Straight blade receptacle for 15 A circuits
The Hubbell HBL5661 is a single-gang, 6-15R receptacle rated for 15 amperes on single-phase circuits. It provides a grounded, polarized connection with a straight-blade orientation and impact-resistant nylon housing in brown. The unit is CSA certified to C22.2 No. 42 and listed to UL 498, meeting NEMA WD-6 and Federal Specification W-C-596G. It suits residential or light-commercial wiring where a 2-pole, 3-wire outlet is required.
Verify voltage, wiring and box compatibility
Before ordering, confirm the circuit supplies the correct voltage for a 6-15R configuration and that the existing box accepts a flush-mount, single-gang device. The receptacle requires three conductors and a grounded, polarized connection; ensure your wiring matches the 2-pole, 3-wire layout. Check local code for any additional requirements beyond the listed standards. No cover plate is included, so plan to supply a matching NEMA 1-rated cover separately.
No accessories or software included
The receptacle ships as a standalone wiring device with no bundled cover plate, mounting hardware, configuration software or documentation beyond the standard compliance markings. The brown nylon housing and impact-resistant construction are the only supplied features. Any additional components such as wall plates, wire connectors or tools must be sourced separately to complete the installation.
