Leviton 515CV – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What plug will mate with the Leviton 5669-C connector?
It's a NEMA 6-15R connector body, so it mates with a NEMA 6-15P straight blade plug, 15A at 250V, two poles and a ground. A 5-15P (125V) plug will not go in: the 6-15 blades are oriented differently so you can't cross-connect a 120V cord to a 240V circuit.
2) Can I use this Leviton connector on a 120V circuit?
No. The 5669-C is rated 250V, 1-phase, 15A in a NEMA 6-15 pattern, which is a two-hot 240V configuration with an equipment ground and no neutral. For a standard 120V cord end you need a 5-15 device instead.
3) What is the difference between the commercial and industrial grade versions of this Leviton 6-15R connector?
Two grades are offered: commercial grade, Leviton 515CV, and industrial grade, Leviton 5669-C. Same 15A, 2-pole, 3-wire straight blade function. The industrial grade 5669-C is built for frequent connect and disconnect cycles on commercial and industrial sites, so that's the one to specify for cord sets and portable equipment that get plugged and unplugged daily.
4) What should I use instead of the Leviton 515CV connector for a wet or washdown location?
The Leviton 515CV and 5669-C are straight blade connector bodies for general commercial and industrial use, including extension cord assemblies and portable tool connections, but they are not watertight devices. For a wet location, the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W series is a 20A watertight connector rated NEMA 4X/6P, and the Bryant WPC series is a weatherproof wiring connector fitting. Note the Turnlok is a locking-style device at 20A rather than a 15A straight blade, so the mating plug on the cord has to change with it.
5) Can a Bryant 8269T be used in place of the Leviton 5669-C connector?
No. The Leviton 5669-C is a NEMA 6-15R straight blade connector rated 15A at 250V, 2-pole 3-wire, so it mates only with 6-15P plugs on a 250V circuit. The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, which is the 125V configuration - its blade slots will not accept a 6-15P plug. Choose the 8269T when the cord set is 125V and the application calls for hospital grade; choose the Leviton when the circuit is 250V.
6) Do I need a hospital grade connector instead of this one?
If the receptacle or cord set serves patient care space, yes, and the Leviton 5669-C is not hospital grade. The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, though note that's a 125V 5-15 pattern, not the 250V 6-15 pattern the Leviton uses. For general commercial, industrial, and MRO work the industrial grade Leviton is the normal specification.
7) Can I put this Leviton connector on the end of a 20 amp cord?
The connector is rated 15A, so it caps the assembly at 15 amps regardless of the cord. If the load or the circuit needs 20 amps at 250V, use a 6-20 device instead. A 20A option in the comparable range is the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series watertight connector.
8) Will a straight blade connector stay plugged in on portable equipment, or do I need a twist-lock?
Straight blade pulls straight out, which is fine for extension cord assemblies, tool connections and machinery drops where the cord isn't under tension. If the cord gets dragged, vibrated, or hangs from above and you can't have it dropping out, go to a locking device such as the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series.
9) How many conductors do I land in this Leviton connector?
Three: two ungrounded (hot) conductors and an equipment ground. It's a 2-pole, 3-wire polarized device, so there is no neutral terminal. Wire it off a 240V two-pole branch circuit with ground.
10) Is a hospital grade connector required where the Leviton industrial grade 5669-C is being used?
Not unless the facility spec calls for it. The Leviton 5669-C is an industrial grade device built for frequent connect and disconnect cycles on commercial and industrial job sites, and the 515CV covers the same 15A straight blade configuration in commercial grade. Hospital grade is a separate listing requirement met by devices such as the Bryant 8269T; if a drawing or patient-care area requires hospital grade, the Leviton industrial and commercial grade connectors do not substitute for it.
11) I need a 20A connector rather than 15A - what are my options?
The Leviton 515CV and 5669-C are both rated 15A. For a 20A device, the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W series is a 20A watertight connector, though it is a locking configuration rated NEMA 4X/6P rather than a straight blade, so it will not accept a straight blade plug. Confirm the plug end and the circuit rating before switching, since the amperage and the blade pattern both change.
12) Is the Bryant WPC weatherproof fitting an alternative to the Leviton straight blade connector?
They do different jobs. The Leviton 515CV and 5669-C are cord-mounted connector bodies that terminate a 2-pole 3-wire cord and mate with a matching plug. The Bryant WPC series is a weatherproof wiring connector fitting, used where the connection point itself needs weatherproofing. If you are building a 250V, 15A extension or tool cord for interior commercial use, the Leviton connector is the matching device.
