Eaton 1252 50A 3 Surface Receptacle 50 Amp

Product Description

The EATON 1252 50A 3 is a surface-mount electrical receptacle rated for 50-amp service in a 3-wire configuration. Designed for demanding commercial and industrial applications, this receptacle installs directly onto a surface without requiring a recessed box, making it a practical choice for service panels, equipment hookups, and workshop installations. Licensed electricians install this type of device when a flush or recessed mount is not feasible or when accessibility for frequent connection and disconnection is a priority. The 50-amp rating supports high-draw equipment loads common in industrial and heavy-duty commercial environments.

This surface receptacle is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where a durable, high-amperage outlet is required. Typical applications include machine tool hookups, compressors, welding equipment, and other 50-amp single-phase loads that demand a reliable, accessible connection point. Its surface-mount design simplifies both new construction wiring and retrofit installations where conduit and surface wiring methods are already in use.

Key Features

• 50-amp rating supports high-draw equipment and machinery
• 3-wire configuration for standard single-phase industrial wiring
• Surface-mount design eliminates the need for a recessed electrical box
• Built for frequent connection and disconnection cycles in working environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface receptacle for 50-amp 3-wire single-phase electrical installations in commercial and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit completely and verify zero voltage with a meter before beginning any wiring work. Surface-mount receptacles of this type are typically secured to a back box or mounting surface using standard fasteners, and all wiring connections should be torqued and dressed per applicable NEC requirements. Do not exceed the device amperage rating.
