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

Standard NEMA 6-50R Welder Outlet

Upgrade or repair your welding power infrastructure with the Eagle 1252 Female Receptacle. This 50 Amp, 250 Volt flush-mount receptacle is the definitive solution for connecting single-phase welding machines to your shop's power grid. Built to the NEMA 6-50R standard, it is the matching female counterpart to the common "crowfoot" style plugs (such as the Eagle 42) found on the power cords of MIG, TIG, and Stick welders. Ensuring you have a high-quality, tight-fitting receptacle is vital for preventing voltage drop and ensuring your welder delivers its full rated output.

Welders know that a loose or worn wall socket can lead to heat buildup, tripped breakers, and inconsistent arcs. The Eagle 1252 is manufactured to industrial tolerances to provide a firm, positive connection every time you plug in. Its heavy-duty thermoplastic housing resists impact and chemical exposure, making it suitable for tough shop environments. The flush-mount profile keeps the outlet protected within the wall or electrical box, minimizing the risk of physical damage from moving equipment or materials.

Technical Specifications and Use

The Eagle 1252 is rated for 250 Volts AC and 50 Amperes, making it suitable for the majority of shop-class and industrial single-phase welders. It utilizes a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding configuration. The "hot" wires connect to the two angled slots, while the U-shaped slot serves as the equipment ground. This configuration is distinct from dryer or range outlets, preventing accidental connection of incompatible appliances. It is designed to be used with copper or aluminum wire (verify specific unit markings and local codes) and features large terminal screws for secure wire termination.

Essential for Shop Setup

Whether you are wiring a home garage for a new hobby welder or outfitting a commercial fabrication bay, the Eagle 1252 is the correct hardware for the job. It pairs seamlessly with the Eagle 42 Male Plug, creating a safe and standardized power interface. Don't compromise on your power delivery system; use the Eagle 1252 to ensure your welding machines receive the clean, safe power they need to perform at their best.
