Eaton eaton-tr270w Tamper Resistant Duplex Receptacle 15A

Product Description

The EATON eaton-tr270w is a tamper resistant duplex receptacle rated for 15 amps at 125 volts, designed for residential and commercial electrical installations. The tamper resistant shutter mechanism meets NEC requirements for dwelling unit receptacle protection, blocking foreign object insertion without a plug present. The impact-resistant thermoplastic face and PVC body provide durable performance in standard wall outlet applications. It accommodates 14 to 10 AWG wire via side wiring screws or push-in terminals and is listed as a 5-15R configuration. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as a code-compliant replacement or new construction outlet in both residential and light commercial settings.

The eaton-tr270w is suited for residential and commercial flush-mount installations where tamper resistant outlets are required by code. NEC 406.12 mandates tamper resistant receptacles in dwelling units throughout habitable rooms, garages, and outdoor locations. The white finish and standard duplex form factor fit single-gang wallplates. It accepts both side-wired screw terminals and push-in connections, giving installers flexibility on the job.
