Eventually the plastic melts and will have to be cleaned off the charger plug with a razor blade. It takes about 9-12 months to melt. Pay attention to it. If you smell burning plastic, give it a closer sniff test. I'm on my 3rd one; going to try another brand because I'm afraid this might cause a fire. You might be ok with this outlet if you charge your ev at 24 amp or lower. Our Chevy Bolt charges at 32 amp and burns it's outlet as well. **Q: Will this work for a 50 amp rv service?** A: Think so.... Bought it to charge a EV at 40 amp and works perfectly **Q: The 14-50R looks like a 15A receptacle with an additional vertical slot on top, so can 15A appliance be plugged into this outlet?** A: No. This is a 240V 50 A outlet. Any 15A appliance in the US is a 120V appliance. 240V would burn out the 120V appliance. To prevent this from happening, the 15A plug wouldn’t fit into this outlet. **Q: Do you know if we can install this in Japan 50Hz?** A: This receptacle is not rated for the Japanese electrical system ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easy to install, my stove been working great! *by A***N on 2 November 2026* easy to install, my stove been working great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality *by B***M on 11 November 2025* High quality plug ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buen producto, recomendado al 100% *by D***Z on 22 July 2026* Buen producto, recomendado al 100% ## Frequently Bought Together - Leviton 279-S00 50 Amp, 125/250V, Nema 14-50R, 3P, 4W, Flush Mounting Receptacle, Straight Blade, Industrial Grade, Grounding, Side Wired, Steel Strap, Black - Leviton 2-Gang Flush Mount 2.15 Inch Dia.
