Leviton Telcom 8480-I Tvss Receptacle 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 8480-I is a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) receptacle designed to protect sensitive connected equipment from voltage spikes and electrical surges. This 4-in-1 unit combines surge protection with standard receptacle function, rated at 15 amps and 125 volts. The ivory finish matches standard residential and light commercial wall plates. Electricians and low-voltage installers use this device in applications where equipment protection at the outlet level is required, integrating protection directly into the receptacle rather than relying on a separate point-of-use surge strip.

This TVSS receptacle is suited for residential and light commercial installations where sensitive electronics, telecommunications equipment, or data hardware require surge protection at the outlet. It installs in standard single-gang wall boxes and is appropriate for offices, server rooms, home theater installations, and similar environments where transient voltage events pose a risk to connected devices. The 4-in-1 designation indicates it provides multiple layers of protection within a single device form factor.

Key Features

• Integrated transient voltage surge suppression at the receptacle level
• 15 amp, 125 volt rating for standard branch circuit use
• 4-in-1 design consolidates surge protection and outlet function in one unit
• Ivory finish for compatibility with standard wall plates and covers
• Single-gang form factor fits standard electrical boxes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation TVSS receptacle for standard 15 amp, 125 volt residential and light commercial branch circuits requiring surge protection at the outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for receptacle replacement and surge protection devices. Always shut off branch circuit power at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Follow the device's wiring diagram for line, load, and ground terminations. Do not install on circuits exceeding the 15 amp, 125 volt rating of the device.
