Leviton 5461-R 20A 250V Nema 6-20R Single Receptacle Red

Product Description

The LEVITON 5461-R is a heavy-duty, industrial specification grade single receptacle rated at 20 amps and 250 volts. It carries a NEMA 6-20R configuration, meaning it is a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding outlet designed for high-demand 250-volt applications. The smooth-face design and self-grounding construction make it a dependable choice for industrial and commercial environments where circuit integrity and durability are required. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as part of dedicated branch circuits in manufacturing, workshop, and heavy equipment settings.

This receptacle is suited for industrial facilities, machine shops, and commercial buildings where 250-volt single receptacles are required on dedicated 20-amp circuits. Its back or side wire termination options give installers flexibility during rough-in or retrofit work. The red color body provides quick visual identification of 250-volt circuits, which is a common practice in facilities that manage multiple voltage levels across the same space.

Key Features

• NEMA 6-20R configuration — 2-pole, 3-wire grounding for 250-volt circuits
• 20-amp, 250-volt rating for heavy-duty industrial use
• Self-grounding design reduces installation steps on metal boxes
• Back or side wire termination options for installation flexibility
• Smooth face construction for industrial specification grade performance
• Red color body for fast visual identification of 250-volt circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation single receptacle for 20-amp, 250-volt branch circuits using NEMA 6-20R wiring configurations in industrial and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off and lock out the branch circuit breaker before beginning any wiring work. Verify the circuit is rated for 20 amps at 250 volts and uses the correct NEMA 6-20 plug configuration before installing. Do not install on standard 120-volt circuits — the NEMA 6-20R accepts only NEMA 6-20P plugs.
