Rated for 20 amps at 125 VAC, it provides a compact solution for distributing power from one locking outlet to two devices simultaneously. The adapter measures 20 inches in length and is finished in a high-visibility yellow and black color scheme. UL Listed construction confirms it meets recognized safety standards for electrical adapters. Electricians and power distribution professionals install this adapter in temporary power setups, job sites, and equipment staging environments.

This Y adapter is suited for residential and light commercial job site applications where NEMA L5-20 twist-lock connections are required.
