Eaton 5279C Grounded Flanged Outlet Nema 5-15R

Product Description

The EATON 5279C is a grounded flanged outlet rated to the NEMA 5-15R configuration, designed for secure panel or surface mounting in commercial and industrial electrical installations. Flanged outlets provide a hardwired receptacle connection point where a standard wall-box mount is not practical or code-compliant, making this unit a go-to solution for equipment hookups, temporary power panels, and fixed machinery connections. The NEMA 5-15R rating designates a 15-amp, 125-volt grounded receptacle, suitable for general-purpose AC power distribution. Licensed electricians are the typical installers for this type of device.

The 5279C flanged outlet is suited for light commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where a durable, panel-mounted receptacle is required. Typical applications include power distribution panels, generator output connections, workbench power stations, and equipment enclosures. Its flanged design allows direct mounting to a flat surface or enclosure wall, keeping wiring contained and connections secure in environments where vibration or physical contact is a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation should 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 wiring connections. Secure the flange firmly to the mounting surface before terminating conductors to prevent stress on the terminals. Follow local AHJ requirements for enclosure type and wiring method.
