Copper-free aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in wet locations, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs in outdoor or washdown areas. The rugged housing also helps minimize downtime due to component degradation. 15A, 250V rating with a 6-15R configuration supports non-locking blade plugs, simplifying part interchangeability and field replacements, while enabling straightforward expansion of portable power. Vertical mounting, a 1-3/8" opening, and compact dimensions (4.44" depth, 2.91" height, 1.13" width) ensure predictable fit in constrained spaces and streamline retrofit projects. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and ordinary/non-hazardous location rating provides essential code confidence for commercial and industrial installations. The combination of durable enclosure and standard plug compatibility reduces total cost of ownership and supports faster commissioning. Industry context notes that WLRS series interfaces well with common conduit and device-box footprints, delivering reliable performance with minimal maintenance.

FAQs
Yes. The WLRS 6 15 is designed for non-locking blade plug configurations (6-15R) and ships for vertical mounting. It uses copper-free aluminum housing with a 1-3/8" opening to accommodate standard 6-15R receptacles, while the compact 4.44" depth and 2.91" height help fit tight enclosures. This combination simplifies retrofits and reduces the need for custom cutouts, speeding installation and improving field reliability.
The assembly is rated for 15A at 250V AC, configured as a 6-15R receptacle. The opening diameter is 1-3/8" to accommodate standard non-locking blade plugs. The housing is copper-free aluminum and is intended for vertical mounting in wet location environments, enabling safe, code-compliant power distribution in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Best suited for wet location covers on device boxes in ordinary/non-hazardous areas such as outdoor equipment, docks, processing floors, and maintenance bays. Its vertical mount aligns with typical conduit runs, and the 15A/250V rating supports portable tools and temporary power. The rugged copper-free aluminum resists corrosion, reducing maintenance frequency in damp environments.
WLRS 6 15 complies with NEC and CEC standards and is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, ensuring code compliance for commercial and industrial installations. The product fits the Crouse-Hinds wet location family and matches the WLRS/WLRD/WLG catalog specification pages, providing reliable performance under moist conditions. Use with the IF 584 installation sheet for correct mounting.
Using the WLRS 6 15 reduces maintenance and downtime by delivering a durable, corrosion-resistant enclosure with a standard, replaceable 6-15R receptacle. Copper-free aluminum minimizes corrosion risk in damp locations, while the compact form, straightforward vertical mounting, and widely available non-locking plugs simplify field replacements and audits. The result is faster commissioning, fewer leaks, and longer intervals between service.
