Leviton Mfg Co R62-T5625-0WS Tamper-resistant Switch Outlet

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R62-T5625-0WS is a commercial-grade, single-pole switch and tamper-resistant grounding receptacle combination device built to Decora specifications. Rated at 15 amps and conforming to NEMA 5-15R, it features an internal shutter mechanism that blocks contact access unless a 2-prong plug is simultaneously inserted into both slots, preventing foreign objects such as hairpins and keys from making contact. The nylon body accepts back and side wiring with large-head terminal screws rated for up to No. 10 copper wire. Licensed electricians install this device in commercial and residential applications where tamper-resistant protection is required by code.

This combination device suits commercial interiors, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and any occupancy where the NEC mandates tamper-resistant receptacles. The single-pole switch controls a circuit independently while the receptacle remains available for standard 15-amp plug loads. The narrow body profile fits standard single-gang boxes without crowding adjacent devices. Break-off tabs allow easy 2-circuit conversion when the switch and receptacle must be fed from separate branch circuits, adding flexibility for retrofit and new-construction wiring scenarios.

Key Features

• Tamper-resistant shutter mechanism blocks contact access without a 2-prong plug simultaneously inserted in both slots
• Single-pole switch and NEMA 5-15R grounding receptacle combined in one Decora-profile device
• Triple wire power contacts for maximum conductivity and plug retention
• Large-head terminal screws accept up to No. 10 copper wire with back and side wiring options
• Captive mounting screws and washer-type break-off plaster ears for fast, flush installation
• Break-off tabs for 2-circuit conversion and heavy-gauge rust-resistant steel mounting strap

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation device for standard single-gang wall boxes in commercial and residential wiring systems requiring a NEMA 5-15R tamper-resistant receptacle with integrated single-pole switch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance 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 wiring. Both back-wire and side-wire terminations are supported — do not exceed No. 10 copper conductor size on the terminal screws. Where a 2-circuit configuration is required, break off the connecting tab between switch and receptacle circuits before completing the installation.
