Straight Blade Receptacle 5-20R

This 20 A straight blade receptacle accepts NEMA 5-20 plugs in commercial and residential wiring. The brown finish matches standard decorator plates. It is built for electricians and facility managers who need a durable, code-compliant outlet.

Anchor holes and triple wipe contacts

Anchor holes with a loop feature grip solid wire securely for fast terminations. Triple wipe contacts maintain low-resistance connections over repeated insertions. Break-off tabs allow easy conversion to split-circuit wiring when required.

Verify circuit rating and wiring method

Confirm the branch circuit is rated for 20 A and uses conductors approved for the load. Ensure the box volume meets fill requirements for the number of conductors. Check local codes for any restrictions on receptacle placement.

Questions about this item

Will the break-off tabs on the HBL420 need replacement after repeated split-circuit changes?

The break-off tabs are designed for one-time separation; once removed they cannot be reinstated, so plan the circuit layout before snapping them off.

What is the continuous current limit before the 5-20R receptacle trips or overheats?

The device is rated for 20 A; sustained loads at or near that value will be the first limit encountered under continuous use.

Does the brown HBL420 generate noticeable heat or noise when powering equipment all day?

As a passive wiring device it operates silently; only normal warmth from current flow through the triple-wipe contacts occurs at full load.
