Leviton Telcom MT830-T Duplex Receptacle 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MT830-T is a slim-profile, tamper-resistant duplex receptacle rated for 20 amps at 125 volts. Designed for commercial and residential electrical installations, this outlet meets the tamper-resistant requirements found in current NEC editions, which mandate TR-rated receptacles in accessible locations such as hallways, kitchens, and patient care areas. The slim body profile allows installation in tight wall boxes where standard-depth receptacles may interfere with wiring. Licensed electricians are the primary installers for this device in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This receptacle is suited for standard 20-amp branch circuits in residential, light commercial, and institutional settings. Its tamper-resistant shutter mechanism blocks foreign object insertion while still accepting standard NEMA 5-20R plug configurations. The slim design makes it particularly useful in shallow electrical boxes or high-density wiring scenarios common in renovation work and commercial tenant buildouts.
