Leviton 16462-W Decora 6-20R Single Receptacle, 20A 250V, White

The Leviton 16462-W is a Decora-style single receptacle configured to the NEMA 6-20R pattern, rated 20A at 250V for dedicated equipment and appliance circuits that require this specific voltage and amperage combination. Finished in white, this Decora-series device delivers the clean, modern faceplate profile Leviton's Decora line is known for while maintaining the rugged internal construction expected of a commercial-grade receptacle. The 6-20R configuration is a purpose-built outlet pattern, meaning it is designed to mate only with 6-20P plugs rated for the same 20A, 250V circuit, helping installers and end users avoid mismatched connections on higher-voltage equipment. As a Decora 6-20R receptacle, this device is well suited for workshops, commercial kitchens, laboratories, and other environments where 250V equipment is common.

Key Features

  • Configuration: NEMA 6-20R receptacle pattern, accepting only matching 6-20P plugs for correct voltage and amperage pairing.
  • Electrical Rating: Rated 20A at 250V, suitable for dedicated single-phase equipment circuits.
  • Decora Design: Features the Decora line's signature rectangular, low-profile faceplate opening for a clean, modern look that coordinates with other Decora devices.
  • Finish: White housing for straightforward coordination with standard wall finishes and Decora wallplates.
  • Single Receptacle: A single-outlet device intended for dedicated-circuit applications rather than general-purpose duplex use.
  • Leviton Build Quality: Manufactured by Leviton, a longtime supplier of wiring devices for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.

Leviton 16462-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a standard 5-15P or 5-20P plug work in the Leviton 16462-W receptacle?
No. The 16462-W is wired to the NEMA 6-20R pattern, rated 20A at 250V, and the blade layout only accepts a matching 6-20P plug. Ordinary 120V cords (5-15P or 5-20P) will not enter it, which is the point of the configuration: it keeps 120V equipment off a 250V circuit. If the equipment has a 120V plug, you need a 5-20R or 5-15R device instead.
2) Is the 16462-W a duplex outlet or a single outlet?
Single. The 16462-W gives you one 6-20R outlet in the device, intended for a dedicated equipment circuit rather than shared general-purpose use. If you need two 250V outlets at one box, this is not the part, because one device yields one receptacle.
3) Can I put the 16462-W on a 240V single-phase circuit for shop equipment?
That is what it is for. Rated 250V at 20A, the device covers a nominal 240V single-phase two-pole circuit feeding one piece of equipment, which is the typical welder, compressor, or kiln receptacle in a shop. It carries no neutral position in the 6-20R pattern, so the circuit runs two hots plus ground.
4) My equipment nameplate says 30A at 240V. Is the 16462-W the right receptacle?
No. The 16462-W tops out at 20A, so a 30A load needs a 6-30R device on a 30A circuit instead. Matching the receptacle to the breaker and nameplate is what keeps the install legal; don't land a 30A appliance on a 20A outlet.
5) What wallplate do I need for a Decora 6-20R receptacle like the 16462-W?
It takes a Decora style plate, not a standard duplex plate. The device uses the Decora rectangular opening, so a duplex-hole cover will not fit over it. Order a single-gang Decora/GFCI style opening wallplate in white to match the device color.
6) Does the Leviton 16462-W come in a bulk pack for a multi-unit or facility job?
Yes, it is packed 100 to the box. That quantity suits standardizing a shop, lab bench run, or kitchen equipment wall on one device, and the single Decora white finish keeps every opening matching. The model number on the device is 16462-W.
7) Will the 16462-W match the other Decora devices already in my building?
Visually, yes. It uses the same Decora faceplate profile as Leviton's other Decora switches and receptacles and comes in white, so a wall of mixed Decora devices stays consistent. Electrically it is its own thing: a 250V, 20A outlet that only takes 6-20P cords, so it is not a drop-in swap for a 120V Decora receptacle beside it.
