Bryant Single Receptacle, Multiple NEMA Configurations Available

The Bryant single receptacle line gives electrical contractors and facility teams a dependable point of connection across a range of NEMA configurations, from standard straight-blade patterns to heavy-duty locking styles. This family is available in NEMA 5-15R, 15A 125V straight-blade configuration as well as NEMA L2-20R Locking, NEMA L5-20R Locking, and NEMA L5-30R Locking configurations, allowing you to specify the exact device your application requires. Each device in the family is a single-configuration receptacle dedicated to one NEMA pattern, so it accepts only its correctly matched plug, helping reduce the risk of an incompatible connection on the job site. Bryant engineers wiring devices for the rigors of daily commercial and industrial use, and this receptacle family carries that design philosophy across both straight-blade and locking formats.

Key Features

  • NEMA Configuration Range: Available in NEMA 5-15R (15A 125V), NEMA L2-20R Locking, NEMA L5-20R Locking, and NEMA L5-30R Locking configurations to match a wide range of plug and equipment requirements.
  • Locking Configurations: The L2-20R, L5-20R, and L5-30R locking-style options are designed to mate exclusively with their corresponding locking plugs, helping prevent accidental disconnection under vibration or movement.
  • Single Receptacle Design: Every device in this family is a single-configuration receptacle dedicated to one NEMA pattern, simplifying identification and reducing cross-connection errors in multi-device panels or gang boxes.
  • Correct Plug Matching: Each NEMA pattern ensures the receptacle only accepts its correctly rated, correspondingly configured plug, supporting a correct and secure connection every time regardless of which configuration is selected.
  • Bryant Build Quality: Manufactured by Bryant, a recognized name in commercial-grade wiring devices, for dependable long-term performance in demanding electrical environments.
  • Professional-Grade Application: Suited for facilities, industrial equipment, and job sites where either a standard straight-blade device or a locking receptacle is specified.

Why Bryant?

Bryant has long been a trusted source for wiring devices used by electrical professionals, and this single receptacle family continues that standard across straight-blade and NEMA locking configurations built for secure, reliable connections. Choosing a Bryant receptacle means specifying a device engineered for the demands of commercial and industrial electrical work, where a dependable mechanical connection matters as much as the electrical one. Whether the application calls for a standard NEMA 5-15R device or a locking L2-20R, L5-20R, or L5-30R configuration, electricians and facility managers can select the exact pattern needed from a single, recognized wiring device manufacturer.

