Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Adapter (SKU: 1744) converts a NEMA L5-20 locking receptacle (20A/125V) to a NEMA 5-15 straight-blade plug (15A/125V), enabling compatibility between different power configurations. This adapter is engineered for industrial environments where equipment with a NEMA 5-15 plug must connect to a NEMA L5-20 locking outlet, or vice versa. The locking mechanism of the L5-20 receptacle ensures a secure connection, preventing accidental disconnections in high-vibration or mobile applications. Constructed with durable materials, the adapter withstands exposure to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability. It features a floating blade construction for self-alignment, minimizing wear and heat generation during operation. The NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber body delivers superior performance in abrasion, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 75°C). Ideal for construction sites, workshops, manufacturing facilities, and event venues, this adapter supports temporary power setups, portable tools, and machinery. It requires no specialized tools for installation, reducing downtime. The adapter meets UL and CSA certifications (UL File No. E10176, CSA File No. LR6837) and is manufactured in the USA by Woodhead, a trusted name in industrial electrical components.
