Hospital-Grade Receptacle

The Hubbell HBL8310 is a straight-blade 5-20R receptacle rated at 20 amps. It is built to hospital-grade UL standards that exceed standard device requirements. The brown finish identifies it for use in healthcare and commercial environments.

Nickel-Plated Contacts & Grounding

A one-piece nickel-plated brass integral ground strap provides a four-point grounding system for redundant continuity. The patented bypass contact design increases contact pressure and lowers operating temperature. An impact-resistant deep face prevents breakage in high-abuse areas.

For Healthcare & Heavy-Duty Commercial Use

This device suits electricians and facility managers wiring patient-care areas or demanding commercial spaces where code requires hospital-grade listings. It is not intended for residential-only projects that do not need the enhanced grounding and durability these specifications provide.

Questions about this item

Will the nickel-plated bypass contacts need periodic cleaning or replacement?

The nickel-plated bypass contacts are designed for lasting contact pressure and lower operating temperature; they are not a scheduled maintenance item.

What limits continuous current draw on the 20 A 5-20R receptacle?

The 20 A rating is the sustained limit; the one-piece nickel-plated brass ground strap and four-point grounding system maintain low-resistance continuity at that load.

How much heat does the receptacle generate when run at full load all day?

The patented bypass contact design increases contact pressure to lower operating temperature during continuous 20 A use.
