Cooper Wiring Devices L520-P – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which NEMA configurations does the Cooper severe duty watertight locking connector come in?
Three configurations are offered: L5-20 (2-pole, 125 volts, MPN L520-P), L15-20 (3-pole, 250 volts, MPN L1520-P), and L21-30 (4-pole, 120/208 volts, MPN L2130PW). Pick by the configuration already on the cord cap or receptacle you are mating to, since locking configurations are not cross-compatible.
2) What cord diameter will this watertight locking connector clamp on?
The Ultra Grip cord clamp accepts jacket diameters from 0.43 to 1.15 inches. Anything thinner than 0.43 inch will not seal or grip properly, and a cable over 1.15 inches will not close into the body, so measure the jacket OD on the cordset before ordering.
3) Will the 250 volt 3-pole version work on my 120/208 three-phase equipment cord?
No. The 3-pole variant (L1520-P) is a 250 volt L15-20 device with no neutral. For 120/208 volt three-phase with a neutral you need the 4-pole, 5-wire version, MPN L2130PW. Mixing them will not physically mate and leaves you without the neutral the load needs.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Cooper L2130PW four-pole locking connector from another brand?
The nearest match in a competing line is the Leviton 2323, a 5-wire 4-pole industrial grade locking connector rated 20A. The Cooper severe duty connector in its four-pole configuration is the L2130PW at 120/208 volts, built with steel contacts and a watertight IP67 housing with Ultra Grip cord clamping for cord diameters of 0.43 to 1.15 in. The Leviton is described as industrial grade; if the wet-location or washdown exposure is the driver, the IP67 watertight construction is the distinguishing feature of the Cooper.
5) Will a Leviton 2313 work in place of the Cooper L1520-P?
No, they are different configurations. The Leviton 2313 is a 3-wire 2-pole industrial grade connector, 125V 30A, NEMA L5-30R. The Cooper L1520-P is the three-pole 250-volt option in the severe duty family. The pole count and voltage differ, so the two will not mate with the same cap.
6) Is this connector back-wired or side-wired?
Termination is back wiring, so conductors land on back-wired terminals inside the body rather than under side screws. That speeds up field termination on a cordset and keeps the conductor bends inside the shell.
7) How many conductors does the 4-pole version of this Cooper locking connector take?
Five. The L21-30 configuration (MPN L2130PW) is 4-pole, 5-wire at 120/208 volts, which is three hots, a neutral and a ground, the usual arrangement for three-phase wye cord drops.
8) I do not need a watertight connector indoors. What is a cheaper locking connector option?
For dry indoor industrial use, a non-watertight body is enough. ZenSupply carries the Leviton 2313 industrial grade L5-30R 2-pole 3-wire connector at 125V 30A, the Leviton 2413 industrial 3-pole 4-wire at 125/250V, and the Leviton 2323 industrial 4-pole 5-wire at 20A. Go to the Cooper severe duty watertight body when the connection sees weather, immersion or washdown, since that is where the IP67 rating earns its keep.
9) Is a non-metallic locking connector a substitute for this steel severe duty one?
Not an equal swap. The Bryant 71020NC is a non-metallic 7 Series NEMA locking connector and the Bryant 70520NCC is a 705 Series connector, both suited to lighter or corrosive-exposure duty where a nonmetallic shell is preferred. The Cooper unit is a steel-bodied, IP67 watertight device for severe duty industrial cord connections. Match the NEMA configuration first either way, since the shell material does not make configurations interchangeable.
10) What is a non-metallic alternative to a steel-bodied locking connector?
The Bryant 71020NC is a non-metallic NEMA locking connector in the 7 Series, and the Bryant 70520NCC is a 705 Series locking connector. The Cooper severe duty connector is built with steel contacts and a steel body, so if the application calls for a non-conductive housing the Bryant non-metallic unit is the one to specify.
11) What three-pole four-wire locking connector is comparable for a 125/250V cordset?
The Leviton 2413 is an industrial locking connector, 4-wire 3-pole, 125/250V. The Cooper severe duty family's three-pole option is the L1520-P at 250 volts, so for a 125/250V three-pole opening the Leviton is the match on configuration. The Cooper adds a watertight IP67 housing and back-wired terminals for field termination.
12) Are the contacts brass or steel on this severe duty connector?
Steel contacts, and the body material is listed as steel as well. That is the severe duty construction, aimed at industrial duty cycles and repeated plugging rather than light commercial use.
