FAQs

When wiring 15W47, use the back-wire method with #18-10 AWG conductors and secure the screws to achieve a reliable termination. Torque the screws to 14 lbf-in to prevent looseness and ensure IP67 sealing remains intact. Confirm the NEMA 5-15R configuration matches your cord set and safety practices to maintain compliant, safe operation.
The 15W47 is rated for 15A at 125V and configured as a two-pole, three-wire receptacle with grounding (NEMA 5-15R). It supports back-wire and screw terminations and has a torque rating of 14 lbf-in to ensure solid contacts. This combination aligns with standard industrial loads and safety requirements.
The 15W47 is ideal for control panels, washdown zones, outdoor equipment, and damp process lines in industrial facilities. Its IP67 protection, Santoprene body, and yellow housing enable reliable operation in harsh environments while maintaining visibility and ease of maintenance in crowded or demanding enclosures.
The 15W47 carries cULus Listed certification and IP67 environmental protection, with a damp/wet operating condition rating. These credentials support regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and quality audits, making it suitable for facilities that require validated safety and environmental performance.
Using the 15W47 reduces downtime through robust moisture sealing and durable contacts, while back-wire wiring speeds up field installations. Standard 5-15R compatibility minimizes cord changes and spares, and its corrosion-resistant materials extend service life in challenging environments, yielding a favorable total cost of ownership for maintenance-heavy industrial applications.
