Leviton Telcom MT163-ILR Locking Receptacle 20A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MT163-ILR is an illuminated, tamper-resistant, hospital-grade locking receptacle in a decorator-style form factor. Rated at 20 amps and configured as a 5-20R outlet, it incorporates a Lev-Lok locking mechanism that secures the plug connection to prevent accidental disconnection. The built-in illumination allows for quick visual identification in low-light environments. Tamper-resistant shutters block foreign object insertion, meeting safety code requirements in sensitive installations. This receptacle is intended for installation by licensed electricians in commercial, institutional, and healthcare facility settings.

This device is suited for locations where secure, code-compliant power connections are required, including hospital patient care areas, laboratories, and commercial facilities subject to NEC tamper-resistant outlet requirements. The decorator-style design fits standard decorator wallplates. The illuminated feature assists maintenance staff and occupants in locating active circuits in dimly lit spaces. The 5-20R configuration accepts standard 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, making it broadly compatible with typical 120-volt equipment loads in commercial environments.
