Leviton Telcom RER20-DT Tamper Resistant Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM RER20-DT is a tamper resistant duplex receptacle designed for 2-pole, 3-wire electrical installations. Tamper resistant receptacles feature internal shutters that block access to the contacts unless both slots are engaged simultaneously, meeting code requirements for child safety in residential and commercial settings. This receptacle is installed by licensed electricians as part of branch circuit wiring in walls, floors, or other standard outlet locations. It ships as a single unit and is suited for locations where NEC tamper resistance requirements apply.

The RER20-DT is appropriate for standard AC branch circuit outlet installations in residential and light commercial applications. Its 2-pole, 3-wire configuration supports grounded circuits as required by current electrical codes. Typical install scenarios include new construction wiring, remodel outlet replacement, and code-compliance upgrades in occupied spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and pediatric or public-access areas where tamper resistant devices are mandated by the NEC.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off and lock out the branch circuit breaker before removing an existing receptacle or making wiring connections. Verify circuit voltage, amperage, and wire gauge compatibility before installation. Do not overtighten terminal screws, and confirm all connections are secure before restoring power.
