Leviton CR20-GY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Leviton CR20-GY 20 amp receptacle accept a regular 15 amp plug?
Yes. The CR20-GY uses the NEMA 5-20R configuration, which has the T-shaped neutral slot, so it takes standard 15 amp straight-blade plugs as well as 20 amp T-blade plugs. That is why it's the common choice on a 20 amp commercial branch circuit feeding mixed equipment: office gear on 15A cords plugs in normally, and a 20A appliance cord still lands. It runs 125 VAC, 2-pole, 3-wire.
2) What wire size can I land on the Leviton CR20-GY outlet, and does it have back wire holes?
Terminals take 14 through 10 AWG copper, and termination is side wire only, so every conductor lands on a screw under the terminal plate. Screws are steel 8-32. If you're pulling 10 AWG on a long 20A run, it fits, but plan the box fill and pigtail length for side-screw landings rather than push-in. Terminals are color coded the standard way: brass for hot, silver for neutral, green for ground.
3) Do I still need to run a ground pigtail to the box with a self-grounding receptacle?
The CR20-GY is self-grounding: brass ground clips on the zinc-plated steel strap make the bond to the mounting screw and metal box, so a properly grounded metal box grounds the device through the strap. It also carries a steel 8-32 grounding screw if you want to land an equipment grounding conductor directly, and in a nonmetallic box you must, since there's nothing for the clip to bond to.
4) Does this Leviton outlet have GFCI or tamper-resistant protection built in?
No. The CR20-GY is a straight commercial spec grade duplex receptacle, no GFCI and no tamper-resistant shutters. Where code puts you on GFCI protection, the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is a 20A hospital grade self-test GFCI duplex. Where you need tamper resistance, such as childcare or patient areas, look at the Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster tamper-resistant duplex. Either of those replaces this device at the box rather than supplementing it.
5) What is the closest 20 amp spec grade duplex receptacle to the Leviton CR20-GY if a white device is needed?
The Pass & Seymour 26352W is a 20A 125V heavy-duty specification grade duplex receptacle in white, matching the CR20-GY on 20 amp rating and 125 VAC service while carrying a decorator face rather than the CR20-GY indented face. The CR20-GY is gray. Choose the 26352W where the wall plate run and existing device color are white and a decorator opening is already cut; choose the CR20-GY where the gray commercial spec grade device matches the rest of the floor.
6) Can the Eaton 5262W be used in place of a Leviton CR20-GY?
Not for a 20 amp circuit. The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a 15A 125V duplex receptacle with a 5-15R face, while the CR20-GY is rated 20 A with the NEMA 5-20R T-slot pattern that accepts a 20 amp plug. Both are gray duplex devices, and the 5262W is industrial specification grade against the CR20-GY commercial specification grade. Where a receptacle must be marked and rated for a 20 amp branch circuit, the 5262W is not the equivalent.
7) What 20 amp receptacle should be used at a patient care outlet instead of a standard commercial duplex?
The Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is a hospital grade 20A duplex self-test GFCI receptacle in ivory. It combines the same 20 amp duplex format as the Leviton CR20-GY with hospital grade construction and self-test ground fault protection, which the CR20-GY does not provide - the CR20-GY is a commercial specification grade device with self-grounding through the strap. In patient care spaces and at wet locations calling for GFCI, specify the 2097HGI; the CR20-GY covers general commercial receptacle outlets.
8) Is a commercial spec grade outlet worth it over a residential one for an office or retail buildout?
Commercial specification grade is the step above residential: brass line contacts at .031 thick, a zinc-plated steel strap, and thermoplastic body and face. That construction is what holds up to repeated plug cycling in offices, retail, classrooms, and healthcare corridors where a residential device loosens its blade grip and stops holding a cord. For a fleet standardization program across a building, this is the tier that survives the traffic without going to full industrial.
9) Can I install this Leviton gray receptacle in an unheated warehouse or a garage that freezes?
Operating range runs -40C to 60C, which covers unconditioned warehouse space, loading docks, and parking structures in most climates. The thermoplastic body and face are what let it sit at that low end without going brittle the way some materials do. Temperature rise is held to a max of 30C after 100 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current.
