Leviton Industrial Grade Flush Mount Locking Receptacle, Impact- and Chemical-Resistant
The Leviton 2710 Series is an Industrial Grade flush mount locking receptacle engineered for demanding electrical environments where reliability cannot be compromised. Built with Leviton's V-O-Max® construction, this single receptacle is impact- and chemical-resistant, making it well suited for industrial plants, manufacturing floors, and heavy-duty power applications. Depending on configuration, this family is available in NEMA L6-20R (20A, 250V) and NEMA L14-30R (30A, 125/250V) locking patterns, finished in black for durable, professional appearance on the panel or wall.
Key Features
- Locking Configuration: NEMA L6-20R and L14-30R twist-lock patterns secure the mating plug and help prevent accidental disconnection under vibration or pull-out stress.
- Industrial Grade: Built to Industrial Grade specifications for higher durability and performance than residential or commercial-grade devices.
- Impact- and Chemical-Resistant: V-O-Max® construction resists impact damage and chemical exposure common in industrial and manufacturing settings.
- Flush Mount Design: Flush mount body installs cleanly into standard enclosures and panels for a low-profile finished appearance.
- Configurable Ratings: Offered in 20A/250V (NEMA L6-20R) and 30A/125-250V (NEMA L14-30R) options to match circuit requirements.
- Black Finish: Black housing for a durable, industrial-appropriate finish.

Leviton 2320 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What NEMA configurations does the Leviton 2710 Series industrial locking receptacle come in?
Two twist-lock patterns: NEMA L6-20R rated 20A at 250V (model 2320), and NEMA L14-30R rated 30A at 125/250V (model 2710). They are not interchangeable. L6-20R is a two-pole, three-wire 250V circuit with no neutral; L14-30R is a three-pole, four-wire circuit carrying both 120V and 240V legs plus neutral and ground. Match the receptacle to the plug on the equipment and to the circuit feeding it, because the blade patterns physically will not mate across configurations.
2) I need a 240V outlet for a welder or compressor - is the L6-20R or the L14-30R the right one?
Depends on whether the machine needs a neutral. A straight 240V load (most welders, many compressors, heaters) runs on the L6-20R at 20A, 250V, which has two hots and a ground only. If the equipment also draws 120V for controls, lights, or a fan, it needs the L14-30R at 30A, 125/250V, which carries the neutral to supply that 120V leg. Check the plug already molded on the machine's cord; the twist-lock pattern on that plug decides it, and the Leviton receptacle has to match it exactly.
3) Can I put a 30A locking receptacle on a 20A circuit?
No. The L14-30R version of this Leviton locking receptacle is a 30A device and belongs on a 30A branch circuit with conductors and an overcurrent device sized for 30A. Putting it on a 20A circuit invites someone to plug in a 30A load that the breaker and wire were never sized to carry. If the existing circuit is 20A, use the L6-20R version instead, and only if the load is 250V two-wire.
4) Why use a twist-lock receptacle instead of a standard straight-blade outlet on a plant floor?
Vibration and cord pull. A straight-blade plug relies on friction alone and works its way loose under machine vibration or a tug on the cord; a locking connection twists into place and mechanically holds the plug until it is deliberately turned out. On heavy machinery, portable power distribution, and anything where an unplanned disconnect stops a line or drops a load mid-cycle, that mechanical hold is the reason to spec locking. The Leviton 2710 Series is a locking-connection device for exactly that duty.
5) Is an Industrial Grade receptacle worth it over a spec-grade or commercial device?
For a manufacturing floor, yes. This Leviton locking receptacle is built to Industrial Grade, the top tier above residential and commercial, and it uses V-O-Max construction that resists impact damage and chemical exposure. That matters where a device gets hit by a pallet jack, sits in a washdown area, or lives near solvents and cutting fluid. In a quiet office or light commercial space, the extra hardening buys you less. In a plant, it is what keeps the device from cracking or degrading in service.
6) Will this Leviton locking receptacle mount in a panel or enclosure, or does it need a standard wall box?
Flush mount body, so it sets into an enclosure, panel face, or wall box for a low-profile finish rather than standing proud like a surface-mount or pin-and-sleeve style device. That is the version to spec for panel-mounted and enclosure-mounted power connections where a projecting device would be in the way or exposed to impact.
7) Which model number do I order for a Leviton L14-30R locking receptacle?
Model 2710 is the L14-30R, 30A, 125/250V version. Model 2320 is the L6-20R, 20A, 250V version. Both are Leviton Industrial Grade flush mount locking receptacles in black, and the model number is the only thing distinguishing them on a purchase order, so get it right before the line goes out.
8) Do I need a cover plate or box with the Leviton locking receptacle, or is it a complete assembly?
The 2710 Series is the receptacle device itself, a single flush mount locking outlet. The enclosure or panel it sets into, and any faceplate or weatherproof cover the location calls for, are separate line items. On a renovation where you are swapping a device into an existing box, that is usually all you need; on new work, order the box and cover alongside it.
