Sadly this is no longer the case in 2021 - the recent FRAM P8043 I picked up doesn't have a 1/4 npt outlet, it's a knockoff of the baldwin BF5587-D now. I haven't tried to ID the specific thread.

I'm going to get into the details of the national electric code, and how it applies to optional standby generators and automatic transfer switches later. For now - yes, it's entirely possible. Generators are sized on -load- not service. It requires load calculations (the same ones you use...
