Built for surface mounting, it features a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding design that meets the demands of high-amperage applications such as welding equipment hookups. The bakelite construction provides solid dielectric properties and durability in shop and industrial environments. Electricians and maintenance professionals install this receptacle where a dedicated 50-amp, 240-volt circuit is required for welder power connections or similarly rated equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis receptacle is commonly used in residential garages, commercial shops, and light industrial facilities where MIG or stick welders require a dedicated 50-amp outlet. The NEMA 6-50 configuration is the standard outlet type for 240-volt welding machines without a neutral conductor. Surface-mount installation makes it suitable for exposed conduit runs on masonry, metal, or wood substrates. It is sold in a package quantity of 6 units, making it a practical choice for contractors outfitting multiple welding stations or service bays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNEMA 6-50 configuration rated for 50 amps at 125\/250 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty bakelite body for durability in shop and industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-pole, 3-wire grounding design for safe high-amperage connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePin-type contact design for secure, low-resistance plug engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface-mount configuration compatible with standard electrical boxes and exposed conduit installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 6 for multi-outlet installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation receptacle for NEMA 6-50 applications, including dedicated circuits for welding machines and other 240-volt, 50-amp equipment requiring a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify the absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. The NEMA 6-50 receptacle requires a dedicated 50-amp, 240-volt 2-pole circuit breaker and appropriately sized conductors per NEC ampacity tables. Do not connect a neutral conductor to this outlet, as the NEMA 6-50 configuration uses two hot legs and a ground only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNEMA Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\/250 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-pole, 3-wire grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Surface mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bakelite\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.28 pounds (package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 58402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FORNEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560671281458,"sku":"58402","price":154.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7b2a4d64c123098040207a7cd2ad7318.jpg?v=1786455520","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/forney-58402-nema-6-50-pin-type-wall-receptacle-50-amp","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
