Hospital-Grade 15 A Receptacle
The HBL8200SGIA is a straight-blade 5-15R receptacle rated for 15 A. Its hospital-grade construction meets stricter UL requirements than standard devices, making it suitable for health-care facilities and other high-abuse environments. The ivory finish matches common institutional colour schemes.
Tamper-Resistant Contact Limits
A unique tamper-resistant mechanism blocks access to live contacts unless both blades are inserted simultaneously, reducing shock risk in patient-care areas. This safety feature does not alter the 15 A rating or the 5-15R plug pattern, so standard equipment plugs remain compatible.
Nickel-Plated Bypass Contact Design
Exclusive nickel-plated bypass contacts increase contact pressure and lower operating temperature under continuous load. The one-piece nickel-plated brass ground strap provides a four-point grounding system for redundant low-resistance ground continuity. This contact architecture is the deciding factor for reliability in demanding medical installations.

Questions about this item
Which Hubbell HBL8200SGIA variant should I pick for a 15 A hospital-grade circuit?
The HBL8200SGIA is a single 5-15R straight-blade receptacle rated 15 A in ivory, designed for hospital-grade use with tamper-resistant contacts and nickel-plated bypass contacts.
What does the 15 A rating mean when the receptacle is installed in a real circuit?
The device is rated to carry up to 15 A continuously on a properly protected branch circuit; the nickel-plated bypass contacts increase contact pressure to lower operating temperature under load.
What NEMA standard does the 5-15R interface follow and what does it cap in practice?
The 5-15R face follows the NEMA straight-blade configuration for 15 A grounding receptacles, accepting only 5-15P plugs and limiting the connection to 15 A maximum.
