Leviton 279-S00 50 Amp, 125/250V, Nema 14-50R, 3P, 4W, Flush Mounting Receptacle, Straight Blade, Industrial Grade, Grounding, Side Wired, Steel Strap, Black

I needed a 50 amp outlet and this one worked perfectly. I really like how the wires go straight into the back of outlet and has very stout set screws for each. I didnt have to worry about stripping or breaking the screws off.

Arrived in a timely manner! Just as described! Worked well!

Good for the price

Good quality works Well

Easy to install and the price was great definitely will recommend

NEMA-14-50 sockets were originally aimed at high power 240V loads like driers ,stoves,kilns. These were usages where the devices only occasionally get unplugged maybe only a few hundred times ever. With the wide adoption for EV's the sockets can easily get many thousands of connect/disconnect operations in a few years. The design of the spring loading of contacts on these non industrial rated sockets can soon wear out causing arcing/ heating and are a potential fire hazard. If you use this for an EV don't unplug the EVSE leave it plugged in like a permanent fixture. Better yet buy an "industrial rated " 14-50 at about 8x the price. Check EV enthusiasts websites for recommended industrial grade alternatives. Even with the higher grade they may not last in very frequent unplugging. Many EVSE charge adapters (like Tesla's) monitor the connector pin temperature and shut off / throttle the charge if the pins get hot to reduce fire risk Enthusiast websites/youtube have pictures of Leviton and other basic brand melted 14-50 sockets from overuse.

In my case, I had to upgrade my 30 amp RV receptacle to 50 amp. Glad that I was able to re-use the same enclosure. The receptacle bores are the same diameter.

Needed a port for the wife's new Tesla - perfect fit. Put it in a 2 gang box and wired in use 6/3 romex on a 50amp double breaker. All good!!!
