INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
"JBR" RECEPTACLE: 30AMP & 60AMP
The "JBR" receptacles is designed to accept the clamping rings of "ACP" plugs. Clamping rings
fi
t onto the
receptacles to form a weather-proof assembly with plug in use and also helps to prevent plug fall out when
receptacle is in "OFF" position. When the plug is withdrawn from the receptacles that have the
fl
ip cover option
installed, the gasketed cover automatically closes tightly against receptacle opening providing weather-proof
protection.
For the "JBR" receptacle that has the screw cover option installed, the gasketed cover closes tightly against recep-
tacle opening providing weather-tight protection.
INSTALLATION:
Owners are responsible for damages or injuries if these rules are not followed.
1. PREPARE MOUNTING POSITION:
A. The receptacle assembly must be mounted on (4) 3/8" steel, hex-head bolts per ANSI B18.2.1-1981,
securely fastened to wall, column, strut or other vertical structure, in one plane, capable of supporting the
receptacle, its associated conduit and wiring. Note that these bolts are not provided with the receptacle
assembly.
B. Referring to "Figure C" for dimensions of receptacle, prepare the structure for the mounting bolts by drilling,
tapping, securing nuts or another method of providing threaded anchors for the bolts.
C. Install the bolts leaving 3/8" to 1/2" under the heads.
• The bolts must be engaged at least
fi
ve (5) full threads.
2. MOUNTING THE RECEPTACLE:
A. Place the receptacle assembly on the previously prepared mounting bolts, with the receptacle face (1) at the
lower-most position (see "Figure A"). Make sure that the shank of each of the bolts is in the small part of the
key-hole slots. Tighten the bolts to 18 to 20 lbs-ft torque.
3. OPENING RECEPTACLE COVER:
A. Referring to "Figure A", loosen receptacle cover bolts (3), but do not attempt to remove them completely from
the cover (2) because they are designed to be captive.
B. The cover (2) is now free to swing on its factory installed hinges.
C. Although it is not necessary, the cover (2) can be removed from the housing (4) by loosening the terminal block
lug set screws (6) and removing wires (7) from terminal block lugs (5) and then carefully lifting the cover enough
to clear the hinge pins; approximately .90 inches.
D. It is recommended that if removed, the cover be placed outer surface down on a clean surface.
Protect the receptacle cover with a tarp or other covering to ensure that it remains clean and functional.
4. CONDUIT INSTALLATION:
A. Conduit entries (see "Figure C") of 1-1/2" size NPT are provided on both the top and bottom of the housing
(4). Note that two 1-1/2" to 1-1/4" reducer bushings are also provided which can be used to reduce the conduit
entry size down to 1-1/4", if desired.
• All conduit entries must have seals within 18 inches of the housing per National Electrical Code require-
ments.
B. Make sure all conduit entries are clean and free of debris before installing conduit and close-up plugs.
WARNING
• Before starting with the installation, make sure the receptacle assembly is suitable for the intended
location according to the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code.
• If the receptacle assembly is not suitable, serious damage and injuries may result.
