120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 8). You can use the same 4-wire cord if
you plan to run a 120Volt load.
NOTE: A typical unit is shown here, your unit may differ
in appearance.
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object
• Faceexposed end away from wind and elements.
