Leviton Telcom M1626-HGR Hospital Grade Decorator Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M1626-HGR is a 515R-rated, Lev-Lok hospital grade decorator receptacle finished in red. Hospital grade receptacles meet heightened construction and testing standards required for use in patient care areas and other critical environments. The red color provides immediate visual identification, helping facility maintenance staff and electricians quickly distinguish this outlet from standard-duty devices. This receptacle is designed for installation in wall boxes by licensed electricians working in healthcare, institutional, or other demanding commercial settings where outlet reliability and code compliance are essential.

This receptacle is suited for hospital patient care areas, clinical spaces, and other institutional facilities that require hospital grade wiring devices. The Lev-Lok retention system provides a secure connection between plug and outlet, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection from equipment cords. The decorator-style faceplate profile integrates cleanly with standard decorator wall plates. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit applications in commercial electrical projects.
