Leviton Telcom M1626-IGR Isolated Ground Slim Receptacle 15A

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom M1626-IGR is a Decora-style isolated ground slim receptacle rated at 15 amps. Isolated ground receptacles are used where sensitive electronic equipment requires a clean, low-noise ground path separate from the equipment grounding conductor. The slim profile makes installation easier in crowded electrical boxes. This type of device is installed by licensed electricians in commercial, healthcare, data, and light industrial settings where power quality and ground integrity are critical to equipment performance.

The M1626-IGR suits applications where standard receptacles introduce ground-loop noise or interference that can affect audio, video, computer, or instrumentation equipment. It is a common specification item for server rooms, recording studios, medical facilities, and office environments with sensitive electronics. The Decora-style faceplate fits standard Decora wall plates, making it a straightforward drop-in for new construction and retrofit work alike.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify the circuit is dead with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Isolated ground receptacles require a separate insulated ground conductor run back to the panel ground bus, distinct from the equipment grounding path, per NEC Article 250.146(D). Do not connect the isolated ground terminal to the standard equipment ground at the outlet location.
