Hospital-grade 20 A modular receptacle
The Hubbell SNAP8300RA is a 20 A, 125 VAC duplex receptacle built for modular wiring systems. It uses SNAPConnect technology so the connector can be fitted during rough-in and snapped on after the wall is finished. The red nylon face and housing meet hospital-grade Federal Specification and carry UL, CSA and NEMA WD-6 listings.
Installers needing fast, code-compliant rough-in
Electricians working on commercial or high-traffic projects benefit from the audible snap that confirms a secure connection and the self-grounding stainless-steel clip. The device is not suited for residential DIYers who prefer traditional pigtail wiring or for circuits requiring a different NEMA configuration or amperage rating.
SNAPConnect modular back-wire termination
The receptacle terminates with a modular connector that accepts #12 AWG conductors and locks into the body with an audible click. This single wiring method determines whether the part fits the project’s rough-in schedule and inspection requirements.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the SNAPConnect SNAP8300RA receptacle during rough-in and when do I attach the device?
Install the modular connector during rough-in using #12 AWG wire, then snap the receptacle onto the connector after the wall is finished; the audible click confirms a secure connection.
What part of the SNAP8300RA may need replacement after extended use in a high-traffic area?
The brass power and ground contacts or the stainless steel self-grounding clip can wear from repeated plug insertions, requiring receptacle replacement to maintain reliable contact.
At what temperature does the SNAP8300RA reach its operating limit during sustained load?
The receptacle is rated for continuous operation up to +75 °C; beyond this temperature the nylon housing and contacts may exceed their certified performance range.
