Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series 20A Watertight Connector, NEMA 4X/6P, Yellow

The Pass & Seymour Turnlok watertight connector (27W Series) is a rugged 20A device engineered for demanding environments where moisture, chemicals, and physical abuse are a daily concern. This connector is available in two NEMA configurations — NEMA L16-20, 3Φ 480V and NEMA L5-20, 125V, 2 Pole/3 Wire — so contractors can match the connector to the voltage and phase of the application. Rated watertight for 1,500 psi high-pressure hosedown, this yellow connector delivers multi-point sealing protection rated NEMA 4, 4X, 6, 6P & IP67, making it a dependable choice for industrial and outdoor power connections. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPV) construction and nickel-plated contacts combine rugged durability with long-lasting electrical performance and ease of installation.

Pass & Seymour 27W47 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which NEMA configurations does the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W watertight connector come in?
Two: NEMA L5-20 (125V, 2 pole/3 wire), MPN 27W47, and NEMA L16-20 (3-phase 480V), MPN 27W76. Both are 20A twist-lock connectors. The L5-20 is the single-phase 125V choice for cord sets and portable power; the L16-20 is for 480V three-phase equipment. The configurations are not interchangeable, so match the connector to the plug or inlet already on the equipment.
2) Can this twist-lock connector be hosed down in a washdown area?
Yes. The Turnlok 27W connector is rated for 1,500 psi high-pressure hosedown and uses a multi-point sealing system rated NEMA 4, 4X, 6, 6P and IP67. That covers food processing washdown, marine, and chemical areas as well as outdoor wet locations. The seal only performs when mated and fully assembled with the correct sealing bushing for your cord diameter.
3) Can I use the 27W47 connector on a 240V circuit?
No. The 27W47 is NEMA L5-20, rated 125V, 2 pole/3 wire, so it is single-phase 120V service only. For higher voltage in this series, the 27W76 is NEMA L16-20 at 3-phase 480V. There is no 240V configuration between them, so pick the connector that matches the circuit exactly.
4) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W connector and the Leviton 15W33 industrial grade connector?
The Turnlok 27W is a 20A locking connector in NEMA L5-20 125V 2-pole/3-wire and NEMA L16-20 three-phase 480V configurations, with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPV) body and a multi-point seal rated NEMA 4X/6P and IP67 for washdown and outdoor use. The Leviton 15W33 is an industrial grade straight blade connector, 3-wire 2-pole, 125V 20A. Both land at 20A on 125V, but the 27W uses a twist-locking configuration that will not accept a straight blade cord cap, and the straight blade Leviton is the one to use where the mating plug is a standard 5-20P.
5) I need a 20A 125V connector for a patient care area - can I use the Turnlok 27W?
The Turnlok 27W47 is a 20A NEMA L5-20 125V twist-locking connector built around a TPV body and NEMA 4X/6P/IP67 sealing, which targets washdown, outdoor and industrial duty rather than patient care rooms. For a hospital grade device at that rating, the Leviton 8319-C is a hospital grade NEMA 5-20R connector in black, supplied 100 to a pack. Note the 8319-C is straight blade 5-20R, so it mates with a 5-20P cord cap and not with a L5-20 locking plug.
6) Which connector should I standardize on for a 480V three-phase piece of equipment?
Of the 20A class connectors, the Turnlok 27W76 is the one that carries a three-phase 480V pattern, NEMA L16-20. The Leviton 15W33 industrial grade connector and the Eaton Arrow Hart severe duty connector are both 125V devices, and the Bryant 8269T and Leviton 8319-C are hospital grade 125V receptacle-pattern connectors, so none of those will serve a 480V three-phase feed.
7) Will the 27W connector seal properly on my cord diameter?
The 27W ships with color-coded sealing bushings covering a large range of cord diameters, so one connector handles several cable sizes. Pick the bushing that matches your SO/SOOW cord OD, seat it in the cord grip, and the watertight rating holds. Using the wrong bushing is the usual reason a watertight connector leaks.
8) Is a TPV body better than nylon for a connector in a chemical plant?
The 27W body is thermoplastic elastomer (TPV), which takes impact, oils, chemicals, heat and weather without cracking the way a rigid housing can when dropped on a plant floor. Contacts and blades are nickel plated for corrosion resistance, which matters more than the housing in salt air or washdown. Large ribs on the body give grip when mating with wet or gloved hands.
9) Is the 27W connector hospital grade?
No. The Turnlok 27W is a watertight industrial twist-lock connector rated NEMA 4X/6P and IP67, which is a different qualification from hospital grade. For patient care areas needing the green dot, look at a hospital grade device such as the Leviton 8319-C NEMA 5-20R or the Bryant 8269T NEMA 5-15R.
10) Does a hospital grade connector like the Bryant 8269T replace the Turnlok 27W on a washdown line?
No. The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, a 15A straight blade pattern intended for health care branch circuits. The Turnlok 27W is a 20A locking connector with a TPV housing, nickel-plated blades and contacts, and multi-point sealing rated NEMA 4, 4X, 6, 6P and IP67 for 1,500 psi hosedown. Neither the amperage pattern nor the sealing of the 8269T matches, so it is not a drop-in for a washdown or chemical-exposure connection.
11) Is the Pass & Seymour 27W connector made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the Turnlok 27W connector is the United States. That matters on government, federal, and Buy American funded projects where domestic origin has to be documented in the submittal.
12) Why is the Turnlok connector yellow?
The high-visibility yellow housing makes the connection easy to spot on a job site or plant floor, which helps when temporary power cords are run across traffic areas. Color is fixed on the 27W series; both the L5-20 and L16-20 configurations come yellow.
