Cooper Wiring Devices AH5362V Nema 5-20R 20A Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The COOPER WIRING DEVICES AH5362V is a straight blade duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts AC, configured to NEMA 5-20R specifications. Built to industrial grade, it features a self-grounding design that simplifies installation by establishing a ground connection through contact with a grounded metal wallplate or strap, eliminating the need for a separate ground wire pigtail. The nylon body is rated for antimicrobial, chemical-resistant, and impact-resistant performance, making it suitable for demanding environments. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where durable, code-compliant wiring devices are required.

The AH5362V is intended for flush-mount applications in single-phase, 3-wire, 2-pole branch circuits at 125 volts AC. Its NEMA 5-20R configuration accepts both standard 5-15P and 5-20P straight blade plugs, making it appropriate for general-purpose 20-amp circuits in commercial kitchens, industrial facilities, laboratories, healthcare environments, and other heavy-use installations. The ivory finish suits standard commercial wallplate and device trim systems. Back and side wiring options accommodate a variety of rough-in and retrofit conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a calibrated meter before beginning work. The self-grounding feature requires the device to be mounted securely to a properly grounded metal yoke or listed grounding wallplate. Back and side terminals must not be used simultaneously on the same pole.
