Leviton Telcom T5320-ST Tamper Resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T5320-ST is a NEMA 5-15R tamper-resistant, self-grounding duplex receptacle rated for standard 15-amp, 125-volt residential and light commercial circuits. The tamper-resistant shutter mechanism blocks foreign object insertion while the self-grounding feature eliminates the need for a separate grounding clip when installed in compatible metallic boxes, streamlining the rough-in process. This outlet is sold as a single unit and is suitable for general-purpose branch circuit installations where code-compliant tamper resistance is required.

This receptacle is intended for use in residential new construction, renovation, and light commercial applications where the National Electrical Code mandates tamper-resistant outlets. Common install locations include dwelling unit bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and other areas specified under NEC Article 406. Electricians installing in metallic device boxes will benefit from the self-grounding design, which makes ground continuity through the yoke without a pigtail wire.

Key Features

• NEMA 5-15R configuration for standard 15-amp, 125-volt circuits
• Tamper-resistant shutters block single-prong object insertion
• Self-grounding yoke establishes ground continuity through metallic box contact
• Single-unit packaging for per-outlet or small-quantity purchasing
• Designed for NEC Article 406 compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction fit for standard single-gang device boxes requiring a NEMA 5-15R tamper-resistant duplex receptacle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before making any connections. Self-grounding function is only effective when mounted in a properly grounded metallic electrical box. Confirm box grounding continuity before relying on the yoke ground path.
