Leviton Telcom 26CM-13 Connector 2-pole 3-wire L5-30

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 26CM-13 is a yellow cord-end connector designed for residential and light commercial electrical applications. This 2-pole, 3-wire connector is built to the NEMA L5-30 configuration, making it suitable for 30-amp twist-lock wiring connections. It is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by licensed electricians during wiring of generators, transfer switches, and similar load-side equipment. The L5-30 twist-lock design provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that resists accidental disconnection under load.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial settings where a 30-amp, 125-volt twist-lock termination is required. Common applications include generator output connections, portable equipment power cords, and temporary power setups on job sites. The 2-pole, 3-wire configuration accommodates two current-carrying conductors plus a grounding conductor, consistent with standard single-phase 30-amp circuit requirements.

Key Features

• NEMA L5-30 twist-lock configuration for secure, pull-resistant connections
• 2-pole, 3-wire design accommodates grounded single-phase circuits
• Yellow housing for quick visual identification on cord assemblies
• Cord-end (male plug) style for direct termination to flexible cord
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cord-end connector for use with NEMA L5-30 rated receptacles and inlets in residential and light commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit completely before terminating any conductors to the connector. Ensure the conductor gauge is appropriate for the 30-amp rating of the L5-30 configuration before assembly. Tighten all terminal screws to the connector manufacturer's specified range and verify the twist-lock engagement is secure before returning the circuit to service.
