Leviton Telcom 5458-SS 20A 2-pole 3-wire Single Receptacle

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom 5458-SS is a single electrical receptacle rated at 20 amps with a 2-pole, 3-wire configuration and a NEMA 6-20R receptacle face. This outlet accepts the NEMA 6-20P plug and is designed for grounded, 250-volt circuits where higher-amperage equipment must be connected safely and reliably. It is typically installed by licensed electricians in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where standard 15-amp or 120-volt outlets are not appropriate for the connected load.

This receptacle is suited for applications where equipment draws up to 20 amps on a 250-volt, 2-pole circuit. Common installation scenarios include server rooms, light industrial workspaces, laboratory benches, and commercial equipment installations. The 6-20R face configuration prevents accidental connection of lower-rated plugs, which adds an additional layer of circuit protection in demanding environments.

Key Features

• 20-amp rating supports higher-draw commercial and industrial equipment
• NEMA 6-20R receptacle face accepts 6-20P plugs only, preventing mismatched connections
• 2-pole, 3-wire grounded configuration for 250-volt circuits
• Single receptacle format for dedicated circuit termination
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation single receptacle for NEMA 6-20R applications on grounded 250-volt, 20-amp branch circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning any wiring work. The 6-20R receptacle requires a dedicated 20-amp, 250-volt circuit with a properly grounded 3-wire run. Do not install on a 120-volt circuit or use with a plug adapter that bypasses the intended voltage rating.
