Hubbell 2172RED Decorator Duplex Receptacle

The Hubbell 2172RED is a red, impact-resistant nylon receptacle with a straight-blade NEMA 5-15R configuration rated at 15 A. It mounts flush in a single-gang electrical box and provides a grounded, polarized connection for standard power cords. The housing carries CSA C 22.2, UL 498 and Federal Specification W-C-596 certifications.

Suits standard AC wiring.

This receptacle suits electricians and facility managers wiring standard 15 A branch circuits where a durable, decorator-style duplex outlet is required. Buyers who need ground-fault protection must select a GFCI device instead. It is not intended for circuits that require an ungrounded or non-polarized outlet.

Single-gang flush mount with NEMA 5-15R layout

The decisive specification is the single-gang flush mount combined with the NEMA 5-15R two-pole, three-wire arrangement. This defines the box cut-out, the plug compatibility and the 15 A current rating for the circuit.
