EAG1252 - Eagle 1252 NEMA 6-50R Flush Mount Receptacle 50A 250V

Heavy-Duty Power Connection for Industrial Workshops

The Eagle 1252 Female Receptacle is a critical component for any industrial workshop, garage, or fabrication facility requiring reliable high-power connections. Designed to handle 50 Amps at 250 Volts, this heavy-duty receptacle is the industry standard for powering arc welders, plasma cutters, and large air compressors. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses associated with high-draw equipment, providing a safe and consistent power supply to your valuable machinery.

This receptacle features the widely used NEMA 6-50R configuration, which is a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding standard found on the power cords of most major welding machine brands, including Miller, Lincoln Electric, and Hobart. By installing the Eagle 1252, you ensure compatibility with a vast range of single-phase 230V equipment. The flush-mount design allows for a clean, professional installation into standard electrical boxes, keeping your workspace organized and free of protruding hazards. Whether you are setting up a new welding station or replacing a worn-out outlet, the Eagle 1252 offers the durability and performance required for professional applications.

Reliable and Safe Operation

Safety is paramount when dealing with high-voltage industrial power. The Eagle 1252 is engineered with high-quality materials to prevent arcing and overheating. The deep contacts ensure a secure grip on the mating plug (specifically the Eagle 42 Male Plug), reducing resistance and maintaining optimal power flow. This is essential for welding processes where voltage stability can directly impact arc quality. The grounding terminal provides a dedicated path to ground, protecting both the operator and the equipment from electrical faults.

Installation and Compatibility

Designed for ease of installation, this receptacle accepts heavy-gauge wiring typically required for 50A circuits (often #6 AWG or #8 AWG, depending on run length and code). It is compatible with standard deep electrical boxes, allowing sufficient room for wire management. For workshops running multiple machines, installing standardized NEMA 6-50R outlets like the Eagle 1252 allows for flexibility, letting you move equipment to where the work is needed without worrying about power compatibility.
