-15.
