Cooper Wiring Devices BR20B Duplex Receptacle 20A Nema 5-20R

Product Description

The COOPER WIRING DEVICES BR20B is a specification-grade straight blade duplex receptacle rated for 20 amps at 125 volts AC. It is configured to NEMA 5-20R and features a self-grounding design that simplifies installation in metal device boxes by eliminating the need for a separate ground wire to the box. The flush-mount, 2-pole, 3-wire construction suits standard residential and light commercial electrical rough-in. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in branch circuits that serve higher-draw loads such as kitchen appliances, shop equipment, and office workstations where the T-slot 5-20R configuration is required by code.

The BR20B is appropriate for single-phase, 125-volt branch circuit applications requiring a 20-amp outlet. Back and side wiring options accommodate both push-in and screw-terminal field connections, giving installers flexibility across different wiring methods and panel schedules. The brown color finish suits environments where a neutral tone is preferred over standard ivory or white. This receptacle is suited for use in commercial offices, light industrial spaces, residential kitchens, and any location where a NEMA 5-20R outlet is specified on the electrical drawings.
