15A Midget Locking Inlet

The Hubbell HBL7486 is a 15A midget locking inlet rated for three-pole three-wire service. It uses a NEMA ML-3P configuration to provide a secure, locking connection for power distribution. The device is supplied new and is intended for panel or flange mounting in industrial or commercial wiring applications.

Suited for compact locking power points

This inlet suits installers who need a small-footprint locking receptacle for 15A circuits where a positive lock prevents accidental disconnection. It is not for applications requiring higher amperage, different pole counts, or non-locking straight-blade connections. Buyers needing a matching connector or a different NEMA arrangement should look at other devices.

Check mounting and circuit compatibility

Before ordering, verify that the panel cut-out and flange dimensions match the midget inlet footprint. Confirm the supply circuit is rated for 15A and wired for three-pole three-wire operation. Ensure the mating plug uses the same NEMA ML-3P configuration for correct engagement.

Questions about this item

What wiring and circuit-breaker rating must I already have for the 15 A HBL7486 inlet?

Supply conductors rated for at least 15 A and a dedicated 15 A branch-circuit breaker.

Can the NEMA ML-3P locking inlet accept my older straight-blade plugs?

No, the ML-3P configuration only mates with matching NEMA ML-3P locking plugs.

How do I verify the HBL7486 is wired correctly after installation?

With power off, check continuity from each blade to its terminal; then energise and confirm voltage is present on the two power blades.
