Flanged Straight Blade Inlet 5-15R

The Hubbell Incorporated HBL5279C is a flanged straight blade inlet rated at 15 amps. It features impact resistant thermoplastic construction for durability in electrical installations. Backwired terminations and #8-32 multiple drive terminal screws simplify the wiring process. Mounting screws are included for immediate setup.

Electrical installers needing a 15 amp inlet

This inlet suits electricians and maintenance teams fitting a 15 amp flanged connection in residential or light commercial projects. The white thermoplastic body and included hardware support a clean, finished installation. Buyers who need a different amperage rating, a locking blade configuration, or a non-flanged form factor should look at other wiring devices.

15 amp 5-15R straight blade configuration

The single specification that decides fit is the 15 amp, 5-15R straight blade rating. This defines the exact plug pattern and current capacity the inlet will accept. Verify that the mating connector and circuit protection match this rating before purchase.

Questions about this item

How long can the 15 A inlet run continuously before the thermoplastic housing reaches its thermal limit?

The impact-resistant thermoplastic housing is rated for continuous 15 A operation; sustained load at the full 15 A will not exceed its temperature limit under normal ambient conditions.

Does the inlet produce audible noise or noticeable heat when powering a load all day?

No moving parts or active electronics are present, so the device runs silently and generates only minimal warmth at rated current.

What wiring components must already be on hand to complete the installation?

You will need conductors sized for 15 A service and a standard screwdriver for the #8-32 multiple-drive terminal screws; mounting screws are supplied.
