Leviton S02-T5820-0WS 20A Tamper Resistant Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO S02-T5820-0WS is a residential-grade, tamper-resistant thermoplastic duplex grounding receptacle rated at 20 amps. A built-in shutter mechanism blocks access to the contacts unless a 2-prong plug is inserted simultaneously, preventing foreign objects such as hairpins or keys from making contact with live terminals. The narrow-body design features side wiring, large-head terminal screws that accept up to No. 10 copper wire, and triple wire power contacts for maximum conductivity and plug retention. A heavy-gauge rust-resistant steel mounting strap is included. This unit ships in a pack of 10.

This receptacle is intended for residential wiring applications where tamper-resistant outlets are required by the National Electrical Code. Typical installations include bedrooms, hallways, living areas, and any location where NEC tamper-resistant requirements apply. The captive mounting screws speed up installation, and the washer-type break-off plaster ears allow flush alignment with various wall surface thicknesses. Break-off tabs enable easy 2-circuit conversion where needed. Licensed electricians are the primary installers in new construction and renovation work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes. Always shut off power at the circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a voltage tester before beginning work. Use the side-wire terminals with appropriately rated copper conductors. Do not exceed the No. 10 copper wire maximum at the terminal screws.
