Straight-Blade Duplex Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL5252 is a 15 A, 125 V AC duplex receptacle built to the NEMA 5-15R configuration. It provides two grounded, polarized outlets in a single-gang housing for standard residential or light-commercial branch circuits.
Nylon Housing with Flush Mount
The brown nylon body carries a NEMA 1 enclosure rating and mounts flush in a standard wall box without a cover plate. Three-wire terminals accept hot, neutral and ground conductors for a secure, code-compliant connection.
Certified for Safe Continuous Operation
The device meets UL 498 file E2186, CSA C22.2 No. 42 file 285 and Federal Specification W-C-596G. Normal use stays within the 15 A rating, so the nylon housing and internal contacts run cool without audible noise or excess power draw.

Questions about this item
What does the 5-15R NEMA configuration on this receptacle cap in practice?
The 5-15R configuration limits the receptacle to 125 V AC single-phase service at 15 A with grounded, polarised duplex outlets.
What wall-box depth and mounting style does the flush-mount nylon housing require?
The flush-mount design fits a standard single-gang box; the nylon housing sits flat against the wall with no cover plate included.
How do I wire the three terminals on this duplex receptacle and which step is commonly missed?
Connect hot to brass, neutral to silver and ground to green; the step often missed is breaking the tab only when splitting the duplex for separate circuits.
