Leviton Telcom 5262-SGT Industrial Tamper Resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 5262-SGT is an industrial-grade tamper resistant duplex receptacle rated at 15 amps. Tamper resistant receptacles incorporate internal shutters that block access to energized contacts unless both slots are engaged simultaneously by a plug, reducing the risk of accidental contact with live terminals. This type of device is installed in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities wherever code requires tamper resistant protection at standard 15-amp outlets. Electricians and facilities maintenance personnel are the primary installers of this device.

The 5262-SGT is suited for installation in industrial environments, commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies where tamper resistant receptacles are mandated by the National Electrical Code. Its heavy-duty industrial construction makes it appropriate for locations subject to frequent use, elevated mechanical stress, or demanding environmental conditions. This receptacle is sold as a single unit and is intended for use in standard electrical outlet applications requiring 15-amp capacity.

Key Features
