Leviton Telcom 8480-IGI Tvss Receptacle 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 8480-IGI is a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) receptacle that combines four functions into a single device. It provides surge protection at the outlet level, reducing voltage spikes that can damage connected equipment. Rated at 15 amps and 125 volts, it is designed for installation in standard single-gang wall boxes. Electricians install this device as a direct replacement for conventional duplex receptacles where point-of-use surge protection is required. The 4-in-1 design consolidates protection and connectivity functions, making it a practical choice for locations where equipment sensitivity demands more than a standard outlet provides.

This TVSS receptacle is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sensitive electronics, data equipment, or communication devices require protection from transient voltage events. Typical installation scenarios include home offices, server rooms, AV equipment locations, and anywhere a licensed electrician is tasked with upgrading outlet-level protection. Its standard form factor allows it to fit within existing wiring systems without significant modification to the rough-in.

Key Features

• Integrated transient voltage surge suppression at the point of use
• 4-in-1 design combines multiple protective and receptacle functions in one unit
• Rated 15 amps at 125 volts for standard branch circuit compatibility
• Installs in a standard single-gang wall box like a conventional receptacle
• Reduces risk of equipment damage from voltage transients on the line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade receptacle for standard 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuits requiring point-of-use transient voltage surge suppression.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage before beginning work. The device installs in a standard single-gang box using the existing branch circuit wiring. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated amperage or voltage.
