Leviton Telcom T5280-B Surge Protected Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T5280-B is a surge-protected duplex receptacle rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. It provides two standard outlets with built-in surge suppression, protecting connected devices from voltage transients and line spikes. This type of receptacle is installed directly in a wall box and is commonly specified in residential and light commercial electrical work where equipment protection at the outlet level is required. Electricians install this unit as part of a broader strategy to protect sensitive electronics without relying solely on plug-in surge strips.

The T5280-B is suited for standard single-gang wall box installations in residential settings, home offices, and light commercial environments. It is appropriate wherever a standard 15-amp, 125-volt duplex outlet is required and where point-of-use surge protection is a priority. The unit ships individually and is sold as a single receptacle.

Key Features

• Built-in surge protection guards connected equipment from voltage transients
• 15-amp, 125-volt rating supports standard residential and light commercial branch circuits
• Duplex configuration provides two outlet positions in a single-gang footprint
• Direct wall-box installation eliminates the need for a separate plug-in surge strip

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation outlet for standard single-gang electrical boxes on 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Secure the device firmly in the wall box and ensure all wire terminations are made per the terminal markings on the device. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated amperage or voltage.
