Leviton Telcom 16252-1PI Decora Split Receptacle 1 Plug Control

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 16252-1PI is an ivory Decora-style split receptacle with single-plug control, designed for low-voltage and wiring accessory applications in residential and light commercial installations. Split-receptacle wiring allows one outlet to be switched while the other remains always-hot, giving installers precise control over connected devices without adding a dedicated switch circuit. This unit ships as a single piece and falls within the hardware accessories category, making it a standard stock item for electricians and low-voltage technicians managing outlet-level device control.

This receptacle is suited for residential bedrooms, living areas, and light commercial spaces where switched outlet control is required. Typical applications include lamp control circuits where a wall switch operates one plug while the other serves a continuously powered device such as a phone charger or small appliance. The ivory finish and Decora form factor integrate with standard decorator wallplates and devices already common in residential wiring projects.

Key Features

• Split-wired design allows one plug to be switched independently from the other
• Decora-style form factor fits standard decorator wallplates
• Ivory finish for compatibility with common residential color schemes
• Single-unit packaging for individual outlet replacements or new installations
• Hardware accessory classification suitable for trade and contractor procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install split receptacle compatible with standard Decora decorator wallplates and single-gang electrical boxes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always shut off the circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Split-receptacle wiring requires breaking the tab between the brass terminal screws to isolate the switched outlet from the always-hot outlet. Confirm local code requirements for switched outlet circuits before proceeding.
