Hospital-Grade 20 A Receptacle

The Hubbell HBL8300SGA is a straight-blade 5-20R receptacle rated at 20 A. It is built to hospital-grade UL requirements that exceed standard device specifications. The brown unit uses a nickel-plated bypass contact design that increases contact pressure and lowers operating temperature. It suits healthcare facilities and other high-abuse environments needing reliable power connections.

Upgrade From Standard Receptacles

Standard receptacles lack the four-point grounding system and impact-resistant deep face found here. The jump is worth it when redundant low-resistance ground continuity and breakage prevention are required. Tamper-resistant contacts and integral wire leads remove exposed live parts during installation. These features address safety and durability gaps in basic wiring devices.

20 A Circuit Limitation

The 5-20R configuration limits use to 20 A branch circuits and matching plugs. It cannot serve higher-amperage loads or specialised pin arrangements. The nickel-plated brass ground strap and I.D. marking surface support identification but do not extend the electrical rating. Installers must match the receptacle to the circuit protection and wiring provided.

Questions about this item

What mounting box depth does the HBL8300SGA receptacle require?

The receptacle fits standard electrical boxes; its deep face design adds impact resistance but does not change the box depth needed.

Which wiring step is most often missed when installing the HBL8300SGA?

Connecting the one-piece nickel-plated brass ground strap to the box grounding screw is the step installers sometimes skip.

When should the tamper-resistant mechanism on the HBL8300SGA be checked?

Inspect the tamper-resistant shutters during any circuit test or if a plug inserts with unusual resistance.