Bryant BRY5261 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which NEMA configurations does the Bryant single receptacle come in, and what are the part numbers?
Four configurations, each its own part number: NEMA 5-15R 15A 125V straight blade is 5261, NEMA L2-20R locking is 7210B, NEMA L5-20R locking is 70520IG, and NEMA L5-30R locking is 70530IG. Each device is dedicated to a single NEMA pattern, so you order the exact pattern the equipment plug uses rather than a device that covers several.
2) Will a standard 15A 125V plug fit the Bryant L5-20R or L5-30R locking receptacle?
No. The L5-20R (70520IG) and L5-30R (70530IG) are twist-lock devices that mate only with their matching locking plug, so a straight-blade 5-15P will not insert. If the cord on your equipment has a straight blade 15A 125V plug, the receptacle you want is the 5261 in NEMA 5-15R.
3) I need a locking receptacle for a portable generator hookup. Which Bryant configuration should I pick?
Match the configuration to the cord end on the generator or equipment, not to the amperage alone. For a 125V locking connection at 20A, use the L5-20R (70520IG); for 125V at 30A, use the L5-30R (70530IG). The L2-20R (7210B) is a different pole and blade pattern again and only takes an L2-20P. Bryant lists generator and temporary power hookups among the applications for these locking devices.
4) Is the Pass and Seymour Turnlok 3330 a substitute for the Bryant 70530IG L5-30R receptacle?
No. The Pass and Seymour 3330 is a Turnlok 30A single receptacle in a non-NEMA configuration, so while the amperage is comparable to the L5-30R Bryant 70530IG, the blade pattern is not a NEMA pattern and will not accept an L5-30P plug. Use the 3330 only where the mating plugs are already Turnlok non-NEMA; for standard L5-30 cordsets, stay with the Bryant L5-30R device.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Bryant 5261 single receptacle from another manufacturer?
The Bryant 5261 is the NEMA 5-15R, 15A 125V straight-blade device in the Bryant single receptacle family. The nearest cross-brand match in a single-outlet format is the Eaton 816W, a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. If the opening needs two outlets on the same yoke instead of one, the Eaton 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade duplex receptacle, 15A 125V, 5-15R, in gray.
6) Can I use a Bryant single receptacle in a hazardous location?
The Bryant single receptacle family covers standard commercial and industrial straight-blade and locking configurations - NEMA 5-15R, L2-20R, L5-20R and L5-30R - and is intended for general facility, industrial and temporary power wiring. For a classified area, specify a device built for it: the Appleton FSQC series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle, and the Appleton U-Line ECS is a factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp 3-pole plug and receptacle set.
7) What should I use if my circuit is 277V rather than 125V?
The straight-blade option in the Bryant single receptacle family, the 5261, is a NEMA 5-15R 15A 125V device and is not for a 277V circuit. For 277V, the Pass and Seymour 5762 is a specification grade duplex self-grounding receptacle rated 15A 277V.
8) I need a locking receptacle rated above 30 amps - what should I use instead of the Bryant 70530IG?
The Bryant 70530IG covers the NEMA L5-30R locking pattern, which tops out the locking configurations in the Bryant single receptacle family. For a higher-amperage locking device, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC in black, built to an extra heavy duty grade. Confirm the plug on the equipment matches before ordering, since the 7379 covers a different voltage class than an L5-30R device.
9) Why use a locking receptacle instead of a straight-blade one on equipment that vibrates?
A twist-lock device holds the plug mechanically once it is rotated into place, which is why Bryant's L2-20R, L5-20R and L5-30R options are specified where vibration or equipment movement could pull a straight-blade cord loose. A straight-blade 5-15R like the 5261 relies only on blade friction, which is fine for general-purpose 125V circuits but not for a pump, blower, or portable machine you cannot afford to have drop out.
10) Single receptacle or duplex, which do I want for a dedicated piece of equipment?
For a dedicated circuit, the single is the right call. Every Bryant device here is a single receptacle carrying one NEMA pattern, so there is no second outlet for someone to plug a vacuum into on a circuit sized for one machine, and identification in a multi-device panel or gang box stays unambiguous. If you want two outlets on a general 15A 125V circuit instead, a duplex like the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W in 5-15R covers that.
11) My spec calls for an isolated ground 20A receptacle - does the Bryant 70520IG cover it or do I need something else?
The Bryant 70520IG is the NEMA L5-20R locking configuration in the Bryant single receptacle family, so it suits equipment with a twist-lock 20A cordset. If the equipment uses a straight-blade 20A 125V cord cap instead, the Pass and Seymour IG5362-I is a heavy-duty spec grade isolated ground duplex receptacle rated 20A 125V in ivory. The two are not interchangeable - one is locking, the other straight-blade duplex.
12) Is there a decorator-style single receptacle alternative to the Bryant 5261?
The Bryant 5261 is a standard straight-blade NEMA 5-15R single receptacle. If the cover plate schedule calls for a decorator opening instead, the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors. Both are single-outlet devices, but they take different wall plates.
13) Does any comparable receptacle add automatic load shedding for an energy code requirement?
The Bryant single receptacle family is a straight electrical connection point in 5-15R, L2-20R, L5-20R and L5-30R patterns with no integral control. Where a controlled receptacle is required, the Pass and Seymour PLT26351 is a heavy duty spec grade plug load timer receptacle rated 20A 125V.
