Long Island City, New York, July 30, 2003 – A new brochure
from Cooper Wiring Devices describes a wide range of newly
redesigned advanced straight blade Industrial Specification
Grade and Hospital Grade receptacles. Manufactured to
ensure maximum reliability, performance and safety, the
receptacles feature fiberglass-reinforced nylon construction
that provides superior structural strength and heat resistance.
Cooper's exclusive Screw Terminal Guards insulate terminals
from contact with metal box sides and help ensure against
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 back wiring 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 mounting wallplates to the receptacle.
These many innovations combine to produce a device line
made to withstand the heaviest abuse. The brochure provides
ordering information for 68 different 15 and 20 amp receptacles.
The product line meets all applicable UL498 and Federal
Spec WC-596 requirements and is CSA Certified to C22.2
No. 42 standards. The industrial spec grade line is available
in eleven colors while the hospital grade line comes in
seven colors.

Grade and Hospital Grade Receptacles is available by calling
