Leviton Telcom 16362-BIG Decora Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 16362-BIG is a Decora-style duplex receptacle featuring an isolated ground configuration. Isolated ground receptacles are used where sensitive electronic equipment requires a clean, noise-free ground path separate from the equipment grounding conductor. This type of device is typically installed in commercial, industrial, and technical environments where power quality directly affects equipment performance. Electricians install this receptacle as part of a branch circuit serving computers, audio-visual systems, medical equipment, or other electronics sensitive to electrical noise on the ground path.

This receptacle is suited for commercial and light industrial branch circuit installations where isolated grounding is required by code or specification. It fits standard single-gang wallboxes and installs in the same manner as a conventional duplex receptacle. The Decora form factor provides a clean, low-profile finish compatible with Decora-style wallplates. This device is sold as a single unit (each).

Key Features

• Isolated ground design separates the receptacle ground from the equipment grounding conductor to reduce electrical noise
• Decora-style form factor compatible with standard Decora wallplates
• Duplex configuration provides two outlet positions on a single device
• Designed for single-gang standard wallbox installation
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install isolated ground duplex receptacle for use in standard single-gang wallbox applications requiring Decora-style finish plates.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage before wiring. The isolated ground terminal must be connected to a dedicated insulated equipment grounding conductor run back to the panel, separate from the equipment grounding conductor bonded to the box. Do not connect the isolated ground terminal to the wallbox or conduit system.
