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

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M1626-HGG is a hospital-grade duplex receptacle rated at 15 amps and 125 volts, built to the stricter construction and testing standards required for healthcare facility installations. Its slim Decora-style form factor fits standard single-gang wallplates and works within shallow-depth outlet boxes where space behind the wall is limited. The green dot on the face identifies this device as hospital grade, meeting UL 498 requirements for secure plug retention and heightened durability. Electricians install this receptacle in patient care areas, clinical workspaces, and other locations where the NEC and facility codes mandate hospital-grade devices.

This receptacle is suited for commercial and healthcare environments that require dependable, code-compliant wiring devices. The slim body design makes it a practical choice for retrofit work in existing walls where deeper devices would not fit without box extensions. It is also used in office and institutional settings where hospital-grade retention force is specified by an engineer or facility manager, even outside strict medical applications. Installation is handled by licensed electricians following applicable NEC guidelines.
