....all the newer Hubbell hospital-grade outlets are nickel-plated for corrosion prevention. This is the spec for hospitals now. They don't sound as good as the older all brass models.
Don't confuse the Hubbell-Pro and HBL lines. Hubbell part numbers are confusing. The cheap ones are in the link previously provided, but there is also an HBL 5262 that is extra heavy duty for a lot more money. Those are the ones you want. The cheap ones are just that - cheap.

Notice the brass ears on the HBL vs. the nickel-plating ears on the cheaper outlet. Big difference in sound between the two.

The two duplex receptacles are no where in the same league.
The back strap on the cheap pro line is made from galvanized steel.
Look at the cheap plastic face plate and the cheap 6/32 tapped steel plate for the duplex cover plate 6/32 screw support.
Then look at the other Hubbell duplex receptacle. Note the brass center tapped 6/32 hub for supporting the duplex cover plate. Back in the old days when using a steel raised duplex cover plate the center 6/32 hub was the only support that was used to hold the duplex in place.
GRAYBAR has the good ones for sale for $35.00!!!
NOT such a good price ...
