FAQs
To install the WD1447BK, first ensure power is disconnected. Prepare conductors to the appropriate length, strip to the correct gauge, and insert into the back-wire clamps as indicated by the device markings. Tighten screws to the recommended torque, verify the grounding path, and test continuity after installation. This method simplifies field terminations while maintaining a secure, code-compliant connection.
The WD1447BK is rated for 15A at 125V and uses a NEMA 5-15R configuration for compatibility with common receptacles. It features two-pole, three-wire with grounding and is designed for industrial environments. When selecting compatible receptacles, verify the polarity, wire gauge, and mounting arrangement to ensure reliable mating and safe operation.
Yes. The plug features corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass contacts and a nylon body designed for harsh industrial environments. This combination reduces corrosion wear, extends service life, and lowers maintenance downtime in washdown zones, chemical handling areas, and outdoor installations typical of manufacturing and processing facilities.
WD1447BK carries cULus Listed certification, indicating compliance with recognized safety standards for electrical products in North America. This certification supports compliance during audits, minimizes risk for installation in regulated facilities, and provides assurance that the device meets rigorous safety criteria for industrial wiring devices.
The combination of corrosion-resistant contacts, rugged nylon construction, and a back-wire termination reduces maintenance frequency and labor costs. Its robust design minimizes downtime during replacements and field servicing, delivering a faster return on investment through fewer part changes, longer intervals between service, and improved system reliability in demanding environments.
