Cooper Wiring Devices 8269 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cooper 8269 connector fit my SJOOW cord, and what cord diameter does it clamp?
The Cooper 8269 Safety Grip connector clamps cords from 0.25 to 0.69 inch in outside diameter, which covers most 16/3 and 14/3 flexible cord. Check the OD of the jacket, not the conductor count: if the cord measures under 1/4 inch the grip will not hold it securely, and anything over 0.69 inch will not enter the body.
2) What wire gauge can I land in a Cooper 8269 cord connector?
Terminals accept #18 through #12 AWG, so 18/3, 16/3, 14/3 and 12/3 cord all land. The device is a two-pole, three-wire grounding connector, so you need three conductors including an equipment ground; two-conductor cord without a ground should not be used on it.
3) Is the Cooper 8269 the female end or the plug end of a cord?
It is the female end. A NEMA 5-15R connector is the receptacle half that goes on the end of a cord set and accepts a standard 5-15P plug. If you need the male end that goes into the wall outlet, you want a 5-15P plug instead, not this part.
4) Is this connector okay for a patient care area in a hospital?
No. The Cooper 8269 is a general-purpose cord connector and is not a hospital grade device. For patient care spaces where the green dot is required, use a hospital grade connector such as the Bryant 8269T in 5-15R, or the Leviton 8319-C if the opening calls for 5-20R.
5) I need a 20A cord connector instead of the 15A Cooper 8269 - what should I order?
For a 20A cord end, the Leviton 15W33 is an industrial grade straight blade connector, 3-wire 2-pole, rated 125V 20A. The Cooper 8269 is rated 15A at 125V in a NEMA 5-15R configuration, so it will not accept a 20A plug with the T-slot blade. If the circuit and cord set are built around 20A, step to the 20A device.
6) Will the Cooper 8269 connector work outdoors or in a wash-down area?
The Cooper 8269 is a clear polycarbonate general-purpose connector for residential and commercial cord connections; it is not described as a weatherproof or watertight device. For wet locations, the Bryant WPC series is a weatherproof wiring connector fitting, and the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W series is a 20A watertight connector rated NEMA 4X/6P. Choose by the enclosure rating your location calls for.
7) What is the hospital grade equivalent to the Cooper 8269 NEMA 5-15R connector?
The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, the same 5-15R configuration the Cooper 8269 uses at 15A 125V. Hospital grade is the designation to specify for patient care areas where the facility requires it; the Cooper 8269 is a general-purpose two-pole, three-wire grounding connector with a clear polycarbonate body and brass contacts.
8) Will this work as a replacement end on a damaged extension cord?
Yes, that is one of its main uses. Cut back the damaged female end, strip to the three conductors, land #18 to #12 AWG on the brass contacts, and clamp the jacket as long as the cord measures 0.25 to 0.69 inch across. The result is a 15A 125V grounding cord end.
9) Can I use a Leviton 8319-C in place of the Cooper 8269?
No - the Leviton 8319-C is a hospital grade NEMA 5-20R connector sold in a pack of 100, while the Cooper 8269 is a NEMA 5-15R device. The 5-20R opening accepts 20A plugs with the perpendicular blade; a 5-15 plug mates to the 5-15R Cooper. Match the configuration to the plug on the cord set.
10) Is the Leviton ML2-C midget connector a substitute for the Cooper 8269?
They are different devices. The Leviton ML2-C is a midget connector for electrical wiring supplied in a pack of 100, not a NEMA 5-15R straight blade cord connector. The Cooper 8269 is a two-pole, three-wire grounding 5-15R connector accepting #18 to #12 AWG and cords 0.25 to 0.69 inch in diameter. If you are rebuilding a standard 125V cord end, the 5-15R device is the one that mates with a common 5-15 plug.
11) For a facility standardizing on one cord connector, how do the grades compare?
The Cooper 8269 is a general-purpose 15A 125V 5-15R connector with brass contacts and a safety grip feature. If your spec calls out a grade, the Leviton 15W33 is industrial grade at 125V 20A, and the Bryant 8269T and Leviton 8319-C are hospital grade. Standardize on the grade your facility type requires, then match the NEMA configuration to the plugs already in service.
12) Why is the body clear instead of black or orange?
The housing is clear polycarbonate so you can see the terminations after assembly. For maintenance crews rebuilding cord ends, that means a quick visual check that each conductor is under its screw, the ground is landed, and no strands have escaped, without taking the shell back apart.
13) What is the exact part number to order the Cooper safety grip connector?
Cooper Wiring Devices model 8269. One model covers the whole offering, so there is no finish or configuration choice to make: clear polycarbonate body, 5-15R, 15A 125V.
