Leviton Telcom 24CM-30 Locking Receptacle 3P 4W L16

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 24CM-30 is a locking-style electrical receptacle configured for 3-pole, 4-wire applications in the NEMA L16 twist-lock series. This receptacle accepts a twist-lock plug and holds the connection secure under vibration or accidental contact, making it appropriate for industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty power distribution environments. The 4-wire configuration supports a grounded circuit, and the 3-pole layout accommodates three-phase or high-voltage single-phase power feeds. It is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by licensed electricians during panel work, equipment hookups, or generator connections.

This receptacle is suited for commercial and light-industrial installations where a secure, non-loosening power connection is required. Common applications include portable generator hookups, transfer switch outlets, compressor circuits, and other high-demand equipment feeds that use the L16 twist-lock configuration. The corrosion-resistant construction noted in the product designation makes it appropriate for environments with elevated moisture or chemical exposure, such as mechanical rooms, outdoor enclosures, or marine-adjacent facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the breaker panel before beginning any wiring work. Verify that the supply circuit voltage, amperage, and wire gauge match the receptacle rating prior to connection. Do not overtighten the mounting hardware, as this can crack the housing body.
