A heavy‑duty industrial‑grade receptacle engineered for high‑amperage 250‑volt power applications.
The WD1252‑BOX is a 50‑amp, 250‑volt, 2‑pole, 3‑wire grounding surface‑mount receptacle designed for demanding commercial, industrial, and workshop environments. Manufactured under Eaton’s Cooper Wiring Devices / Arrow Hart line, this power receptacle provides robust performance for welders, shop tools, machinery, and high‑load equipment requiring a NEMA 6‑50R configuration. Its surface‑mount enclosure provides installation flexibility, making it ideal for mounting on walls, equipment frames, or shop fixtures where in‑wall wiring is not preferred.
This model features a heavy‑gauge galvanized steel mounting strap and a glass‑filled nylon body, delivering excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance, and long‑term durability in harsh operating environments. Installers benefit from lay‑in terminals that accept up to #4 AWG conductors, along with concentric knockouts and an adjustable cord clamp, allowing wiring from the back or bottom of the unit. These features make the WD1252‑BOX a top choice for applications requiring secure loading, thick wiring, and high reliability.
Whether used in manufacturing shops, garages, agricultural properties, or industrial power stations, this 50A grounding receptacle ensures stable performance under frequent use and heavy electrical loads. Its rugged construction and installer‑focused design make it a dependable solution for modern power distribution needs.
