Leviton 8280-B Decora Tvss Duplex Receptacle 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON 8280-B is a Decora-style transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) duplex receptacle rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. Built for both residential and light commercial applications, this outlet provides built-in surge protection at the point of use, helping to shield connected equipment from damaging voltage spikes on the AC line. Its Decora form factor integrates cleanly into standard wallplates used throughout residential wiring and commercial fit-outs. Licensed electricians are the primary trade installing this device as part of a branch circuit receptacle replacement or new construction rough-in.

The 8280-B is suited for installation in standard single-gang or multi-gang Decora wallplate configurations. It is appropriate for circuits requiring 15A, 125V surge-protective receptacles in living spaces, offices, home theater installations, and similar environments where sensitive electronics benefit from point-of-use surge protection. The duplex configuration provides two protected outlets from a single device, maximizing coverage at each location.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for receptacle replacement or new circuit installation. Always shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before removing the existing device or making any wire connections.
