Leviton 16351-w 20A 125V Nema 5-20R Decorator Receptacle White

Product Description

The LEVITON 16351-w is a single Decorator-style straight-blade receptacle rated for 20 amps at 125 volts in a NEMA 5-20R configuration. Built from impact-resistant thermoplastic nylon, it is designed for commercial and heavy-duty applications where durability and code compliance matter. The 2-pole, 3-wire self-grounding design supports both back and side wiring, giving electricians flexibility during rough-in and finish work. Approvals include UL 498, CSA, and NOM 057. The brass contact material and zinc-plated steel strap contribute to long-term connection integrity under sustained load.

This receptacle is suited for commercial construction, light industrial settings, and heavy-duty residential installations where a 20-amp circuit is required. The Decorator form factor fits standard Decorator-style wallplates, making it a common choice for office buildouts, retail spaces, and anywhere a clean, modern outlet appearance is specified alongside a 20-amp circuit. Licensed electricians install this device during finish electrical work on 20-amp branch circuits per NEC requirements.
