Leviton Telcom MT563-SE Tamper Resistant Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MT563-SE is a slim-profile, tamper-resistant duplex receptacle rated for 20-amp service. Tamper-resistant (TR) shutters prevent foreign object insertion into the slots, meeting NEC requirements for TR outlets in residential and commercial installations. The slim body depth allows installation in shallow electrical boxes where standard-depth devices may not fit. Licensed electricians install this device as part of branch-circuit wiring in new construction, renovation, and retrofit projects.

This receptacle is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 20-amp duplex outlets are required. Its slim form factor makes it practical in locations with congested box fill or shallow-depth retrofit boxes. The Lev-Lok retention system provides a secure, stable fit within the wallplate and mounting assembly, reducing the chance of device movement after installation.
