Middle Atlantic Replacement Receptacle 20 - NM2027-20

Middle Atlantic NM2027-20 Replacement Receptacle Fitting

Overview

The NM2027-20 is a 20-amp replacement receptacle fitting designed for Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic NM2000-series Plugmold raceway installations. When a single outlet in a raceway run fails or needs to be swapped to a higher-amperage position, replacing only the NM2027-20 receptacle — rather than the entire raceway section — keeps downtime minimal and avoids rewiring a live rack or wall channel. The 20-amp rating supports higher-draw devices such as UPS units, power distribution modules, and heavier AV or security equipment that exceed the 15-amp limit of standard receptacles. TAA compliance makes this fitting suitable for government, federal, and NDAA-sensitive deployments where country-of-origin requirements apply to every component in the installation.

Compatibility

The NM2027-20 is a replacement fitting for the Middle Atlantic NM2000-series Plugmold raceway product family. It is specifically matched to the NM2000 replacement receptacle fitting form factor — verify your existing raceway model is within the NM2000 series before ordering, as Plugmold raceway fittings are not universally interchangeable across series. This fitting is not a universal outlet and will not retrofit into non-NM2000 raceway housings or standard wall-box applications.

Installation Notes

Replacement requires access to the raceway channel and disconnection of power before swapping the receptacle fitting. Confirm the branch circuit serving the raceway is rated for 20 amps and is wired with 12 AWG minimum conductor — a 20-amp receptacle on an undersized 15-amp circuit is a code violation. Match the receptacle amperage to the circuit breaker rating before commissioning.
