Overview
The Hubbell HBL2515 Insulgrip twist-lock flanged inlet delivers reliable power distribution for three-phase industrial and commercial applications. This 20A inlet features NEMA L21-20P configuration rated for 120/208VAC 3-phase service. The back-wired termination design simplifies installation while maintaining a secure, lockable connection that resists accidental disconnection—critical for equipment that cannot tolerate unexpected power loss.
