Leviton Telcom T1636-IGW Duplex Tamper-resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T1636-IGW is a duplex tamper-resistant electrical receptacle rated for 2-pole, 3-wire (2P3W) wiring in a 20-amp, 125-volt NEMA 5-20R configuration. It ships in a Decora-style finish in white, designed to mount flush with standard decorator wallplates. Tamper-resistant shutters block foreign object insertion into the slots, meeting code requirements for child-safe installations. Licensed electricians install this device in branch-circuit rough-in and device-replacement work across residential and light commercial applications.

This receptacle fits standard single-gang outlet boxes and is suited for use in dwelling units, offices, schools, and other occupancies where tamper-resistant outlets are required by the National Electrical Code. The Decora form factor aligns with matching Decora-style switches and wallplates for a uniform finish throughout a project. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for both new construction wiring and retrofit replacement of existing duplex outlets.
