Hubbell 8210 Hospital Grade Single Receptacle Nema 5-15R

Product Description

The HUBBELL 8210 is a hospital grade single receptacle rated to the NEMA 5-15R configuration, designed for use in healthcare facilities and other critical electrical installations where outlet integrity and patient safety are paramount. Hospital grade receptacles meet stringent UL 498 requirements for pull-out force, temperature rise, and grounding reliability, making them the specified choice wherever sensitive medical equipment is connected to building power. Licensed electricians install this device as a direct replacement or new-construction outlet in patient care areas, operating rooms, and procedure spaces.

The 8210 is suited for healthcare environments including hospitals, clinics, and medical office buildings where NEC Article 517 compliance is required. Its hospital grade listing means the device has passed elevated testing standards beyond standard commercial receptacles. It is also appropriate for any application demanding a higher-reliability 15-amp, 125-volt single outlet, such as laboratory benches or critical equipment stations outside of healthcare settings.

Key Features

• Hospital grade listing meets UL 498 and NEC Article 517 requirements for patient care areas
• NEMA 5-15R configuration accepts standard 15-amp, 125-volt two-pole, three-wire grounding plugs
• Single receptacle configuration reduces the risk of plug displacement in critical-use installations
• Robust grounding contact construction maintains reliable ground continuity under repeated plug insertions

Compatibility

Designed as a hospital grade single receptacle replacement or new-install device for standard 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuits in healthcare and critical-use electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code, particularly Article 517 for healthcare facilities. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before wiring. Follow the wiring diagram on the device body for correct line, neutral, and ground terminations. In patient care areas, verify that the branch circuit meets all applicable NEC and local code requirements for isolated ground or insulated ground configurations if required by the facility design.
