Leviton 5261 Single Receptacle Nema 5-15R 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON 5261 is a straight blade single receptacle rated at 15 amps and 125 volts AC with a NEMA 5-15R configuration. Built to industrial grade standards, it features a self-grounding design that simplifies installation and ensures a reliable ground path without a separate grounding clip. The thermoplastic body is impact-resistant, making it well suited for demanding environments. It accepts back and side wiring methods, offering flexibility during rough-in. This receptacle is intended for licensed electricians performing commercial and industrial wiring work where a single-outlet flush-mount device is required.

The LEVITON 5261 is used in single-outlet flush-mount applications in commercial, industrial, and light-duty residential settings. Its 2-pole, 3-wire, single-phase configuration covers standard 15-amp branch circuits. The brown finish is commonly specified in industrial environments where standard white or ivory devices are not preferred. Back and side wiring support makes it compatible with both quick-connect and screw-terminal installation methods depending on jobsite requirements.
