Leviton Telcom MT820-T Tamper Resistant Hospital Grade Duplex

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MT820-T is a slim-profile, tamper-resistant, hospital-grade duplex receptacle designed for demanding electrical installation environments. Built to hospital-grade standards, it incorporates internal shutter mechanisms that block foreign object insertion while allowing standard plug engagement. The slim body profile makes it well-suited for shallow wall boxes and tight installation spaces. Licensed electricians and facility maintenance technicians install this receptacle in settings where both safety compliance and reliable outlet performance are required.

The MT820-T is intended for use in healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, and institutional environments where hospital-grade outlets are specified by code or facility standards. Its tamper-resistant feature makes it appropriate for pediatric wards, patient rooms, clinics, and any location requiring compliance with NEC tamper-resistant outlet requirements. The Lev-Lok duplex configuration provides secure, consistent connection for facility electrical loads.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before beginning work. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can crack the device body or warp the yoke. Confirm box fill calculations comply with NEC Article 314 before installing in shallow boxes.
