Hubbell L5-20R Locking Connector
The Hubbell HBL23CM13 is a twist-lock connector rated for 20 A at 125 V. Its yellow nylon housing resists impact and chemicals while the ribbed surface ensures a firm grip during installation. A superior cord grip design protects internal terminations from strain. An integral dust shield keeps the wiring chamber free of contaminants.
Installers needing a 20 A 125 V twist-lock plug
This connector suits electricians and technicians who require a secure L5-20R locking interface for 125 V circuits up to 20 A. The yellow housing aids quick identification on site. Buyers who need a different amperage, voltage rating, or a non-locking straight-blade configuration should look at other options.

Questions about this item
What panel cut-out or mounting dimensions does the HBL23CM13 locking connector require?
The connector uses a standard L5-20R twist-lock body that fits industry-standard panel openings for 20 A 125 V devices; the ribbed nylon housing adds grip but does not change the mounting footprint.
How is the cord secured during installation, and what step is often missed?
The superior cord-grip design clamps the cable jacket to protect terminations from strain; the step often missed is fully tightening the grip screws after wiring so the shield stays seated.
What part will need replacement first in a dusty environment?
The integral dust shield protects the wiring chamber; if it cracks or loses its seal, contaminants can enter, so inspect the shield periodically and replace the connector when the shield no longer seats tightly.
