Leviton cr20-w Duplex Receptacle Nema 5-20R 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON cr20-w is a heavy-duty commercial specification-grade duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts AC, configured to NEMA 5-20R standards. It features an indented face design with a narrow body, a thermoplastic body and face in white, and a zinc-plated steel mounting strap. The self-grounding construction simplifies installation by establishing the ground connection through the device strap rather than a separate pigtail. Tamper-resistant shutters provide an additional layer of safety, meeting requirements for commercial and institutional environments. Licensed electricians install this device in standard residential and commercial branch circuit applications.

The cr20-w is suited for commercial, institutional, and heavy-duty residential wiring projects where a 20-amp straight-blade duplex outlet is required. Its narrow body profile fits standard single-gang boxes, and side-wiring terminals accept 14 to 10 AWG conductors, making it compatible with typical 20-amp branch circuits. The 1 HP power rating makes it appropriate for motor-load circuits in light commercial settings such as offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces where code-compliant tamper-resistant receptacles are required.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any wiring connections. Side-wiring terminals should be torqued per the terminal manufacturer markings on the device; do not back-stab wire this device. Confirm tamper-resistant operation is functional before closing the wall plate.
