FAQs
Installation uses back-wire clamps that accept #14-8 AWG conductors. Strip and insert wires into the back-wire terminals, then tighten the screws to secure the connection. Ensure the device is rated for 250V and 15A, connect the grounding conductor to the ground terminal, and verify the 6-15P NEMA configuration matches your receptacle. This reduces wiring errors and speeds up panel wiring.
The 1449 is cULus Listed, indicating UL safety certification with CSA recognition for electrical components used in industrial settings. This designation supports compliance with essential safety standards, simplifies procurement specifications, and helps ensure safe operation in harsh environments where equipment uptime is critical.
Yes. The plug features a nylon body with corrosion-resistant construction and nickel-plated brass contacts, which resist corrosion and maintain conductivity in challenging environments. This makes the 1449 well-suited for industrial facilities with exposure to chemicals, humidity, or dusty atmospheres while preserving electrical integrity.
The device is a two-pole, three-wire grounding plug configured as 6-15P, rated at 15A and 250V. It accepts #14-8 AWG wiring and a cord diameter of 0.38–1 inch. This combination supports common industrial feeders and control circuits, simplifying compatibility with standard receptacles and minimizing stocking requirements.
The 1449's corrosion-resistant materials, robust copper/brass contacts, and reliable back-wire terminations reduce maintenance needs and replacement frequency. Its rugged nylon-thermoplastic housing protects internal connections, contributing to longer service life and lower total cost of ownership in plants with high vibration, dust, or chemical exposure.
