Leviton 000-3W101-00E 15A Grounded Cord Plug 2P3W

Product Description

The Leviton 000-3W101-00E is a 15-amp, 2-pole, 3-wire grounded straight blade cord plug molded from thermoplastic. It uses a clamp-tight hinged body design that speeds assembly without special tooling. The dimpled housing locks the hinge halves together with a secure grip, and the built-in cord grip self-adjusts to the conductor bundle as the plug is closed. The thermoplastic construction resists moisture and common chemicals, making it durable in shop and job-site environments. Electricians and maintenance techs reach for this plug when a damaged plug on a tool, appliance, or extension cord needs fast, reliable replacement.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance work wherever a standard 15-amp grounded outlet is present. It accepts 18-2 AWG cord as well as SJ 16-3 AWG multiconductor cord, covering the most common cord gauges found on portable tools, shop appliances, and extension cords. The grounded third contact satisfies NEC requirements for grounded portable equipment on general-purpose 15-amp circuits. Packaged in a quantity of 10 per unit, it is a practical shop-stock item for electrical contractors and maintenance facilities.
