Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Adapter, SKU 1783, is engineered for reliable power transitions in industrial settings. This adapter connects a NEMA 5-15 receptacle (female end, 15A/125V) to a NEMA L5-20 plug (male end, 20A/125V). It bridges common 15A outlets with higher-amperage twist-lock connections found on industrial machinery and heavy-duty tools. Constructed with industrial-grade materials, it withstands factory floors and workshops. The NEMA L5-20 twist-lock plug ensures a secure connection, preventing accidental disconnections and downtime. This adapter is ideal for adapting existing NEMA 5-15 power sources to equipment requiring an L5-20 connection, such as portable generators. Key features include versatile connectivity, robust construction, a secure twist-lock plug, and dual amperage support (15A female, 20A male) at 125V. It meets stringent industrial safety standards and offers a cost-effective solution for power connection challenges. Trust Woodhead's legacy of quality for efficient and safe operations.
