Leviton Telcom T7280-B Tr Duplex Receptacle Tvss 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T7280-B is a tamper-resistant duplex receptacle with transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) rated at 15 amps and 125 volts. It combines standard duplex outlet functionality with built-in surge protection, making it suitable for locations where sensitive equipment requires protection from voltage transients on the line. The tamper-resistant shutters meet current NEC requirements for child safety, blocking foreign object insertion while allowing standard plug engagement. Electricians install this device as a direct replacement or new-construction outlet in residential and light commercial applications.

This receptacle is used in residential and light commercial wiring projects where both surge protection and tamper resistance are required at the outlet level. Typical install scenarios include bedrooms, hallways, and common areas where code mandates tamper-resistant devices, as well as locations near electronics, home office equipment, or audio-visual systems that benefit from point-of-use surge suppression. It mounts in a standard single-gang electrical box.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off the circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring the device. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram on the device for proper line and load terminal connections. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated 15-amp, 125-volt capacity.
