Questions about this item
What is the maximum continuous current the HBL420HI receptacle can handle before the 20 A rating becomes the limiting factor?
The receptacle is rated for 20 A straight-blade service, so the 20 A rating itself is the limit that appears first under sustained use.
How much heat or noise does the HBL420HI produce when it carries a full 20 A load all day?
As a passive wiring device it generates no audible noise and only minimal heat from the triple-wipe contacts at rated current.
Which mounting box and wire gauge must I already have to install this ivory 5-20R receptacle?
It fits a standard US wall box and accepts solid copper wire secured by the anchor-hole and loop terminals.
