Hubbell Wiring Device-kellems HBL7486 Locking Inlet

Product Description

The HUBBELL WIRING DEVICE-KELLEMS HBL7486 is a locking-style ungrounded inlet rated for 15 amps at 125/250 volts AC. Configured as a 3-pole, 3-wire male-end device, it conforms to the ML-2R NEMA locking standard and is designed for applications where a grounding conductor is not present in the circuit. The black steel body provides durability in demanding installation environments. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this inlet where a twist-lock connection point is needed to accept a matching locking plug on portable equipment or temporary power runs.

The HBL7486 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems where 125/250 VAC ungrounded locking connections are required. Typical applications include generator inlet boxes, transfer switch connections, and older wiring systems that predate modern grounding requirements. Its male-end configuration makes it appropriate for use as a panel-mounted or enclosure-mounted inlet feeding a mating cord connector.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning any wiring work. Ensure the inlet is mounted in a suitable weatherproof or indoor enclosure appropriate for the installation environment. Do not use this ungrounded inlet in applications where a grounding conductor is required by local code or equipment specifications.
