Industrial-Grade 20 A Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL5361I is a straight-blade receptacle rated for 20 amps in an ivory finish. It belongs to the Extra Heavy Duty Max Industrial Series built for demanding commercial and institutional environments. The device suits facilities where continuous, reliable power delivery is a daily requirement.
Sustained-Load Construction
A one-piece brass integral ground strap and oversized bell-shaped ground contacts maintain a low-resistance path during prolonged use. The unique bypass contact design reduces wear from repeated insertion cycles. Nickel-plated steel retaining shields help protect the grounding system if a plug is pulled out abruptly.
Thermal and Power Behaviour
The brass components and reinforced contact geometry are engineered to limit temperature rise under continuous 20 A loads. The design minimises resistance heating so the receptacle runs cool during normal operation. No active cooling or moving parts are present, so the unit adds no audible noise to the installation.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the HBL5361I generate when supplying 20 A continuously?
The receptacle uses a one-piece brass integral ground strap and bypass contact design to maintain low resistance, which limits heat rise during full-load operation.
What electrical components must already be in place to install this 5-20R receptacle?
A 20 A branch circuit with a compatible breaker and a correctly sized mounting box are required before wiring the device.
Will the HBL5361I fit in the same wall box as an older Hubbell 5262 series receptacle?
Both are straight-blade industrial receptacles, so the mounting dimensions match standard NEMA boxes used for the 5262 series.
