Hospital-Grade Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL8300SGRA is a 20 A straight-blade receptacle built to UL hospital-grade requirements. Its nickel-plated bypass contacts increase pressure and lower operating temperature for reliable performance in high-abuse healthcare environments. The red finish provides quick visual identification on critical circuits.
Build Integration
The device fits a standard 5-20R opening and uses integral wire leads that speed installation while keeping live parts covered. A one-piece nickel-plated brass ground strap delivers a four-point grounding system without extra hardware. An I.D. marking surface helps electricians label circuits during rough-in or retrofit work.
Included Advantages
The tamper-resistant contact mechanism blocks access to live slots unless both blades are inserted simultaneously, reducing injury risk. Deep impact-resistant face construction resists cracking under heavy use. Integral leads eliminate the need for separate pigtails, saving labour time on every termination.

Questions about this item
How does the 20 A receptacle handle heat during continuous loading?
Nickel-plated bypass contacts increase contact pressure, which lowers operating temperature under sustained use.
Will the hospital-grade receptacle run silently or produce audible noise when powering equipment all day?
The device has no moving parts or active cooling, so it operates silently during continuous use.
What wiring must already be in place for this straight-blade 5-20R receptacle to function?
A 20 A branch circuit with hot, neutral and ground conductors is required for proper installation.
