The PowerHold™ receptacle device maximizes contractor productivity, reduces errors, and enhances profitability while delivering faster, more reliable results. With fast terminations, superior wiring retention and color-coded levers that ensure accurate connections, this standard receptacle makes the installation process quick, easy, and safe. Unlike traditional receptacles that require multiple tools and longer termination times, PowerHold allows for rapid terminations in 10 seconds or less.  Best suited for MDU, hospitality, prefab, and commercial applications.

The PowerHold receptacle introduces several innovative design elements that distinguish it from conventional wiring devices:
