Hospital-grade receptacle
The Hubbell HBL8200ILR is a 15 A straight-blade receptacle built to hospital-grade UL requirements. Red colour coding identifies it for essential or emergency circuits in healthcare environments. It suits electricians and facility managers wiring patient-care areas.
Nickel-plated bypass contacts
The exclusive contact design increases pressure to lower operating temperature under continuous load. A four-point grounding system adds redundant continuity for high-abuse locations. These features address the stricter performance demanded by medical-grade standards.
Illuminated face with dual LEDs
The entire face glows so the slot is visible in darkened rooms without separate indicator lights. Impact-resistant deep face and finder-groove styling resist breakage during frequent plug insertion. Triple-wipe contacts maintain reliable connection over repeated use.

Questions about this item
What does the 15 A rating mean when the receptacle is installed in a circuit?
The 15 A rating means the receptacle is built to carry up to 15 amperes continuously on a properly protected branch circuit, matching standard 5-15R straight-blade plugs used in healthcare and commercial wiring.
What interface standard does the 5-15R configuration follow, and what does it limit in practice?
The 5-15R configuration follows the NEMA straight-blade standard for 15 A grounding receptacles, limiting the connection to plugs rated 15 A and preventing higher-amperage plugs from mating.
What does the receptacle need to fit in a standard electrical box?
The slender, compact design fits a standard single-gang wall box with the impact-resistant deep face and finder groove aligning to the box mounting ears for secure installation.
