Hubbell hbcs8269 Twist-lock Receptacle 250V 50A

Product Description

The HUBBELL hbcs8269 is a heavy-duty single grounding twist-lock locking receptacle rated for 250 VAC at 50 amps, designed for demanding industrial electrical installations. Built with 2-pole, 3-wire construction and a screw terminal connection, it delivers secure, vibration-resistant engagement through a twist-and-lock mechanism. The composite thermoplastic body handles operating temperatures from -40 to 75 degrees F, making it well-suited for harsh service environments. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as part of high-amperage branch circuit wiring in industrial and commercial facilities where positive connection retention is required.

This receptacle is intended for industrial-grade applications where standard straight-blade connectors are inadequate. The twist-lock design prevents accidental disconnection under load, making it appropriate for motor branch circuits, portable equipment connections, heavy machinery, and temporary power distribution panels. The black composite housing resists impact and chemical exposure common in manufacturing, processing, and utility environments. At 50 amps and 250 VAC, this unit supports high-draw equipment including large compressors, welders, and industrial motors.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit and verify absence of voltage at the outlet box before beginning any wiring work. Use appropriately rated conductors and conduit for a 50-amp, 250-volt circuit, and torque screw terminals to the value specified on the device or in the installation sheet. Do not exceed the device voltage or amperage ratings under any operating condition.
