Eaton 1254-box 250V 50A Nema 6-50R Power Receptacle Black

Product Description

The EATON 1254-box is a flush-mount power receptacle rated for 250 volts and 50 amps, designed for heavy-duty single-phase electrical applications. Built on a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration and listed under NEMA 6-50R, this receptacle handles the sustained load demands common in welding stations, EV charging circuits, and other high-amperage 250-volt equipment. The glass-filled nylon body provides durability in demanding environments. Wire termination is handled via back-wiring with screw connections, accommodating wire gauges from 12 AWG down to 4 AWG. Licensed electricians are the primary installers for this device in both residential and light commercial settings.

This receptacle is suited for flush installation in standard electrical boxes where a NEMA 6-50R outlet is required. Typical applications include workshop panels serving welding equipment, plasma cutters, and large motor-driven tools that require a dedicated 250-volt, 50-amp circuit. The back-wiring screw termination allows for clean, secure conductor connections during rough-in or replacement work. The black finish and flush profile provide a professional appearance in finished panel or wall installations. Per the input data, this receptacle is used with the A42.

Compatibility

Used with A42 per manufacturer data. Designed as an OEM-style NEMA 6-50R flush receptacle for 250-volt, 50-amp branch circuits in residential and light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before making any connections. Ensure the branch circuit is sized and protected at 50 amps with conductors appropriate for the load and conduit fill requirements. Do not exceed the 4 AWG minimum or 12 AWG maximum wire gauge range specified for this device.
