Leviton Telcom T7280-T Tamper Resistant Duplex Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T7280-T is a tamper resistant duplex receptacle with integrated transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS). Rated at 15 amps and 125 volts, it provides standard 15A outlet functionality while protecting connected equipment from voltage spikes and transients at the point of use. The tamper resistant shutter mechanism meets current NEC requirements for residential and commercial installations where child safety compliance is required. This receptacle is installed by licensed electricians during new construction, renovation, or retrofit projects.

The T7280-T is suited for residential and light commercial applications where both surge protection and tamper resistance are required at the outlet level. Typical install scenarios include bedrooms, kitchens, offices, and any location subject to NEC tamper resistant outlet mandates. Integrating surge suppression directly into the receptacle eliminates the need for plug-in surge strips at individual outlets, making it a cleaner solution for finished spaces.

Key Features

• Integrated TVSS protects connected devices from transient voltage events at the receptacle level
• Tamper resistant shutters meet NEC requirements for child safety in applicable occupancies
• Duplex outlet configuration provides two standard 15A receptacles in a single device

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade for standard duplex receptacle locations on 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuits where tamper resistance and surge protection are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is dead with a voltage tester before beginning work. Follow all NEC grounding requirements for receptacle wiring. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated 15-amp, 125-volt rating.
