Leviton R52-T5015-0WS 15A Tamper-resistant Single Outlet

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R52-T5015-0WS is a commercial-grade, tamper-resistant single grounding receptacle rated at 15 amps. Built from nylon with a heavy-gauge rust-resistant steel mounting strap, it features an internal shutter mechanism that blocks contact access unless a standard 2-prong plug is inserted simultaneously. This prevents insertion of foreign objects such as hairpins or keys. The narrow-body design accepts back and side wiring, and the large-head terminal screw accommodates up to No. 10 copper wire. Electricians install this receptacle in commercial and institutional settings where NEC tamper-resistance requirements apply.

This receptacle is suited for commercial, institutional, and high-traffic residential installations where tamper-resistant protection is required by code. The break-off tabs allow quick conversion to a 2-circuit configuration, making it adaptable to a range of wiring layouts. Captive mounting screws and washer-type break-off plaster ears streamline rough-in and trim-out, reducing installation time on multi-outlet jobs. The package includes 10 receptacles per unit of measure.

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 circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage before wiring. Use a voltage tester before and after making connections. Ensure the mounting strap is properly grounded to the outlet box per NEC requirements.
