Leviton 16362-hgr 20A Hospital Grade Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON 16362-hgr is a 20 amp, 125 volt hospital grade duplex receptacle designed for demanding commercial and institutional electrical installations. Rated NEMA 5-20R and built to a 2-pole, 3-wire configuration, this self-grounding outlet meets the extra heavy-duty requirements of hospital grade listings. The smooth Decora Plus face profile integrates cleanly into standard Decora wallplate systems. The red body color is the recognized industry indicator for critical branch circuits in healthcare facilities, making identification straightforward during inspections and service calls. Licensed electricians are the primary installers for this device.
