Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 27W08 is a Wetguard connector lock designed for use with 3-pole, 3-wire electrical connections. This locking accessory secures mating connectors together, helping maintain a reliable electrical connection in environments where moisture, vibration, or accidental disconnection is a concern. It is intended for use by licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors working on wiring assemblies that require a positive-locking, weather-resistant connection point. The part ships as a single unit and is classified as a hardware accessory within the connector family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage before attaching or removing connector locks. Ensure mating connectors are fully seated before engaging the locking collar. Do not force the lock onto mismatched connector bodies, as this may damage the locking tab or the connector housing.
