Hubbell HBL8300SGIA 20A 125V 5-20R Hospital Grade Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The HUBBELL HBL8300SGIA is a 20-ampere, 125-volt duplex receptacle rated for the NEMA 5-20R configuration and built to Extra Heavy-Duty Hospital Grade standards. The body and face are molded from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a material chosen for its impact resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability under thermal stress. The device is tamper resistant and corrosion resistant, making it suitable for demanding clinical, industrial, and institutional environments where standard-grade devices are not acceptable. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as a direct wiring device in branch-circuit applications requiring elevated safety and durability.

The HBL8300SGIA is designed for hospital, industrial, and heavy commercial installations where 20-amp, 125-volt circuits are required. Its Hospital Grade listing makes it appropriate for patient-care areas and other regulated spaces governed by NFPA 99 and NEC Article 517. The ivory color and 5-20R slot configuration are standard identifiers in healthcare facility wiring. Extra Heavy-Duty grading also suits demanding industrial and laboratory environments where receptacles face chemical exposure, repeated plug cycling, or physical impact.

Key Features

• Tamper-resistant design meets code requirements for pediatric and patient-care areas
• 1-piece ground strap construction increases corrosion resistance over multi-piece alternatives
• Patented ground contact delivers redundant grounding for added fault protection
• Unique bypass contact design increases contact force and reduces heat buildup under load
• Barbed assembly arms reduce the risk of face and base separation
• Back-wired ground terminal and external bundling terminals speed installation and simplify wire inspection
• Deep body design and PBT construction enhance impact and chemical resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation device for 20-amp, 125-volt, 2-pole, 3-wire grounded branch circuits requiring a NEMA 5-20R Hospital Grade tamper-resistant duplex receptacle.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local amendments. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a calibrated tester before beginning work. Secure the device in a listed electrical box rated for the application; Hospital Grade devices in patient-care areas must comply with NFPA 99 installation requirements. Do not exceed the device current or voltage ratings.
