Leviton R56-T5015-0TS Tamper-resistant Single Receptacle 10-pack

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R56-T5015-0TS is a commercial-grade, tamper-resistant single grounding receptacle constructed from nylon. A built-in shutter mechanism blocks access to the contacts unless a standard 2-prong plug is inserted simultaneously, preventing foreign objects such as hairpins and keys from making contact. The narrow body allows for straightforward installation in standard single-gang boxes. Back and side wiring options are supported, and the large-head terminal screw accepts up to No. 10 copper wire. Triple wire power contacts deliver maximum conductivity and reliable plug retention. This receptacle ships in a package of 10 units, making it suited for commercial installation projects.

This receptacle is designed for commercial environments where tamper resistance is required by code, including healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and office buildings. Captive mounting screws speed up installation, and washer-type break-off plaster ears allow flush alignment with wall surfaces. Break-off tabs enable easy conversion to 2-circuit wiring when the application calls for it. A heavy-gauge rust-resistant steel mounting strap provides long-term mechanical stability. Licensed electricians typically specify this receptacle when NEC tamper-resistance requirements apply to accessible outlet locations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off circuit power at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a voltage tester before wiring. Back and side wiring options provide flexibility in box fill and wire routing. Do not exceed the No. 10 copper wire maximum at the terminal screw.
