Leviton Telcom T8200-T Duplex Tamper Resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM T8200-T is a duplex tamper-resistant electrical receptacle rated at 15 amps, 2 pole, 3 wire (NEMA 5-15R configuration). It is designed as a wall outlet for branch-circuit wiring in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. The tamper-resistant mechanism uses internal shutters that prevent insertion of foreign objects into the slots unless both blades of a plug are inserted simultaneously. Electricians and electrical contractors install this device as part of standard rough-in and finish electrical work where tamper resistance is required by code.

This receptacle is suited for installation in dwelling units, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, and any occupancy where the National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates tamper-resistant outlets. It fits standard single-gang electrical boxes and is appropriate for 15-amp, 120-volt branch circuits. The 5-15R configuration makes it compatible with standard two-prong and three-prong 15-amp plugs used throughout North America.

Key Features

• Tamper-resistant shutter mechanism blocks single-blade insertion to help meet NEC requirements
• NEMA 5-15R duplex configuration accepts standard 15-amp 2 and 3 prong plugs
• 2 pole, 3 wire grounding design for standard grounded branch circuits
• 15-amp rating suitable for typical residential and light commercial branch circuits
• Duplex outlet provides two simultaneous receptacle positions in a single device

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation duplex receptacle for standard single-gang electrical boxes on 15-amp, 120-volt branch circuits requiring tamper-resistant outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local electrical codes. Always shut off the branch circuit at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Secure the device firmly in the electrical box and install an appropriate wall plate before restoring power. Tamper-resistant receptacles are required in specific locations per NEC Article 406; verify the installation location meets current code requirements.
