Hubbell Wiring Device-kellems HBL2162 Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The HUBBELL WIRING DEVICE-KELLEMS HBL2162 is an industrial-grade straight blade duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts AC. It carries a NEMA 5-20R configuration, making it a standard fit for 20-amp branch circuits in demanding commercial and industrial environments. The self-grounding design simplifies installation by establishing the ground path through the mounting strap contact with a grounded outlet box, eliminating the need for a separate ground pigtail. The nylon body resists corrosion, heat, and impact, supporting long service life in tough conditions. Licensed electricians install this device during new construction, tenant improvement, or panel upgrade work.

The HBL2162 is suited for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and heavy-use commercial spaces where a 20-amp, 125-volt duplex outlet is required on a single-phase, 3-wire circuit. Its flush mount profile fits standard single-gang outlet boxes. The brown finish is common in industrial settings where color-coding indicates circuit type. Both back-wired and side-wired termination methods are supported, giving the installer flexibility based on box depth and wire routing preferences.

Key Features

• NEMA 5-20R configuration for 20-amp, 125-volt AC single-phase circuits
• Self-grounding design establishes ground path through mounting strap contact
• Supports both back and side wiring methods for installation flexibility
• Industrial-grade nylon body rated corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and impact-resistant
• Flush mount profile fits standard single-gang outlet boxes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial duplex receptacle for single-phase, 3-wire, 20-amp branch circuits wired to NEMA 5-20R outlet configurations in standard flush-mount single-gang boxes.

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 at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before making any wiring connections. The self-grounding feature requires a properly grounded metallic outlet box to complete the ground path. Confirm box grounding integrity before relying on this feature in place of a dedicated ground conductor.
