Leviton M5362 Duplex Receptacle 20A Nema 5-20R Industrial

Product Description

The LEVITON M5362 is an industrial-grade, straight blade duplex receptacle rated for 20 amps at 125 volts AC with a NEMA 5-20R configuration. Built for demanding environments, it features a self-grounding design that simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate grounding clip. The thermoplastic body is impact-resistant and tamper-resistant, making it well-suited for commercial and industrial applications where outlet integrity matters. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as a direct flush-mount outlet in standard single-gang or multi-gang wall boxes. Single-phase, 2-pole, 3-wire construction meets the requirements for 20-amp branch circuits.

The M5362 is appropriate for commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, workshops, and other locations requiring 20-amp, 125-volt duplex outlet capacity. Its back-wiring method works with standard branch circuit wiring on 20-amp circuits. The brown color finish suits installations where a neutral or subdued outlet appearance is preferred, such as warehouses, server rooms, utility spaces, or institutional settings. A licensed electrician typically installs this device during new construction, renovation, or direct receptacle replacement on an existing 20-amp circuit.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Back-wiring connections should be made securely and inspected before the device is seated in the box. Do not install on circuits exceeding 20 amps or 125 volts AC.
