FAQs
The 1876BK supports side-wire wiring with #14-10 AWG conductors and screw terminals. This combination enables secure terminations, reduces installer effort, and improves reliability in commercial installations. The design accommodates three conductors for a two-pole receptacle configuration, ensuring proper grounding and load distribution in wall outlets and mounting positions.
Yes. The Eaton 1876BK is RoHS Compliant and carries multiple certifications, including cULus Listed, NOM, and Federal Specification Classification 6233 01. These certifications validate safety, regulatory compliance, and suitability for use in commercial electrical applications, helping you meet project requirements and code expectations with confidence.
The 1876BK is ideal for commercial power distribution in offices, retail spaces, and other high-traffic areas. Its 20A, 250V rating and NEMA 6-20R configuration make it suitable for mid-range electrical loads, while the flush-mount design provides a clean finished look in walls and panels, supporting code-compliant installations across commercial facilities.
Auto-grounding simplifies safety and compliance by providing an inherent ground path as the receptacle is installed. This reduces the risk of missing or poor grounding during field wiring, speeds up commissioning, and minimizes post-installation adjustments. Combined with durable brass contacts, it enhances longevity and reduces maintenance needs in busy environments.
Durable materials (brass contacts, nylon face, PVC bottom), a robust 14 lbf-inch torque, and a 6-20R configuration reduce failure rates and replacement costs in high-use spaces. RoHS and cULus certifications simplify regulatory compliance, while core-pack packaging supports efficient procurement. Together, these factors lower lifecycle costs and improve uptime for facilities and contractors.
