Watertight Locking Plug for Industrial Use
The Hubbell HBL28W08 is a straight, non-NEMA locking plug rated for 30 A at 125/250V AC. Its thermoplastic elastomer housing provides chemical and impact resistance while maintaining a watertight seal. Designed for industrial environments, it accepts cable diameters from .375 in to 1 in via screw terminals. The yellow housing ensures high visibility on job sites.
Three-Pole Configuration with Screw Terminals
This plug features three poles and three blades in a polarized design for secure single-phase connections. The standard wiring style uses screw terminals that clamp conductors firmly, reducing the risk of loose connections under vibration. Watertight construction prevents moisture ingress that can cause corrosion or short circuits in outdoor or wash-down areas. No additional sealing accessories are required for the rated protection.
Capacity for Heavy-Duty Equipment Loads
Rated at 30 A and 125/250V AC, the device handles large portable generators, welders, and industrial machinery. The 1 in maximum cable diameter accommodates heavy-gauge cords needed for long runs or high inrush currents. It is not suited for applications requiring NEMA-standard pinouts or voltages outside the 125/250V AC range. The single-phase design limits use to compatible distribution systems.

Questions about this item
Will the screw terminals on the 30 A plug need periodic retightening?
The screw terminals are designed for secure connections; inspect and retighten them during routine maintenance to maintain reliable contact.
What is the first limit reached when the plug runs at 30 A continuously?
The 30 A current rating is the primary limit; sustained operation at this level must not exceed the device's rated capacity.
Does the thermoplastic elastomer housing get hot during all-day use at 30 A?
The housing is rated for industrial use at 30 A and 125/250V AC; normal temperature rise is expected within design limits.
