Hospital-grade receptacle for patient-care areas
This straight-blade receptacle carries a 15 A rating and meets the stricter UL requirements for hospital-grade devices. The ivory finish suits clinical and commercial interiors. Nickel-plated bypass contacts increase contact pressure and lower operating temperature. A four-point grounding system provides redundant ground continuity in high-abuse environments.
Suited for health-care facilities
Electricians wiring patient rooms, labs or corridors will benefit from the impact-resistant deep face and one-piece nickel-plated brass ground strap. Installers needing a lower-duty residential device or a different colour should look at other options. The hospital-grade construction is not required for standard office or home circuits.
Deciding specification: 15 A hospital-grade rating
The 15 A hospital-grade rating is the single figure that determines whether this device matches the project specification. If the plans call for a standard 15 A receptacle without the hospital-grade listing, this part exceeds the requirement. Verify the amperage and grade against the design documents before ordering.

Questions about this item
Will the 15 A 5-15R receptacle work with my existing 15 A branch circuit and standard NEMA 5-15 plugs?
Yes, the HBL8210I is a 15 A 5-15R straight-blade receptacle rated for 15 A circuits and accepts standard NEMA 5-15 plugs used on most household and commercial equipment.
How can I confirm the receptacle is functioning correctly after installation?
After wiring, verify power is present at the face slots with a voltage tester and confirm a firm, secure fit when a standard 5-15 plug is inserted; the nickel-plated bypass contacts and four-point grounding system are designed for low-resistance continuity.
What is included with the HBL8210I and what must be purchased separately?
The box contains the ivory hospital-grade receptacle with one-piece nickel-plated brass integral ground strap; mounting screws, wall plate, wire connectors and conduit fittings are not included and must be sourced separately.
