Eaton Specification Sheet - WLRS L5 20
Copper-free aluminum housing provides robust corrosion resistance for wet locations, helping protect exposed power connections in outdoor enclosures. The material choice translates to longer service life and lower replacement costs, especially in damp, chemically aggressive environments common in manufacturing yards and outdoor equipment bays. This WLRS L5 20 cover also supports reliable gasket sealing and weatherproof integrity when paired with standard receptacles, reducing field failures and post-install remediation. 20A, 125Vac operation with a two-pole, three-wire L5-20R configuration ensures compatibility with locking blade plugs, enabling quick, secure field replacements. This setup simplifies wiring practices and accelerates panel upgrades, while maintaining code compliance. Engineers gain predictable performance and procurement gains from a standardized, widely supported configuration that aligns with existing plant infrastructure and maintenance routines. Vertical mounting orientation simplifies alignment and gasket engagement in crowded electrical spaces, while the 1-3/8 inch opening diameter matches standard receptacle sizes for reliable mating and weather sealing. This reduces misalignment during installation and ensures consistent sealing across varying enclosures, contributing to longer-term reliability in factory floors and outdoor sites. UL wet-location listing and NEC/CEC compliance provide confidence across projects and expedite approvals in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. These certifications support risk management for contractors and end users, reducing verification steps and accelerating procurement. By adhering to recognized standards, this cover minimizes compliance overhead while delivering dependable protection for power connections in demanding environments. Compact, lightweight geometry (0.65 lb; 4.44 in L x 2.91 in H x 1.13 in W) minimizes handling challenges and enables easier retrofits in crowded electrical rooms. The result is faster installations, less site downtime, and reduced labor costs. When paired with locking blade plugs and WLRS enclosures, it delivers a streamlined solution for reliable, code-compliant power distribution outdoors.
