Leviton T5820-E Tamper-resistant Duplex Outlet 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON T5820-E is a 20-amp, 125-volt tamper-resistant duplex receptacle designed for residential and light commercial electrical installations. Tamper-resistant outlets feature spring-loaded shutters that block foreign objects from being inserted into the slots unless both slots are engaged simultaneously, meeting NEC code requirements for tamper resistance in dwelling units. Rated at 20A and 125V, this duplex outlet is suitable for circuits requiring a full 20-amp capacity. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as a code-compliant replacement or new-construction outlet.

The T5820-E is used in standard duplex outlet applications throughout residential homes, apartments, hotels, schools, and light commercial spaces where NEC tamper-resistant requirements apply. It fits single-gang electrical boxes and is appropriate for kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, hallway, and general-purpose branch circuits rated at 20 amps. Its compact form factor accommodates standard wall plate covers.
