About Hubbell Lighting 125V 50A 3-Pole 4-Wire Receptacle HBL9450A
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
89% liked its compatibility with various devices, but 11% found limitations
The cheap connector sold at Home Depot and other stores has very little surface area, causing the Tesla travel charger to derate to half within 2 years. This one is well worth the money.
I found the possible source of the problem to be the NEMA 14-50 outlet that overheated and melted.
87% appreciated its sleek design
Installing the outlet is easy and its heavier design adds to its positive aesthetics.
The outlet I have is commercial grade and thicker than the ones at Home Depot or Lowes.
The outlet is heavy duty and can handle 8 hours of continuous current. It may cost more, but it's worth it for peace of mind.
97% praised for its durability
The connector is made of solid brass with ample surface area, keeping the assembly cool enough to deliver the required 32A.
The plug is made of solid materials and is heavy duty. It is far superior to anything available at big box stores.
This outlet can handle 8 hours of continuous current and is much heavier duty.
92% found it easy to install
So far, the installation was easy and the design is heavier. It seems to be working well.
This plug is easy to install and suitable for EV charger installation.
I noticed that the electrician commented that the Hubbell receptacle is heavier and needed a deeper outlet box.
The Hubbell receptacle requires a deeper outlet box due to its weight, as per the electrician's comment.
I replaced the previous outlet with this upgraded Hubbell outlet and have faced no issues whatsoever.
97% appreciated the advanced safety features, although 3% found them inadequate
I bought this outlet because my Tesla detected high temperature at the plug and it reduced the charging rate from 32 amps to 16 amps.
The plug's heavy-duty craftsmanship minimizes the chance of fires and arcing if installed correctly.
I have seen many pictures online of homeowners whose cheap outlet designed for a dryer melted and almost started a fire.