10) Commercial grade vs industrial grade receptacle: which do I need for a shop floor?
Commercial specification grade, which is what the CR20-GY is, covers offices, retail, classrooms, and multi-family where plugs cycle regularly but the environment is clean. For a manufacturing floor or maintenance shop taking abuse, step up to industrial specification grade: Eaton's Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex, though it's 15A 125V on a 5-15R, so it is not a swap for a 20A circuit requiring 5-20R. The Eaton 6450W is an industrial spec grade decorator single receptacle taking the same #14-10 AWG conductors.
11) What is the exact Leviton part number for the 20A commercial duplex in gray?
Leviton CR20-GY. That's the commercial specification grade duplex receptacle, 20A 125V, NEMA 5-20R, 2-pole 3-wire, self-grounding, indented face, gray. Distributors ordering to a spec should quote CR20-GY directly, since the CR series number carries the grade and the GY suffix is the color.
12) I need a twist-lock outlet for portable equipment, not a straight blade. Is this the right device?
No. The CR20-GY is a straight-blade NEMA 5-20R, so a cord will pull out under tension. For a locking connection, the Pass & Seymour L2130R is a 30A L2130 single receptacle in black, and the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC. Those are different circuits entirely at 30A and 50A, so the branch circuit and breaker have to be sized to match, not just the device swapped.
13) Which receptacle meets the tamper-resistant requirement where a Leviton CR20-GY does not?
The Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster is a tamper-resistant duplex receptacle in white. Tamper-resistant shutters are required in dwelling units, child care facilities and similar occupancies, and the Leviton CR20-GY is a commercial specification grade duplex with an indented face and no tamper-resistant designation. Use the 3232TRW where the inspector is checking for TR marking on the device face, and the CR20-GY on commercial 20 amp circuits where TR is not called for.
14) What is the difference between the Leviton CR20-GY and the Eaton 816W single receptacle?
Device count and amperage. The Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A - one outlet per strap. The Leviton CR20-GY is a 20 A duplex receptacle outlet, two outlets per strap, at 125 VAC with a 2-pole 3-wire self-grounding configuration. Both carry commercial specification grade construction. A single receptacle is used where one dedicated piece of equipment must occupy the outlet; the CR20-GY is the general two-outlet device.
15) Is a locking receptacle an alternative to a NEMA 5-20R commercial duplex?
They serve different connections. The Pass & Seymour L2130R is a 30A L2130 single receptacle in black and the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in extra heavy duty construction - both take twist-lock plugs on higher-amperage circuits. The Leviton CR20-GY is a straight-blade NEMA 5-20R duplex at 20 A and 125 VAC that accepts standard cord caps without twisting. Specify a locking device where the cord must not be pulled free or where the load exceeds a 20 amp 125 volt circuit; the CR20-GY covers ordinary 125 volt equipment and appliance outlets.
16) I only need one outlet at the location, not a duplex. What should I order instead?
A duplex like the CR20-GY gives you two receptacles on one strap. For a dedicated single, the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle at 15A, and the Eaton 6450W is an industrial spec grade decorator single. Note both are single-receptacle devices, so on a dedicated branch circuit the single is often what the drawing actually calls for, since a duplex on a dedicated 20A circuit invites a second load being plugged in.
17) Will this gray Leviton outlet match the other devices already installed in my building?
The CR20-GY is gray, sold as a single model, so there is no other color choice under this number. Gray is the usual commercial standard-duplex color alongside white and ivory, so if your existing openings are white or ivory devices, a gray one will read as a mismatch on the wall even with the same plate. For a property manager standardizing a floor, match the color to what's already there or replace the run.
18) Does the Eaton 6450W accept the same conductor sizes as the Leviton CR20-GY?
Yes. The Eaton 6450W heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle terminates #14-10 AWG, the same conductor range the Leviton CR20-GY accommodates at its side wire terminals. The difference is the device format: the 6450W is a single decorator receptacle in industrial specification grade, while the CR20-GY is a duplex with an indented face in commercial specification grade, with brass-hot, green-ground and silver-neutral terminal identification on steel 8-32 screws. Wire pulled for one will land on the other.
