Our take on the Americord L6-30R Wall Outlet
The Americord L6-30R is a 30-amp, 250-volt locking receptacle for a NEMA 6-30 plug. It mounts on a wall and uses clamp-type terminals for a three-conductor cord. The 94V-0 flammability rating covers the plastic housing. It is a single-purpose part for heavy 240/250V loads, not a general household outlet.

Questions and answers
- What plug fits the Americord L6-30R?
- A NEMA 6-30 locking plug. Standard 6-20 or 5-15 plugs will not fit.
- Can I use it for a 120V tool?
- No. It is a 250V, two-pole receptacle with no neutral, so it cannot supply 120V.
- What wire and breaker does it need?
- A 30A double-pole breaker and wire sized for 30A, typically 10 AWG copper. Confirm local code before installing.
- Is it the same as an L6-30P?
- No. The L6-30P is the plug; the L6-30R is the receptacle it plugs into.
- Does it come with a wall plate?
- Check the listing. Many receptacles ship without a plate, and a 30A locking outlet usually needs a matching cover.
