Leviton Mfg Co R52-05256-BVO 15A 125V Hinged Cord Plug

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R52-05256-BVO is a 15-amp, 125-volt hinged nylon cord plug rated for NEMA 5-15P configurations. The hinged housing design allows the cord clamp to open wide for fast, secure termination without disassembling multiple parts. Built from orange-colored nylon, the plug body offers a durable, impact-resistant construction suited for general-purpose electrical applications. Electricians and maintenance professionals reach for this plug when replacing damaged ends on extension cords, power tools, or portable equipment wiring. The NEMA 5-15P blade configuration is the standard two-pole, three-wire grounding plug used across residential and light commercial installations. This package contains 20 units, making it a practical shop or service-truck stock item.

This plug is appropriate for use on 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. It fits standard 14 AWG or 16 AWG flexible cord assemblies used in portable power applications. The orange color can serve as a visual identifier on jobsites or in facilities where cord management and circuit identification practices are in place. Electricians replacing worn or damaged cord ends on portable equipment will find the hinged housing speeds up the termination process compared to conventional two-piece plug bodies.
