- Built-in 15A breaker
A resettable circuit breaker cuts power the moment current exceeds 15A, protecting your wall wiring. Reset with one press โ no fuse to replace.
- Fits a 20A plug into a 15A outlet
Converts a standard NEMA 5-15R household outlet to accept a NEMA 5-20P plug for treadmills, shop vacs, power tools, and commercial equipment.
- Won't block the outlet below
The compact body clears the bottom receptacle on a standard dual-outlet plate, so both outlets stay usable.

Generic adapters only solve the fit and let current flow unchecked. This one adds automatic overload protection on a 15A circuit.
- ETL Listed, US and Canada
Tested to UL Standard 498A and CSA Standard C22.2 No. 42, meeting both U.S. and Canadian safety requirements.
- No tools, no electrician

The Problem Every Homeowner Faces โ And the Only Adapter That Solves It Safely
Standard U.S. household outlets are NEMA 5-15R, rated at 15 amps โ matched to the 14AWG wiring inside your walls. But many appliances โ commercial air conditioners, treadmills, shop vacs, power tools, and commercial kitchen equipment โ come with NEMA 5-20P plugs that wonโt fit a standard outlet.
Generic 15A-to-20A adapters solve the physical fit problem. But they create a dangerous one: if your device draws more than 15 amps through a 15A circuit, the wiring inside your walls overheats โ a leading cause of residential electrical fires. Generic adapters have no protection against this. They simply let the current flow.
The CRST adapter is different.
Built-In 15A Circuit Breaker โ The Safety Feature No Other Adapter Offers
Our adapter includes a built-in 15A resettable circuit breaker that automatically cuts power the moment current exceeds 15 amps โ protecting your homeโs wiring before it can overheat. When the overload clears, reset with a single press. No fuse to replace, no electrician required.
This matters even when your device is rated at 20A: most 20A appliances donโt draw their full rated current during normal operation. This adapter lets you use them safely on a 15A circuit, with automatic protection if the load ever spikes beyond safe limits.
Compact Profile โ Wonโt Block the Outlet Below
Despite integrating a full circuit breaker, the CRST adapter maintains a compact form factor. When plugged into the top outlet of a standard dual-outlet wall plate, it does not obstruct the bottom outlet โ both remain usable simultaneously. A detail that generic bulky adapters consistently get wrong.
NEMA 5-15P โ 5-20R โ Plug-and-Play, No Wiring Required
Converts any standard NEMA 5-15R household outlet to accept NEMA 5-20P plugs instantly. No tools, no rewiring, no electrician. Designed for temporary use when a 20A outlet isnโt available โ the right solution for the right situation.
ETL Listed โ UL STD. 498A & CSA STD. C22.2#42
ETL Listed to UL Standard 498A (attachment plugs and receptacles) and CSA Standard C22.2 No. 42 โ meeting both U.S. and Canadian safety requirements. Built with high-temperature resistant, flame-retardant materials for long-term reliability under load.
