Thomas Betts 8013 Locking Plug 2-pole 3-wire

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 8013 is a standard 2-pole, 3-wire locking plug designed for secure electrical connections in demanding trade applications. Part of the Ever-Lok locking connection series, this plug features a heavy gauge steel plated housing that resists wear and accidental disconnection under load. It is built for use in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where a reliable, code-compliant wiring device is required. Licensed electricians and maintenance professionals specify this type of locking plug where standard straight-blade connectors are not sufficient.

The 8013 is suited for applications requiring a 2-pole, 3-conductor locking connection. It is commonly installed on portable equipment, generators, industrial machinery, and other systems that demand a twist-lock style plug to prevent inadvertent cord separation. The Ever-Lok design provides a positive engagement and retention mechanism that holds the connection secure during operation.
