Straight Blade Receptacle 5-20R

This Hubbell receptacle provides a 20A straight-blade outlet rated for standard branch circuits. The black finish and weather-resistant construction suit indoor or covered outdoor locations. It is intended for electricians and maintenance staff who need a code-compliant power point.

Installation and common issues

The wrap-around galvanized steel strap mounts to a standard device box using the supplied screws. Triple-wipe contacts accept solid or stranded conductors up to the device rating. The tamper-resistant shutters require simultaneous blade pressure; single-blade insertion will not open them.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that the circuit breaker and wiring are rated for 20A service before fitting this receptacle. Confirm the mounting box depth allows the strap and rear terminals to sit flush. Ensure local code accepts the weather-resistant and tamper-resistant features for the intended location.
