Leviton 8300-HW Hospital Grade Receptacle 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON 8300-HW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts. Hospital grade receptacles meet stricter construction and testing standards than standard commercial outlets, making them the required specification for patient care areas in medical facilities. This receptacle is designed for installation in hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, and any environment where a dependable, code-mandated outlet connection is required. Licensed electricians install this device as part of branch circuit wiring in healthcare construction and renovation projects.

The 8300-HW is suited for use in patient care areas, nursing stations, operating rooms, and other healthcare environments where the National Electrical Code mandates hospital grade rating. Its 20-amp, 125-volt rating accommodates medical equipment loads on standard single-phase branch circuits. The device is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations in medical facilities.
