Industrial Locking Plug L15-20P
The Hubbell HBL2421 is a NEMA L15-20P locking plug rated for 20 A at 250 V AC. It provides a secure three-pole, four-wire connection for industrial equipment requiring a twist-lock interface. The nylon housing and brass blades resist chemicals and impact. This plug suits installers who need a durable, certified termination for high-current circuits.
Cord Grip Range and Terminal Limits
The device accepts cable diameters from .350 in to 1.150 in, covering 16 AWG to 8 AWG stranded copper conductors. Screw terminals use a standard wiring style for reliable termination. The cord grip reduces strain on connections, but the fixed entry range excludes cables outside the stated diameter limits. Installers must verify conductor size before assembly.
Operating Temperature and Certification Scope
Continuous operation is rated from -40 °C to +75 °C without impact. The plug meets CSA C22.2 No. 42, UL 498 and Federal Specification W-C-596, with IP20 suitability and UL94 HB flammability rating. It is not rated for higher ingress protection or temperatures beyond the certified range. Buyers needing wet-location or extreme-temperature ratings must select a different device.

Choose L15-20P when you need a three-pole, four-wire 250 V AC connection rated for 20 A; other NEMA codes have different pole counts or voltage ratings.
What does the 20 A 250 V AC rating mean once the plug is installed?
It means the plug can continuously carry up to 20 amps at 250 volts AC in industrial equipment without overheating, provided wiring and circuit protection match.
What cable sizes does the L15-20P cord grip accept?
The cord grip accepts diameters from .350 in to 1.150 in, covering stranded copper from 16 AWG up to 8 AWG.
