Leviton 23CM-20 Locking Receptacle L6-20R 20A 250V

Product Description

The LEVITON 23CM-20 is a flush-mount locking receptacle wired to the L6-20R configuration, rated for 20 amps at 250 volts. It accepts L6-20 locking plugs and provides a secure, twist-lock connection that resists accidental disconnection under load. This receptacle is installed in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where equipment must stay connected during operation. Electricians install it as a wall-mount outlet or panel-mounted device in applications that require a grounding, two-pole locking outlet at 250 volts.

The 23CM-20 suits commercial kitchens, mechanical rooms, data centers, and industrial facilities where 250-volt locking circuits power HVAC equipment, compressors, and other motor-driven loads. The flush-mount design fits standard electrical boxes and keeps the face of the receptacle even with the wall plate, making it appropriate for high-traffic areas where a protruding device would be a hazard.
