Leviton Telcom MT563-S Tamper-resistant Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MT563-S is a slim-profile, tamper-resistant duplex electrical receptacle rated for 20-amp branch circuits. Tamper-resistant shutters block foreign object insertion while still accepting standard and T-slot plug configurations. The slim body reduces box fill depth, making it well-suited for installations where wall box clearance is limited. This receptacle is intended for installation by licensed electricians on commercial and residential branch circuit wiring.

The MT563-S is appropriate for general-purpose 20-amp outlet installations in commercial office spaces, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and residential applications where tamper-resistant receptacles are required by code. The slim form factor is particularly useful during retrofit or remodel work where existing wall boxes have limited depth. It ships as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before wiring the device. Use appropriate AWG conductors rated for the circuit load, and torque terminals per the device markings if listed.
