Value Collection BD-18882 Twist Lock Receptacle L5-20R 20A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18882 is a female twist lock receptacle rated for 20 amps at 125 volts AC. It follows the NEMA L5-20R configuration, making it a standard choice for locking-style electrical connections in commercial and light industrial settings. The receptacle features a 2-pole, 3-wire design with self-grounding capability and heat-resistant construction. Licensed electricians install this type of device as a permanent wiring outlet or as part of a generator, power distribution panel, or portable power setup where a secure, twist-to-lock connection is required to prevent accidental disconnection under load.

This receptacle is suited for applications where a NEMA L5-20R locking outlet is specified. Typical installations include commercial kitchens, data centers, construction sites, generator transfer panels, and other environments where 125-volt, 20-amp locking power connections are standard. The heat-resistant body material supports use in areas with elevated ambient temperatures. The self-grounding design simplifies box grounding during rough-in and finish electrical work.
