industrial grade brochure
Long Island City, New York, December 10, 2002 - Cooper
Wiring Devices has introduced a newly redesigned line
of Industrial Specification Grade and Hospital Grade devices
to its wide range of straight blade receptacles. Manufactured
to ensure maximum reliability, performance and safety,
the new receptacles feature fiberglass-reinforced nylon
base construction that provides superior structural strength
and heat resistance.
The new line features Cooper's exclusive screw terminal
guards to protect terminals from contact with conductive
surfaces (metal boxes or wires), thus reducing the risk
of short circuits throughout the operating life of the
receptacle. The terminal guards also eliminate the need
for time-consuming tape strapping. Another key benefit
is Cooper's exclusive five-leaf solid brass plug blade
contacts that provide low heat rise and long life. Eight
easy-access, tapered internal backwiring lead-in slots
accept wire up to #10 AWG, a major time saver compared
to external backwire clamping of stranded wire. In addition,
an exclusive ScrewCatch™ feature speeds final assembly
of wallplates to the receptacle.
These many innovations combine to produce a device line
made to withstand the heaviest abuse. A new brochure on
the line also provides a complete list of Cooper's 15
and 20 amp receptacles. The product line meets all applicable
UL498 and Federal Spec WC-596, as well as UL498 Hospital
Grade requirements (where applicable) and is CSA Certfied
to C22.2 No. 42 standards.
The Cooper Wiring Devices brochure on the new Industrial
Specification Grade and Hospital Grade Receptacles is
