Straight Blade 5-20R Receptacle
The Hubbell 2182W is a 20 A decorator duplex receptacle rated for 5-20R NEMA configuration. It is designed for flush mounting in standard electrical boxes and suits residential or light commercial wiring where a grounded, polarised outlet is required. The nylon housing is white and impact resistant.
Before ordering verify wiring compatibility
Confirm the circuit is single phase and protected by a 20 A breaker. The device accepts three wires and two poles, so existing wiring must provide line, neutral and ground conductors. It is not a GFCI unit, so downstream ground fault protection must be provided separately if required by local code. The flush mount style needs a standard single gang box opening.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a passive wiring device the receptacle draws no power and generates no audible noise during normal operation. Temperature rise is limited to normal conduction heating at or below the 20 A rating. The nylon housing and impact resistant construction meet UL 498 and CSA C22.2 standards for safe thermal performance. No active cooling or fan is present.
