Leviton Telcom M8300-HE Hospital Grade Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M8300-HE is a hospital grade duplex receptacle featuring the Lev-Lok straight-blade design in a slim-body profile rated for 20-amp service. Hospital grade receptacles meet the elevated mechanical and electrical durability requirements mandated for patient care areas, including robust contact retention and grounding integrity. The slim form factor makes it suitable for installations where box depth or device spacing is limited. Licensed electricians install this device as part of branch-circuit wiring in healthcare, commercial, and institutional facilities.

The M8300-HE is intended for use in hospital, clinic, and medical office environments where hospital grade wiring devices are required by code. The Lev-Lok configuration supports secure plug retention, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection in critical-use settings. It also fits commercial and institutional applications where a 20-amp duplex outlet is needed and a slim-body device is preferred for flush or standard wall plate installations.
