Hubbell HBL61CM64 15 Amp 125v 2 Pole 3 Wire Gray Outlet

Equip your vessel with reliable power access that stands up to the harshest marine conditions. This robust gray male inlet delivers consistent 15A at 125V performance, engineered specifically for boaters who demand unwavering dependability dockside or underway. Crafted by Hubbell, a name synonymous with electrical excellence in tough environments, it transforms fleeting shore power connections into seamless, worry-free experiences.

Key Features That Set It Apart

What makes this inlet a go-to for marine professionals and avid boat owners? It's the thoughtful design details that prioritize protection and ease:

• Weatherproof Flip Lid: Seals out rain, spray, and dust automatically when not in use, ensuring internals stay dry even during unexpected squalls.
• Protective Boot Over Terminals: Adds an extra layer of defense against corrosion and moisture ingress, a common foe in saltwater settings.
• Multiple Drive Screws: Facilitate quick, secure mounting on bulkheads or decks without stripping—perfect for on-the-water repairs.
• Nickel-Plated Brass Blades: Resist oxidation and wear, maintaining solid contact for years of heavy use.

Unlike everyday outlets, this 2-pole, 3-wire grounding design meets stringent marine standards, preventing shocks and faults in wet, conductive atmospheres.

Superior Build for Real-World Marine Demands

Boats face relentless exposure to UV rays, humidity, and vibration. This inlet's compact footprint—measuring just 1.47 inches high by 1.32 inches wide—fits snugly into tight compartments without sacrificing power capacity up to 1875W. Its dielectric strength withstands 2000V minimum, offering peace of mind during power surges from generators or shore supplies.

Screw terminals accept #14 to #10 AWG wire, making it versatile for various cord setups. At a featherlight 0.25 lb, installation feels effortless, yet the single-phase construction handles everyday loads like charging batteries, running appliances, or powering tools with ease.
