Eaton 14W48 Watertight Straight Blade Plug - IP67
Part Number: 14W48
Quick Summary
Eaton 14W48 watertight straight blade plug delivers secure, back-wire power connections for industrial equipment. In harsh environments, moisture ingress and loose terminations can halt production. Its IP67 sealing and cULus listing provide reliable industrial performance. Designed for #18-10 AWG conductors with back-wire or screw-terminals, it streamlines installation. By supporting 20A at 250V and two-pole, three-wire grounding, it reduces panel redesigns while offering fast, compliant terminations for rugged facilities. Color-coded yellow body aids quick identification and safer wiring in large panel installations.

IP67 sealing is a foundational feature of the 14W48, guarding the terminals against water, dust, and accidental ingress in demanding environments. This level of protection translates into fewer moisture-related outages, reduced corrosion risk, and longer service life for motors, pumps, and conveyors in wash-downs and outdoor installations. Back-wire termination plus traditional screw connections offer installation flexibility for field technicians, enabling rapid terminations with #18-10 AWG conductors and consistent torque at 14 lbf-in. The combination minimizes rework, supports NEC-compliant wiring, and improves overall panel reliability in high-vibration or exposure-heavy settings. Rated at 20A and 250V with a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration (6-20P), this receptacle aligns with a broad set of industrial equipment and reduces the need for adapters or rewiring. The robust nickel-plated brass contacts deliver low contact resistance and durable performance under frequent plug-and-unplug cycles. Constructed with a Santoprene thermoplastic elastomer body, the plug offers chemical resistance, temperature resilience, and color-coding in yellow for quick identification in crowded panels. The thermoplastic design supports reliable service in damp or wet locations, even under vibration and frequent handling. Core-pack packaging and compact form factor streamline stocking and shipping, enabling faster deployment and lower total cost of ownership on large projects. In short, the 14W48 delivers secure, compliant power connections with flexible wiring options for industrial facilities. Compatibility notes and practical deployment tips help installers reduce downtime during large-scale rollouts. Pairing 14W48 with matching Eaton Arrow Hart locking devices ensures consistent interlock behavior and lowers operator training time on new line installations.

FAQs
The 14W48 supports #18-10 AWG conductors with both back-wire and screw-terminals. Begin by loosening the terminal screws, insert conductors to the appropriate back-wire holes or screw clamps, ensure solid engagement, then torque to 14 lbf-inch. Verify polarity and conduct a quick continuity check before energizing the circuit.
Yes. The 14W48 carries IP67 sealing and a damp/wet environment rating, which protects against ingress and reduces moisture-related faults. It’s ideal for wash-down areas, outdoor installations, and other moisture-prone industrial settings.
The 14W48 is cULus Listed, indicating compliance with North American safety standards. This certification, together with its IP67 rating, provides assurance for reliable operation in harsh environments and supports regulatory compliance during audits and quality programs.
The receptacle uses a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration (6-20P) and accepts #18-10 AWG conductors. Its nickel-plated brass contacts and back-wire/screw-terminals support robust, code-compliant connections for a wide range of industrial equipment and motor controllers.
Its back-wire plus screw-terminals offer flexible, rapid terminations, reducing installation time. IP67 protection minimizes maintenance due to moisture ingress, and the color-coded yellow body improves wiring accuracy, lowering the risk of miswiring. Overall, these features contribute to lower downtime and longer mean time between failures.
