Leviton Telcom T1636-IGB Duplex Tamper-resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T1636-IGB is a duplex tamper-resistant receptacle rated for 20-amp, 125-volt service on a 2-pole, 3-wire configuration. It carries a 5-20R receptacle configuration, making it compatible with standard 20-amp branch circuits. Tamper-resistant shutters help meet current NEC requirements for protection against accidental contact. Electricians and electrical contractors install this device in residential and light commercial wiring projects where code compliance and durability are required.

This receptacle is suited for installation in wall outlets on 20-amp branch circuits in residential construction, renovation, and light commercial applications. The duplex configuration provides two outlets from a single device, reducing the number of boxes needed in standard wiring layouts. It is commonly specified when tamper-resistant outlets are required by local or national electrical code, including in areas accessible to children.
