Leviton 15 Amp Grounding Plug 515PV Yellow Commercial Plug

Description

Product Overview

The Leviton 515PV grounding plug is engineered for demanding electrical installations where safety, durability, and compliance are non‑negotiable. Constructed from high‑grade copper‑tinned metal, the plug provides excellent conductivity while resisting corrosion in harsh environments. Its Type B NEMA configuration is clearly molded on the face, allowing quick visual verification of voltage and amperage ratings—15 A at 125 V—so electricians can work with confidence.

Every component of this plug has been optimized for performance. The deep‑slotted, backed‑out terminal screws draw back‑wire clamps securely, ensuring a low‑resistance connection that minimizes heat buildup. The built‑in cord grip automatically adjusts to accommodate wire gauges ranging from 18‑3 to 12‑3, eliminating the need for additional adapters and reducing installation time. The plug’s compact dimensions—1.7 × 1.7 × 2.8 inches—and lightweight design (1.6 oz) make it easy to route through conduit, panels, and equipment enclosures.

Leviton’s commitment to quality is reflected in the 10‑year limited warranty that accompanies every unit. This warranty underscores the product’s commercial‑grade reliability and provides peace of mind for both professional contractors and DIY hobbyists. The plug is also UL‑listed and meets all applicable NEMA specifications, guaranteeing that it will perform consistently in a wide range of applications, from industrial machinery to residential lighting circuits.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the 515PV grounding plug excels in a variety of settings. In commercial facilities, it is commonly used to power heavy‑duty equipment, HVAC units, and motor‑driven systems where a secure ground connection is essential for safety. In residential environments, the plug is ideal for connecting appliances, power tools, and lighting fixtures that require a reliable 125 V supply.

Electricians appreciate the plug’s ease of installation. The intuitive terminal layout reduces the chance of wiring errors, while the cord grip’s self‑adjusting feature accommodates different wire sizes without the need for additional hardware. This makes the plug a favorite for new construction projects, retrofits, and maintenance work where time efficiency is critical.

DIY enthusiasts also benefit from the plug’s user‑friendly design. Whether you are assembling a custom lighting rig, building a portable power station, or upgrading a home workshop, the plug’s clear labeling and robust construction simplify the process, allowing you to focus on creativity rather than troubleshooting.
