Leviton Telcom MT162-HGW Duplex Decora Outlet 15A

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom MT162-HGW is a slim-profile, duplex, tamper-resistant Decora-style receptacle rated at 15 amps. It is designed for standard residential and light commercial electrical installations where a low-profile, decorator-style outlet is required. The slim form factor allows for easier installation in shallow electrical boxes and reduces crowding behind wall plates. Tamper-resistant shutters block foreign object insertion into the slots, meeting NEC requirements for TR-rated receptacles in most residential applications. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers.

This receptacle is suited for standard 15-amp branch circuits in residential construction, renovation, and light commercial buildouts. The Decora form factor is compatible with standard decorator-style wall plates and is commonly specified in new construction and retrofit projects where a clean, modern outlet appearance is required. The white finish blends with standard interior wall finishes. Its slim design is particularly useful in retrofit work where box depth may be limited.
