The Leviton Decora 15 amp tamper-resistant power outlet is designed to meet the 2008 NEC mandate for residential housing receptacles. Its shutter mechanism blocks foreign objects, such as hairpins and keys, from accessing the contacts. The TR symbol on residential receptacles assures that they meet the 2008 NEC requirement.

This heavy-duty construction offers a long, trouble-free service life, and the unit is CSA- and UL-listed.

The shutter mechanism inside the receptacle serves to block access to the contacts, preventing hairpins, keys, and other foreign objects from reaching the live components. This helps to protect children from potential electrical shock injuries.

The power contacts are designed with a double-wipe feature, ensuring reliable conductivity and plug retention. It's important to note that the unit does not come with outlet plates, which must be purchased separately.
