Industrial Straight-Blade Plug
The Hubbell HBL5865VY is a 15 A 125 V non-grounding plug built for commercial and industrial wiring tasks. Its hinged one-piece nylon body simplifies field assembly and resists corrosion in harsh environments.
Replacing Worn Non-Grounding Plugs
This plug replaces damaged 1-15P straight-blade connectors on tools, appliances or extension cords where grounding is not required. The upgrade is worth it when the original housing cracks, blades loosen or the cord clamp fails to retain conductors securely.
NEMA 1-15P Interface Limits
The NEMA 1-15P configuration accepts only two conductors and provides no equipment ground path, so it cannot serve devices that require grounding for safety. Cord diameter must stay between .218 in and .385 in, and wire gauge is limited to 18 AWG through 14 AWG stranded copper. Operating temperature range spans -40°C to 75°C, and dielectric strength is rated at 2000V minimum.
