Leviton Telcom TBR15-S1 Duplex Tamper Resistant Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM TBR15-S1 is a duplex tamper-resistant electrical receptacle rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. It features a 2-pole, 3-wire configuration and accepts NEMA 5-15R plug types. Tamper-resistant receptacles use internal spring-loaded shutters that block foreign object insertion unless a standard plug is inserted simultaneously into both slots. This design is required by the National Electrical Code in areas where child safety is a concern, including residential bedrooms, hallways, and family rooms. Licensed electricians install this device as a direct replacement or new construction outlet in standard wall-box applications.

This receptacle is suited for residential and light commercial installations where tamper-resistant protection is required by code. Typical applications include bedroom outlets, living areas, hotel rooms, school facilities, and any location subject to NEC tamper-resistance requirements. The duplex configuration provides two outlets from a single gang box position, making it a standard replacement for conventional 15-amp duplex outlets in retrofit and new construction wiring projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Secure the receptacle firmly within the wall box and ensure all wire connections are made to the correct terminals before restoring power. Do not install on circuits rated above 15 amps or at voltages exceeding 125 volts.
