Leviton R55-T5320-00E Tamper Resistant Outlet 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R55-T5320-00E is a 15-amp, 125-volt tamper resistant grounding outlet designed for residential and light commercial electrical installations. Built with an internal shutter mechanism, it blocks foreign objects from being inserted into the slots unless a standard plug applies simultaneous pressure to both slots. This safety feature meets NEC requirements for tamper resistant receptacles in dwelling units. Licensed electricians install this outlet as a direct replacement or new construction fitting in standard single-gang boxes. The black finish suits applications where color coordination with dark wall plates is required. Sold in a package of 20 units, it suits multi-unit or whole-home projects.

This outlet is suited for residential bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and any location where the NEC mandates tamper resistant protection. It is also appropriate for light commercial spaces such as offices, waiting rooms, and classrooms that require code-compliant tamper resistant receptacles. The 15A, 125V rating fits standard branch circuits. The black color option supports consistent aesthetic matching in dark-finish electrical systems or custom installations where standard white or ivory outlets are not preferred.

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify zero voltage with a meter before wiring the outlet. Confirm the existing box and circuit wiring are rated for 15 amps at 125 volts before replacing an existing receptacle. Do not exceed the outlet's rated amperage or voltage.
