Eaton L730RW Watertight Locking Receptacle - IP66/NEMA 4X
Part Number: L730RW
Quick Summary
The Eaton L730RW watertight locking receptacle delivers secure, high-amperage power for outdoor and harsh-environment equipment. Maintenance teams often struggle with loose connections and water ingress that disrupt uptime and increase servicing costs. This locking receptacle carries RoHS compliance and NOM cULus listing, with an IP66-rated housing and multiple NEMA configurations (3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12) to survive rain, dust, and washdown. By supporting #14-8 AWG back wiring and a durable thermoplastic body, it simplifies installations and reduces terminal fatigue on field labor. The yellow color enhances visibility in cluttered environments, while the nickel-plated bronze contacts deliver reliable conductivity in industrial power systems. This combination offers durable, compliant power distribution for daily industrial operations.

FAQs
The L730RW supports back wiring for #14-8 AWG conductors, enabling a clean termination with reduced field terminations. Installers gain faster panel integration and fewer terminal issues in tight spaces. For best results, follow the included torque recommendations, ensure terminals are clean, and secure strain relief to prevent conductor movement during operation.
This receptacle is RoHS compliant and NOM cULus Listed, aligning with regional safety and environmental requirements. It also provides IP66 environmental resistance and supports NEMA 3, 3R, 4, 4X, and 12 configurations, making it suitable for outdoor, washdown, and harsh industrial settings while maintaining regulatory compliance.
With IP66 and NEMA 3/3R/4/4X/12 ratings, the L730RW excels in outdoor installations, washdown areas, dusty manufacturing floors, and other harsh environments. Its yellow thermoplastic housing enhances visibility, and the locking mechanism ensures secure connections in vibration-prone environments such as conveyors, pumps, and outdoor equipment.
Begin by confirming the outlet’s L7-30 two-pole, three-wire configuration and power rating of 30A at 277V. Use #14-8 AWG wire with back-wiring and secure a compliant strain relief. Mount to a compatible box, tighten fittings to IP66 requirements, and verify the locking receptacle engages fully with plugs designed for L7-30 locking outlets to prevent accidental disconnection.
The locking mechanism and watertight seal reduce plug-disconnect events and water ingress, lowering unplanned downtime. Its durable thermoplastic housing and corrosion-resistant contacts extend service life in washdown areas, reducing replacement cycles. Compliance with RoHS and NOM cULus can streamline procurement and asset qualification for regulated facilities, delivering measurable total-cost-of-ownership improvements.
