Hubbell HBL5256 Flanged Receptacle 15A 125V Nema 5-15R

Product Description

The HUBBELL HBL5256 is a straight blade flanged receptacle rated for 15 amps at 125 volts, configured to NEMA 5-15R. It features a phenolic body with a stainless steel flange, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant mounting surface suited to demanding environments. The device is a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding receptacle with back wiring and is finished in brown. It meets UL 498 and CSA C22.2 approvals, making it appropriate for specification-grade electrical installations. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty residential applications where a panel-mount or enclosure-mount outlet is required.

The HBL5256 is suited for use in enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels where a surface-flush or flanged outlet point is needed. Its specification-grade construction makes it a common choice in manufacturing facilities, mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and other locations subject to rough service conditions. The stainless steel flange enables direct mounting to metal enclosures or panels, and the phenolic body withstands an operating temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees C, covering most indoor and sheltered outdoor industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning any wiring work. The back-wiring configuration requires proper conductor termination; do not exceed the device current rating or use conductors undersized for the circuit. Secure the stainless steel flange to the enclosure or panel per the enclosure manufacturer's requirements.
