Leviton Telcom M8300-E Duplex Receptacle 20A 125V Hospital Grade

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M8300-E is a hospital grade duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts. Designed to meet the elevated safety and performance demands of healthcare and critical-care electrical installations, hospital grade receptacles carry stricter construction and testing requirements than standard commercial or residential devices. This receptacle is suitable for use in patient care areas and other environments where reliable, code-compliant power connections are required. Licensed electricians install this device as part of branch circuit wiring in medical facilities, laboratories, and other critical-use applications.

The M8300-E is intended for use in healthcare facilities, surgical suites, patient rooms, and similar environments that require hospital grade wiring devices per NFPA 99 and NEC requirements. Its duplex configuration accepts two standard 5-20 style plugs simultaneously, making it a practical fit for equipment-dense clinical spaces. It is also appropriate for demanding commercial or industrial installations where a higher level of receptacle integrity is specified.

Key Features

• Hospital grade construction meeting NFPA 99 and NEC requirements for patient care areas
• 20 amp, 125 volt rating supports higher-draw equipment on 20-amp branch circuits
• Duplex configuration provides two simultaneous connection points
• Built to elevated standards for contact retention, grounding reliability, and device integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation option for hospital grade duplex receptacle applications on 20-amp, 125-volt branch circuits in healthcare and critical-use facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Hospital grade devices installed in patient care areas must comply with NFPA 99 requirements for grounding and receptacle testing. Do not install on circuits that exceed the rated voltage or amperage of the device.
