Plug Into Safety with Leviton’s Line of of Tamper-Resistant (TR) Receptacles

Leviton makes it easy for you to comply with the 2008 NEC mandate for TR Receptacles in all new
residential housing. This requirement results from a Consumer Product Safety Commission study† that
documented injuries in the home caused each year by children attempting to insert foreign objects into
receptacles. TR receptacles have been mandated in hospital pediatric wards for over 20 years and have
proven to effectively prevent electrical injuries. As a long-time manufacturer of tamper-resistant
devices, we are pleased to be at the forefront of this safety measure with an expanded product line
that encompasses a wide range of TR devices in Residential and Commercial Grades.
As more states and municipalities adopt the 2008 NEC code, we expect it to have a major impact on
your market. Although there will be an increase in cost per product, it is negligible compared to the
priceless value of protecting children. To smooth the transition and help you meet your 2008 new
construction needs, we provide a handy crossreference of standard and TR catalog numbers
on the following page.

Section 406.11 requires that all 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in dwelling units in accordance with Section 210.52 to be listed tamper-resistant receptacles.
