Bryant Electric 8450FR 50 Amp 250V NEMA 15-50R Flush Straight Blade Receptacle, Black

Seems to be working good so far for my outdoor charger

My cheap Leviton 6-50 outlet was getting too hot and discoloring after a few years of 32 amp charging sessions with my ChargePoint Home 25 EVSE. I measured it at 115 degrees F on the face and plug blade--Luckily I caught it before it melted completely like I've read about happening to other people. Once replaced by this Bryant outlet, it doesn't even warm up a tiny bit.

Great Value for Industrial Nema 14-50 outlet. My prior Home Depot Leviton Nema 14-50 was running hot and my charging speed was cut in half because of the overheat sensors on mobile connector. This outlet fixed the problem.It is essentially the same outlet at the Hubbell Nema 14-50 for half the cost. Hubbell owns Bryant, and the two outlets are essentially identical.

Works well.

A much safer product than theA much safer product than the $10 variety as evidenced by arching and melting after 3 years.

Obviously a good, heavy duty outlet suitable for heavy duty uses like welding or electric car charging. I wired it with 8 gauge.But...what about the cover plate? The diameter of this outlet is bigger than standard and I looked all over Amazon and elsewhere for the proper size. Couldn't find one. I ended up modifying a standard sized cover.It would have been nice if Bryant, or Amazon, highlighted a proper cover. Oh, well, all done now and ready for use.In case anyone is wondering about EV charging, this can be used for most any EV, even powerhouse Teslas. For normal overnight home charging it is sufficient to use a 40 amp breaker and a 32 amp charge rate. You can use 8 ga wire for this and need 3/4 conduit for four 8 ga wires. Some people like to go bigger on the charge rate and therefore on the wiring and all, but note that most people are not charging up from empty very often and so a more modest circuit is more than enough.

wired my shop for my new welder. plug fits and works

It works.Couldn't be happier.
