Industrial 20 A 480 V Twist-Lock Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL2430 is a NEMA L16-20R locking receptacle rated for 20 amps and 480 V AC three-phase power. It is built for industrial environments that require a secure, twist-lock connection in dry, indoor locations. The device accepts #16 to #8 AWG solid or stranded copper wire via back or side screw terminals. UL 498 listed and CSA C22.2 No. 42 certified.
Sustained three-phase load performance
The receptacle carries its full 20 A rating continuously across an operating range of -40 °F to 167 °F (-40 °C to +75 °C). Brass contacts and an all-brass grounding system resist corrosion during extended duty cycles. A wire-restraint recess at each terminal reduces loosening under vibration or thermal cycling. Nylon housing maintains structural integrity at the upper temperature limit.
Thermal and installation characteristics
The nylon housing and brass components operate without active cooling in normal indoor service. Face colour coding by voltage helps prevent mating errors during installation or maintenance. Flush-mount design includes mounting hardware for standard electrical boxes. Screw terminals accept only copper wire in the specified gauge range for reliable termination.

The receptacle operates continuously from -40°C to +75°C and its nylon housing with brass contacts is designed for industrial thermal loads.
What wiring and breaker must already be in place for this L16-20R receptacle?
You need a three-phase 480 V AC circuit with a 20 A breaker and #16 to #8 AWG copper wire for the screw terminals.
Will this L16-20R mate with older Hubbell twist-lock plugs on the same circuit?
Yes, the NEMA L16-20R configuration and face colour coding ensure correct mating with any compliant L16-20P plug.
