Hubbell Incorporated HBL8210I Straight Blade Receptacle 5-15R 15 A Ivory

Hospital-grade receptacle for patient-care areas

This straight-blade receptacle carries a 15 A rating and meets the stricter UL requirements for hospital-grade devices. The ivory finish suits clinical and commercial interiors. Nickel-plated bypass contacts increase contact pressure and lower operating temperature. A four-point grounding system provides redundant ground continuity in high-abuse environments.

Suited for health-care facilities

Electricians wiring patient rooms, labs or corridors will benefit from the impact-resistant deep face and one-piece nickel-plated brass ground strap. Installers needing a lower-duty residential device or a different colour should look at other options. The hospital-grade construction is not required for standard office or home circuits.

Deciding specification: 15 A hospital-grade rating

The 15 A hospital-grade rating is the single figure that determines whether this device matches the project specification. If the plans call for a standard 15 A receptacle without the hospital-grade listing, this part exceeds the requirement. Verify the amperage and grade against the design documents before ordering.
