Leviton TCR20 Tamper Resistant Receptacle 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TCR20 is a 20-amp, 125-volt tamper-resistant duplex receptacle designed for residential and light commercial electrical installations. Tamper-resistant receptacles feature internal shutters that block foreign object insertion while allowing standard plug blades to engage normally. This device meets NEC requirements for tamper-resistant outlets in dwelling units, making it a code-compliant choice for new construction and renovation work. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in standard single-gang wall boxes during rough-in or finish phases of electrical work.

The TCR20 is suited for 20-amp branch circuits in bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, and other living spaces where the NEC mandates tamper-resistant protection. Its 125-volt rating covers standard single-phase residential wiring. The device is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit applications where existing receptacles must be upgraded to meet current code requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation duplex receptacle for standard single-gang electrical boxes on 20-amp, 125-volt residential branch circuits.

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 the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Use appropriate wire gauge for a 20-amp circuit as specified by NEC. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated voltage or amperage of the device.
