Leviton Telcom MT163-HGW Duplex Receptacle 20A White

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom MT163-HGW is a 20-amp, 125-volt duplex electrical receptacle in a Decora slim-profile form factor. Built with a tamper-resistant design, this outlet meets current NEC requirements for tamper protection in residential and commercial applications. The slim body depth makes it well-suited for installations where box fill or wall cavity space is limited. It ships in a white finish and is sold as a single unit. Licensed electricians are the primary installers, and the part is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit wiring projects.

This receptacle is suited for standard 20-amp branch circuit installations in residential, light commercial, and mixed-use occupancies. The Decora form factor is compatible with Decora-style wallplates, making it a direct-fit option where existing trim and hardware follow that standard. The tamper-resistant shutter mechanism is built into the outlet body, requiring no additional accessories to satisfy NEC tamper-protection requirements in applicable spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and guest rooms.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify the absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Do not exceed the rated amperage of the device or connect to a circuit with incompatible overcurrent protection. Secure the receptacle to the outlet box per manufacturer mounting requirements before attaching the wallplate.
