Hubbell 15 A Duplex Receptacle

The Hubbell HBL5252GY is a straight-blade 5-15R duplex receptacle rated for 15 A at 125 V AC. Its grounded, polarized design suits residential and light-commercial wiring where a standard NEMA 5-15 outlet is required. The single-gang nylon housing fits a flush-mount box and ships without a cover plate. It is listed to UL 498 and meets CSA C22.2 No. 42 and Federal Specification W-C-596G.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a passive wiring device the receptacle generates no audible noise and draws no power of its own. Normal operation stays within the 15 A continuous rating without thermal concerns when installed on correctly sized conductors. The nylon housing carries a NEMA Type 1 enclosure rating for indoor use.

Standards and Compliance Benefits

UL 498 File E2186 and CSA Certified C22.2 No. 42 File 285 confirm the device meets North American safety requirements for receptacles. Federal Specification W-C-596G and NEMA WD-6 compliance allow specification on government and commercial projects. These certifications do not add GFCI protection; buyers needing ground-fault interruption must select a different device.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the HBL5252GY receptacle, and what step do installers often miss?

Connect the three wires to the grounded, polarized 5-15R terminals — hot, neutral, and ground — then secure the flush-mount nylon housing; the step often missed is tightening the ground screw to meet the UL 498 and CSA C22.2 No. 42 listing requirements.

What maintenance or replacement will this 15 A duplex receptacle need over time?

Inspect the nylon housing and contacts periodically for discoloration, cracking, or loose plug fit; replace the unit if the grounding path fails continuity testing or if the face shows heat damage, as no user-serviceable parts exist inside.

What limit appears first when the receptacle runs at 15 A continuously?

The 125 V AC rating and NEMA 1 enclosure mean heat buildup in the nylon housing is the first constraint; sustained full-load operation can accelerate contact oxidation and reduce clamping force before the 15 A breaker trips.
