Leviton 2310 20A 125V NEMA L5-20R Locking Receptacle

The Leviton 2310 is a high-quality, industrial-grade single locking receptacle designed for secure and reliable power connections in demanding environments. Rated at 20 amps and 125 volts, it features a NEMA L5-20R configuration, which includes a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection, making it ideal for applications where vibration or movement could disrupt standard plugs. This receptacle is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and construction settings for powering tools, machinery, and equipment requiring grounded 125V service. Key features include a rugged nylon body for durability, brass contacts for superior conductivity, and UL 94 V-0 rated flame-retardant materials for safety. Advantages over similar products include Leviton's reputation for longevity and compliance with UL and CSA standards, reducing the risk of electrical faults. Benefits include easy installation with back and side wiring options, compatibility with copper wire only, and a compact flush-mount design that saves space. Drawbacks may include a higher cost compared to non-locking alternatives and the need for matching L5-20P plugs. Overall, it provides enhanced safety and reliability, with applications in workshops, data centers, and temporary power setups. Based on image analysis, this unit appears to be in new or unused condition with no visible wear, though labels suggest possible surplus stock.
