NEMA / CORD-END RECOGNITION
Recognize the cord end.
Keep the rating with it.
A plug, a cord connector and a wall outlet are different objects. These named examples help identify two cord-end roles without treating component labels as approval for a complete cord or installation.
01 / COMPONENT IDENTITY
Two cord ends. Not an installation plan.
Cord plug
515PV: the plug fitted to a cord.
OBLIQUE PHOTOGRAPH STUDY
Cord plug · View, source and omissions (private workspace)
The oblique study follows the named plug photograph. Two flat blades and a separate grounding contact are visible; mounting screws are not extra contacts. Color and body shape are not enough to identify an unknown part. The source’s Rubber/PVC wording conflict remains unresolved.
15 A / 125 VAC component; not the assembled cord.
Read the source evidence and scope
Leviton identifies 515PV as a grounded NEMA 5-15P cord plug, with two poles, three wires and a 15 A / 125 VAC component rating. C185B
Exact 515PV component. Its rating is not a rating for an assembled extension cord, connected equipment or an installation; no wiring or substitution approval.
The 515PV product page says its ratings and NEMA identification are permanently marked on the device. C185C
Manufacturer marking statement, not an inspection of an actual unit. Use the markings and exact model documentation rather than yellow color or body resemblance.
Cord connector
515CV: a cord connector, not a wall outlet.
OBLIQUE PHOTOGRAPH STUDY
Cord connector; not a fixed wall receptacle · View, source and omissions (private workspace)
This study shows the removable cord-connector body and its three contact openings. The 5-15R form can be discussed without presenting this object as a fixed duplex wall receptacle. Its component rating does not approve an extension cord or installation.
Named 5-15R cord component; fixed wall role not illustrated.
Read the source evidence and scope
Leviton identifies 515CV as a grounded NEMA 5-15R cord connector, with two poles, three wires and a 15 A / 125 VAC component rating. C186B
Exact cord-mounted connector role. This is not a fixed wall receptacle or a complete cord assembly. No installation or electrical work approval.
The 515CV product page says its ratings and NEMA identification are permanently marked on the device. C186C
A documented marking policy does not confirm the identity, condition, authenticity or installation of an unknown part. No terminal or polarity map is supplied.
Read the exact markings and equipment instructions. Never remove a grounding contact, rewire, force, probe or energize an unknown part from this reference.
02 / FIND THE NEXT DOCUMENT
Keep the part and the system separate.
Identify the object
Keep the safely visible part label and exact model together. Distinguish a cord-mounted body from a fixed wall device.
Resolve a replacement
Use the equipment maker’s specified complete accessory. A component’s label does not certify the cable, assembly or supply.
03 / COMMON QUESTIONS
What appearance cannot establish.
Is every 5-15R example a wall outlet?
No. The named 515CV is a cord connector. Keep the physical form, mounting role and exact product identification together; this photograph is not evidence for a fixed wall device.

Leviton identifies 515CV as a grounded NEMA 5-15R cord connector, with two poles, three wires and a 15 A / 125 VAC component rating. C186B
Exact cord-mounted connector role. This is not a fixed wall receptacle or a complete cord assembly. No installation or electrical work approval.
Do matching 15 A / 125 VAC labels approve a complete cord?
No. These labels describe the named components, not the cable, assembled cord, connected equipment or supply. Use the equipment maker’s specified complete accessory. Do not assemble, rewire, trial-fit or energize unknown parts from this reference.

Can I identify the part by its yellow body?
The source points to permanent ratings and NEMA identification. Keep a safely obtained label view and exact model documentation together. Color, a generic photo or three visible contacts do not establish condition or suitability.
