Leviton TDR20-W 20A, 125V, Tamper Resistant Decora Plus Duplex Receptacle, Commercial Grade, White

Leviton's Tamper-Resistant (TR) Receptacles: Plugging into Safety

Leviton, a long-time manufacturer of tamper-resistant devices, is at the forefront of a crucial safety measure mandated by the 2008 NEC (National Electrical Code) for all new residential housing. The Leviton TDR20-W, a 1-pack, white Tamper-Resistant Decora (R) Plus Duplex Receptacle, exemplifies Leviton's commitment to safety.

The requirement for TR receptacles was the result of a Consumer Product Safety Commission study that reported alleged injuries in homes caused by children attempting to insert foreign objects into receptacles. TR receptacles have been mandated in pediatric care areas for over 20 years, proving successful in preventing electrical injuries.

Leviton's expanded product line encompasses a wide range of TR devices in Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Hospital Grades, catering to diverse safety needs. The TDR20-W boasts a 20 Amp, 125 Volt rating, with a Straight Blade design and Commercial Grade construction.

Featuring a Heavy-Gauge Zinc-Plated Steel Locked-in Wraparound Strap, the TDR20-W offers both Back Wire and Side Wire Terminal Options. The Back Wire Terminals accept up to No. 10 Copper or Copper-Clad Wire, in both Solid and Stranded varieties, providing versatility in installation.

The receptacle's Impact-Resistant Thermoplastic Construction ensures durability, while the Brass Staked on Self-Grounding Clip ensures proper grounding. With a Total Outlet of 2, the TDR20-W offers ample power access, making it an ideal choice for residential, commercial, or industrial settings.

Leviton's commitment to safety is evident in the TDR20-W, a product that not only complies with the 2008 NEC mandate but also exemplifies the company's dedication to providing reliable and user-friendly electrical solutions. By making it easy for homeowners, contractors, and electricians to comply with the TR receptacle requirement, Leviton is playing a crucial role in enhancing electrical safety in homes and beyond.
