Hospital-Grade Single Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL8310I is a hospital-grade 5-20R straight blade receptacle rated for 20 A at 125 V AC. Its flush-mount design includes mounting hardware and suits indoor environments where heavy-duty, grounded outlets are required.
Suited for Code-Mandated High-Reliability Circuits
This single outlet serves projects that demand hospital-grade listing, a four-point grounding system and current-interrupting certification. It is not suited for applications needing a duplex outlet, a locking NEMA configuration, or a device rated above 20 A.
20 A 125 V AC Rating
The decisive specification is the 20 A, 125 V AC rating combined with the 5-20R NEMA configuration; only circuits designed for that exact amperage and voltage should use this receptacle.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 20 A version for my 125 V circuit?
This receptacle is rated 20 A at 125 V AC, so it matches a 20 A branch circuit protected by a 20 A breaker and 12 AWG or 10 AWG copper conductors.
What does the 20 A rating mean when the receptacle is installed?
It can carry a continuous 20 A load on a properly wired 20 A circuit; the brass contacts with nickel-plated bypass and four-point grounding maintain continuity under full rated current.
How does the NEMA 5-20R configuration limit what I can plug in?
The 5-20R face accepts straight-blade plugs with one horizontal and one vertical blade plus ground; it will not accept twist-lock or other NEMA patterns.
