Leviton LEV26W48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 26W48 plug mate with an L6-20R receptacle on my 240V circuit?
Yes. The 26W48 is wired to the NEMA L6-20P configuration, which is the plug half of the L6-20 twist-lock pair, so it mates only with an L6-20R receptacle or connector body. It is a 2-pole, 3-wire device rated 20A at 250V, 1-phase, meaning two hot legs plus ground and no neutral. If your cordset needs a neutral, L6-20 is the wrong configuration.
2) I need 30 amps at 250V with a locking plug. Is the 26W48 the right part?
No. The 26W48 tops out at 20A and is an L6-20P, so it will not fit an L6-30R and must not be put on a 30A circuit. For 30A two-pole three-wire at 250V, the Eaton L6-30 locking plug is the matching configuration. For much larger loads, the Eaton 7765 armored locking plug is rated 50A at 600V/250Vdc with back-wiring.
3) Is the Bryant 4722N a substitute for the Leviton 26W48?
No. The Bryant 4722N is an angle locking plug in the NEMA L5-15P configuration rated 15A 125V, while the Leviton 26W48 is NEMA L6-20P rated 20A 250V. Different blade pattern and different circuit - they will not interchange. The 4722N also uses an angled body, where the 26W48 is a straight Wetguard/Dustguard housing in yellow.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Leviton 26W48 locking plug for a 20A wet-location cordset?
The Pass & Seymour 2675-2675 is the nearest peer: a 267 Series 20A rubber dust-tight locking plug in yellow, matching the Leviton 26W48's 20A rating, yellow housing, and sealed-against-debris intent. The Leviton 26W48 is a NEMA L6-20P configuration rated 20A 250V in Industrial Grade with Wetguard and Dustguard protection, so confirm the P&S body is the L6-20P configuration before substituting on a 250V circuit.
5) I need a 250V locking plug but my equipment draws 30A. What should I use instead of the 26W48?
Step up to the Eaton L530P, a nylon L6-30 two-pole three-wire locking plug. The Leviton 26W48 is an L6-20P rated 20A 250V, so it will not mate with an L6-30 receptacle and is not rated for a 30A load. The Eaton L6-30 plug is listed as Commercial grade, while the 26W48 is Industrial Grade, so weigh that against how often the connector is cycled.
6) My drawing calls for 480V three-wire. Can I use the Leviton 26W48?
No - the Leviton 26W48 is rated 250V, 1-Phase and terminates to NEMA L6-20P. For a 480V three-wire locking connection, the Pass & Seymour L720P Turnlok is the NEMA L8 configuration plug rated 480V. The L8 blade pattern is distinct from L6, so the receptacle must match the plug you choose.
7) What does Industrial Grade mean on a Leviton 26W48 compared to a commercial grade locking plug?
Industrial Grade is the build level, meant for cordsets that get plugged and unplugged constantly and take abuse. If you are repairing a light-duty cord that sees occasional use, a commercial grade device like the Eaton L6-30 locking plug sits a step below in grade, though that one is a 30A L6-30 configuration and will not mate with an L6-20R. For a heavier build, the Eaton 7765 armored locking plug is rated Extra Heavy Duty.
8) What else do I need to buy to finish a 240V extension cord with this plug?
The 26W48 terminates one end of the cord only. To complete an extension cordset you also need an L6-20 connector body (the female cord end) or an L6-20R receptacle at the fixed end, plus cord rated for at least 20A at 250V with two hot conductors and a ground. Keep the mating half Wetguard-style if the cord lives outdoors, since a sealed plug on an unsealed connector gives you no protection at the joint.
9) What is a heavier-duty locking plug than the Leviton 26W48 for abusive service?
For connectors that take mechanical abuse, the Eaton 7765 industrial armored locking plug is listed as Extra Heavy Duty and rated 50A 600V/250Vdc with back-wiring terminations - a much larger device on a different circuit than the 20A 250V L6-20P Leviton 26W48. If you need to stay at 20A, the Eaton 7411-C Safety Grip locking plug is rated 20A at 120/208V in Heavy-Duty Specification Grade, though its voltage class differs from the 26W48's 250V single-phase rating.
10) Why is this Leviton locking plug yellow, and does the color change anything electrically?
Color is purely for identification. The yellow housing makes a 250V twist-lock easy to pick out of a bundle of cordsets on a jobsite or a temp power spider, which cuts the chance of a crew plugging a 120V tool into a 240V drop. Electrically it is identical to the same device in any other housing color. Pass & Seymour's 267 Series 20A rubber dust-tight locking plug is also offered in yellow if you are color-coding a fleet of cords across brands.
11) How do I order the Leviton Wetguard L6-20 plug and make sure I get the right one?
Order by Leviton part number 26W48. It is a single configuration with no finish or amperage options to pick, so the part number fully specifies it: yellow Wetguard/Dustguard, Industrial Grade, NEMA L6-20P, 20A 250V 1-phase, 2-pole 3-wire.
