I am in a space that is about 16 years old (not that old overall) and has 3 theaters. All with similar problems.
The lighting distro has many circuit boxes with panel mounted stage pin receptacles. I have been having problems with many of the panel receptacles pulling out. The small flags to help stabilize the receptacles appear to be bent and/or rusted. Some receptacles have melted as well but that may or may not be related.
Our cable inventory has a variety of connectors: pintech, Bates, Propin, union, etc... So I am sure that is contributing to the issues as well as the high humidity levels in the summer.
I am in a position to replace the receptacles but it seems like just replacing them will result in needing to replace them again in the future.
Any thoughts or advice from you all out there? Attaching some photos.
