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.

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.

Lift the plates up and slide them away from the switch actuator stud (Item #11).
4. Remove the clear plastic shield (Item #16) by loosening (but not removing) its holding screws.
5. Connect wires to the proper terminals of the switch by loosening (but not removing) the line side pressure screws (Item #8). Insert
conductors, including all strand switch terminals, according to your established wiring scheme.
6. Connect the ground wire with the line ground lug (Item #17).
7. Tighten the screws with 40 in.- lb. torque.
8. Replace the clear plastic shield and plates by reversing Steps 3 and 4.
Electrical Testing
All wiring must be checked and tested to ensure that all circuits are according to plan and that there are no unwanted opens, shorts or
grounds.
Do not apply power until the following steps are completed:
1. Test to verify correct phasing and ground connections.
2. Test insulation resistance by meggering, high voltage, or hi-pot test to ensure that the system does not have any short circuits or
unwanted grounds.
Clean the Receptacle Cover & Enclosure
Before replacing or closing the receptacle cover, it is strongly recommended that all dirt, debris, and other foreign materials be
removed from the enclosure interior. This action should be taken to help keep the breathers and drains from being plugged by these
materials.
1. Make sure the enclosure top face is clean. Wipe it with a clean, dry cloth to remove any foreign materials.
2. Clean the mating surface of the receptacle cover in the same manner, while being careful not to damage the O-ring.
Close the Receptacle Cover
1. Apply a thin lm of conductive grease (Appleton part number TLC-3 is recommended) on the threads of the housing. The purpose of
this grease is to further ensure against water migration through the receptacle cover and housing joint. Grease should be reapplied
each time the receptacle cover is opened.
2. Place/afx the cleaned receptacle cover in the enclosure by turning it clockwise. Ensure that more than seven threads are engaged
and that the cover sits face-to-face with the enclosure.
3. Referring to Figure 2, align the cover locking screw (Item #3) with one of the nearest holes on the cover ange.
4. Turn the cover locking screw counterclockwise (outward) all the way. This will lock the cover in place and will release the receptacle
interior so that the switch can be operated.

Operation
Plugs
The FSQC receptacle is designed to accept the clamping rings of ACP plugs (see Table 3). Clamping rings t onto the receptacle to
form a watertight Type 4X assembly with plug-in use.
When the plug is withdrawn from the receptacle that has the ip cover option installed, the gasketed cover automatically closes tightly
against the receptacle opening, providing weatherproof Type 3R protection. When the plug is withdrawn from the receptacle that has
the screw cover option installed, the gasketed cover screws tightly against the receptacle opening, providing weathertight Type 4X
protection.
