Straight Blade Receptacle 5-15R

The Hubbell HBL5251 is a single-gang grounded receptacle rated for 15 A at 125 V AC. It fits a standard flush-mount box and uses a brown PBT polyester housing. The NEMA 5-15R configuration accepts common two-pole three-wire plugs for general-purpose branch circuits.

Replaces worn or damaged 15 A outlets

Swap this in when an existing duplex or single receptacle shows cracked housing, loose contacts or failed grounding. The jump is worth it if the old device no longer holds plugs firmly or shows discoloration from heat. It meets CSA C22.2 No. 42, Federal Specification W-C-596 and NEMA WD-6 for direct replacement in residential and light-commercial wiring.

Limited to 15 A single-phase loads on 125 V AC

The NEMA 1 enclosure rating means indoor dry-location use only. It is not GFCI protected, so downstream ground-fault protection must come from a breaker or upstream device. The single receptacle supplies one outlet point; multi-outlet or higher-amperage circuits need a different device.

Questions about this item

What wall-box depth does the HBL5251 flush-mount receptacle require?

The HBL5251 is a flush-mount device; it fits a standard single-gang wall box with a minimum depth of 1-1/2 inches to meet code for 15 A wiring.

Which step is often missed when wiring the 5-15R terminals on the HBL5251?

Connect the green or bare ground wire to the green grounding screw first, then attach the white neutral to the silver terminal and the black hot to the brass terminal; skipping the ground connection is the common error.

When should the brown PBT polyester receptacle be replaced?

Replace the HBL5251 if the face cracks, plugs fit loosely, the grounding clip loses tension, or the device shows discoloration from heat — any of these indicate the 15 A, 125 V rating can no longer be maintained safely.
