Leviton Mfg Co 081-05459-0VY 20A Grounding Cord Connector

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 081-05459-0VY is a 20-amp industrial-grade grounding cord connector engineered for demanding electrical installations. Built around a 1-piece hinge construction, it allows fast field assembly without special tooling. The high impact-resistant nylon housing stands up to rough handling, while the clear thermoplastic back terminal cover keeps wiring accessible and protected. Triple-drive screws accept straight blade, Phillips, and Robertson drivers, so technicians can work with whatever is on hand. Curved and crimp-lock terminal clamps secure conductors without cutting wire strands, reducing the risk of high-resistance connections at the termination point.

This connector is suited for industrial and commercial wiring applications where a durable, field-serviceable cord connector is required. The wide cord clamp range accommodates cord sizes from 18-3SVT to 10-3ST, covering a broad range of flexible cord types used in industrial equipment, portable tools, and facility maintenance. The yellow housing aids visual identification in multi-connector environments. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this connector as part of portable equipment wiring or cord-and-plug connected load assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC and any applicable local codes governing cord-and-plug connected equipment. De-energize the circuit fully before disassembling or terminating the connector. Ensure wire strands are fully seated in the crimp-lock terminal clamps before closing the housing to maintain a reliable, low-resistance connection. Do not exceed the rated 20-amp capacity of the connector.
