Leviton Telcom M1626-HGE Duplex Receptacle 15A 125V Hospital Grade

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom M1626-HGE is a duplex electrical receptacle designed for hospital-grade applications where superior contact retention and safety are required. Rated at 15 amps and 125 volts, this slim-profile Decora-style outlet fits standard single-gang wallplates while meeting the elevated performance standards expected in healthcare and critical-care environments. The slim body depth simplifies installation in shallow or congested outlet boxes. Electricians working in medical facilities, exam rooms, and similar settings specify hospital-grade receptacles to satisfy inspection and code requirements for patient-care areas.

This receptacle is suited for commercial and healthcare construction, renovation, and service work where hospital-grade wiring devices are specified by the electrical engineer or required by facility management. The Decora form factor integrates cleanly with standard Decora wallplates already in use across a project. It is installed by licensed electricians and is appropriate wherever a 15-amp, 125-volt duplex outlet with hospital-grade certification is called for in a single-gang box.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify the absence of voltage with a tested meter before wiring. Hospital-grade receptacles in patient-care areas are subject to specific NEC Article 517 requirements; confirm inspection and labeling requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before rough-in. Do not exceed the device amperage or voltage ratings.
