Electrical Dryer Receptacle - Products
Electrical dryer receptacles supply the higher current an electric clothes dryer needs, rated above standard household outlets. Moonshine Bath stocks dryer receptacles in 3-prong and 4-prong, 30 amp configurations to match older and newer dryer cords and wiring.
Modern installs generally use the 4-prong type for safety, so match the outlet to your dryer cord and local code.

Frequently Asked Questions
What amp is a standard electric dryer receptacle?
Electric dryers typically use a 30 amp circuit and a matching 30 amp receptacle. Confirm your dryer's rating and the breaker, and follow local electrical code.
Why do some dryer outlets have 3 prongs and others 4?
4-prong outlets add a dedicated ground separate from the neutral and are the current safety standard. Older homes often have 3-prong outlets. New installations generally require the 4-prong configuration.
Can I use a 4-prong dryer on a 3-prong outlet?
You would need to change the dryer cord to match the outlet, done with the correct bonding. The safest long-term fix is updating to a grounded 4-prong outlet. Consult a licensed electrician if unsure.
