Leviton Telcom RER20-OB Tamper Resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM RER20-OB is a tamper-resistant duplex electrical receptacle finished in Onyx Black, designed for residential and light commercial wiring applications. Part of the Renu line, this receptacle features a built-in tamper-resistant shutter mechanism that blocks foreign object insertion while allowing standard plug blades to engage normally. The Onyx Black finish makes it a practical choice for installations where outlet color must coordinate with dark-toned wall plates or design schemes. Licensed electricians install this device as a code-compliant outlet solution where tamper resistance is required by the National Electrical Code.

This receptacle is suited for standard 120-volt branch circuit wiring in walls, floors, or other outlet box locations in residential construction, renovation projects, and light commercial interiors. The Renu-series design allows the color face to be swapped without replacing the entire device, which reduces material cost on projects requiring color-matched outlets across multiple rooms or units.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes.

Secure the device to the outlet box using the provided mounting screws and install an appropriate single-gang wall plate rated for this device series.
