The P&S 5851-I refers to the Legrand Pass & Seymour 20 Amp, 250 Volt Heavy-Duty Specification Grade Single Receptacle finished in Ivory.
Unlike common dual-outlet duplex receptacles, this is a dedicated single-outlet port designed to supply safe, high-voltage power to a single heavy appliance, such as a large window air conditioner, workshop power tool, or commercial kitchen machine.
Key Specifications & Electrical Design
- Electrical Ratings: 20 Amp continuous current • 250 VAC operational voltage • NEMA 6-20R configuration • 2-Pole, 3-Wire grounding layout.
- Wiring System: Features an internal screw-pressure-plate mechanism that accommodates both back and side wiring. It cleanly accepts #14 to #10 AWG solid or stranded copper wire.
- High-Torque Construction: Built with two dedicated anchor drive screws that lock the heavy-duty zinc-plated steel strap to both the back body and face. This reinforces the outlet against abrupt pull-out torque when heavy appliance cords are yanked out.
- Premium Power Contacts: Equipped with a one-piece brass, triple-wipe contact layout to maximize surface contact and guarantee long-term blade retention.
- Safety Certifications: Outfitted with an auto-grounding clip for instant ground path assurance in metal junction boxes. It fully complies with UL 498 and CSA C22.2 No. 42 standards. (13d)
