Applications
• Designed to supply power to portable or xed electrical equipment such as motor generator units, welders, pumps,
compressors, and similar apparatuses.
• Ideal for use on shipping docks, ports, and other “Ship-to-Shore” applications.
• Suitable for use in locations where a weatherproof enclosure is required.
• Interlocked receptacle design provides use in hazardous locations and rough environments.
Features
• Rugged and Type 4X watertight enclosure and cover, sealed with an O-ring.
• Grounding Style—Style 2 receptacle ground through shell and extra pole.
Receptacle is dead front without plug engaged.
• Arcing Conned—Interlock receptacle design means that all electrical switching
is done with an internal switch. The plug cannot be engaged or disengaged with
the receptacle when the switch is “ON”.
• Positive Contact—Brass contacts have integral springs for positive, maintained,
electrical contact.
• Receptacle face enables the engagement of plugs for a weatherproof union.
• Positive Ground—Grounding terminal for Style 2 receptacle “makes rst,
breaks last”.
• Receptacle is designed so that it can only turn “ON” when the proper mating
plug is fully engaged and the pad locking collar is rotated. See Table 6 for a list
of the mating plugs.
• Receptacles come with a ip cover and a screw cover for protection against
environmental conditions.
• Cover cannot be removed when the switch is “ON”.
• P4 Option—Special polarization prevents plug insertion into a receptacle wired
for a different voltage.
• Style 2 interlocked receptacles are equipped with contacts designed to provide a safety polarization means called “controlled
length” contacts. This feature will not allow the plug grounding contact (Style 2) to touch an energized receptacle “line” contact
in the event the plug becomes damaged and/or loses its primary polarization means and/or is rotated into the incorrect position.

Safety Instructions
!
WARNING—MODIFICATIONS
Do not modify these devices in anyway. Replace any missing or broken parts with proper Appleton replacement parts. Modication of
these devices or substitution of parts with non-standard parts may result in serious or fatal person injury from electrocution.
!
WARNING—PRODUCT DAMAGE
If any part of the receptacle appears to be missing, broken, or show signs of damage—discontinue use immediately! This condition
could cause serious or fatal personal injury due to electrocution and/or equipment damage. Repair with the proper replacement part(s)
before continuing service.
!
WARNING—ENVIRONMENTAL
To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres, do not use Class I, Group F locations that contain electrically conductive dusts.
!
WARNING—ELECTRICAL
Electrical power must be turned OFF before and during installation and maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious or fatal
injuries due to electrocution.
!
WARNING—WIRING
Use only copper cable or wire per the National Electric Code (NEC) for the given ampere rating of the receptacle.
!
WARNING—WIRING
A wiring scheme must be followed so that the same color wire is always put into the same numbered contact opening in all plugs,
connectors, and receptacles in the system. This will help to eliminate possibilities for equipment damage and/or personal injuries due
to electrocution.

Installation
!
WARNING
Electrical power must be turned OFF before and during installation and maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious or fatal
injuries due to electrocution.
!
CAUTION
Before starting the installation, ensure the receptacle assembly is suitable for the intended location according to the National Electrical
Code or Canadian Electrical Code. If the receptacle assembly is not suitable, serious damage and injuries may result. Owners are
responsible for damages or injuries if these rules are not followed.
Prepare the Mounting Position
1. The receptacle assembly must be mounted on four 13/32 inch or 3/8 inch steel, hex head bolts per ANSI B18.6.3 and securely
fastened to a wall, column, strut, or other vertical structure, in one plane, which is capable of supporting the receptacle and its
associated conduit and wiring.
NOTE: Bolts are not provided with the receptacle assembly.
2. Prepare the structure for mounting bolts by drilling, tapping, using securing nuts, or another method of providing thread anchors for
the bolts. See Figure 1 for the dimensions of the receptacle.
3. The bolts must be engaged at least ve full threads.
Mounting the Receptacle
!
WARNING
Before mounting the receptacle, ensure that the enclosed switch is in the “OFF” condition.
1. Place the receptacle assembly on the previously prepared mounting bolts, with the receptacle ip cover at the lower-most position.
Make sure that the bolt shanks are in the mounting holes. Tighten the bolts to 18 to 20 ft.- lb. torque.
Opening the Receptacle Cover
1. Referring to Figure 2, turn the cover locking screw (Item #3) clockwise (inwards) until it enters into the groove of the receptacle
housing body (Item #4). This makes the enclosure cover (Item #2) free for rotation and simultaneously locks the receptacle interior
rotation (also toggling of the switch).
2. Turn the enclosure cover counterclockwise (outward) to completely remove it from the enclosure.
3. After removal, we recommend that the enclosure cover be placed with the outer surface down, on a clean surface. Protect the
enclosure cover with a tarp or covering to ensure that it remains clean and functional.
Conduit Installation
!
CAUTION
Please note that all conduit entries must be used. Install sealing ttings within 18 inches of each conduit entry per the National Electrical
Code requirements.
1. Conduit entries of 2 inch NPT are provided on both the top and bottom of the enclosure (see Figure 1).
2. Make sure all conduit entries are clean and free of debris before installing the conduit and close-up plugs.
3. On all conduits, reducer bushings, and close-up plugs, grease must be used to completely seal out water.
NOTE: We recommend applying Appleton thread lubricant (part number TLC-3) on threads in three generous lines, running parallel
to the thread axis and spaced equidistant around the thread.
4. Conduits and close-up plugs must be turned in until snug and then 1/2 turn further with a wrench. Make sure any installed
breathers and drains are tightened in the same manner.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten, as damage to the housing threads or any reducer bushings may occur.
5. At this point, ensure that all threaded holes in the housing are closed (including openings for breathers and drains) to prevent entry
of rain, splashed water, and hose directed water, and also to comply with Class I and Class II hazardous location requirements.
