Leviton Telcom M1636-HGE Duplex Receptacle 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M1636-HGE is a slim-profile, hospital-grade duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts. Hospital-grade receptacles are built to stricter mechanical and electrical standards than standard commercial devices, featuring reinforced contacts, heavy-duty internal components, and the green dot marking that identifies UL hospital-grade listing. The slim Decora form factor fits flush in standard single-gang wallplates and works with Decora-style cover plates already in use on most installations. Licensed electricians install this device in healthcare environments, medical offices, and other facilities where power reliability and device retention force are critical to safe operation.

This receptacle is intended for 20-amp branch circuits in facilities where hospital-grade wiring devices are required by code or specification. Typical applications include patient care areas, exam rooms, surgical suites, and any facility following NFPA 99 health care facility electrical requirements. The slim body depth eases installation in shallow electrical boxes common in renovation and retrofit work. The Decora-style faceplate profile blends with existing decorator-style switch and outlet installations throughout a building.
