  • CE, RoHS and REACH compliant materials
  • Single-piece moulded adapter for a secure connection

NEMA 5-15P to 5-20R adapter

This adapter converts a standard 15 A household plug into a 20 A T-blade receptacle. It is intended for users who need to connect equipment with a 5-20P plug to an existing 5-15R outlet in North American 125 V installations. The moulded body uses 14 AWG conductors and carries an ETL listing.

Upgrading from a straight 5-15R outlet

The jump is worthwhile when a device requires the horizontal blade of a 5-20P plug but the building only provides 5-15R sockets. The adapter is rated at 15 A 125 V, so it cannot supply more current than the original circuit allows. It does not replace a dedicated 20 A branch circuit or a 5-20R outlet wired with 12 AWG cable.

Installation notes

Simply insert the 5-15P male end into the wall receptacle and plug the 5-20P equipment into the female end. No tools or wiring are required. The most common issue is exceeding the 15 A rating of the adapter or the upstream circuit, which will trip the breaker. The adapter does not increase the available amperage beyond the 15 A limit of the source outlet.

Questions about this item

Will the 5-15P plug fit a standard 125 V household outlet?

Yes, the NEMA 5-15P male end is designed for ordinary 125 V wall receptacles.

What is the correct way to insert the adapter so the T-blade socket works?

Push the 5-15P plug fully into the wall outlet until it seats, then insert the 5-20R device plug straight in without forcing the T-blade.

When should I replace the adapter if the internal AWG 14 wiring degrades?

Replace it if the housing cracks, pins discolour, or the connection feels loose, as the 15 A rating depends on intact conductors.
