Application Examples
- Commercial and light-industrial equipment requiring NEMA 6-20R, 250V outlets.
- Workshops and labs using higher-voltage tools or appliances.
- Education and healthcare facilities standardizing on specification grade devices.
- Retrofits where side-wire terminations speed up replacement cycles.
Installation Tips
- Confirm the branch circuit is 250V, 20A and the load uses a 6-20P plug.
- Use #14–10 AWG copper conductors; tighten terminal screws to 14 lbf-in.
- Bond the yoke to a grounded metal box; the auto-grounding clip assists with grounding.
- Maintain correct polarity on two-pole, three-wire circuits; follow local codes.
- De-energize the circuit and verify with a tester before working.
