FAQs
To install, strip conductors to suit #18-10 AWG, insert into the back-wire clamps, and tighten to 14 lbf-in of torque on brass contacts. Verify two-wire, non-grounding operation and that the NEMA 1-15P receptacle configuration matches your corded device. This method reduces field termination time and minimizes stray conductors.
Yes. The 2600W-BU is rated for 15A and 125V, making it compatible with standard US/Canadian residential circuits. Its non-grounding, non-polarized design is intended for specific legacy wiring scenarios where a simple two-wire connection is acceptable, while maintaining regulatory compliance.
This plug supports cord ranges 18-2 through 16-2 SPT-1 or HPN. It accepts conductors up to #18-10 AWG with insulation piercing or back-wire terminations, depending on the installation. This broad compatibility reduces the need for adapters and simplifies stocking for residential wiring jobs.
The 2600W-BU carries cRUus certification and meets Federal Specification Classification 6221 02. These approvals confirm compliance for residential wiring devices in the US and Canada, supporting safe, code-aligned installations and reducing project risk in home wiring projects.
Common uses include replacing worn outlets in residential settings, retrofitting legacy fixtures where non-grounding, two-wire connections are acceptable, and servicing corded tools and small appliances on 125V circuits. Its back-wire option and thermoplastic body enable quick terminations, reliable performance, and straightforward stock management for contractors.
