Cooper Wiring CR20W 20A Receptacle
The Cooper Wiring CR20W is a commercial-grade single receptacle rated for 20 amps. It is intended for electricians and facility managers who need a durable wiring device for standard branch circuits. The white finish suits typical interior installations.
Installation checks before ordering
Verify that the circuit is protected by a 20A breaker and wired with conductors suitable for the load. The side terminals accept up to #10 solid or stranded wire. An automatic grounding system removes the need for a separate bonding jumper when mounted in a grounded metal box. The split-circuit break-off tab allows separate feeding of the two outlets if required.
Upgrade considerations
This device replaces worn or non-grounding receptacles on 20A circuits. The triple-wipe line contacts and double-wipe ground contacts improve connection reliability over older designs. The 0.050" thick zinc-plated steel strap adds corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The jump is worthwhile when the existing outlet shows heat damage, loose plug retention or lacks a grounding path.
