Leviton 21254-HI – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Leviton 21254-HI hospital grade receptacle accept both 15A and 20A plugs?
Yes. The 21254-HI is a NEMA 5-20R configuration rated 20A at 125V, and a 5-20R face takes both the standard 15A parallel-blade plug (5-15P) and the 20A T-slot plug. That is what lets one device cover equipment with either cord cap, which is the point of the four-in-one straight blade design.
2) Is the Leviton 21254-HI suitable for patient care areas?
It is a Hospital Grade device, which is the grade required for receptacles in patient care spaces. Hospital Grade means the receptacle has been tested for higher retention force and mechanical strength than a standard spec grade device, so it holds a cord cap under repeated insertion and accidental pull. Note it is not a tamper-resistant or isolated ground variant, just straight blade Hospital Grade at 20A, 125V.
3) Do I need a 20 amp circuit to install a 5-20R hospital grade receptacle?
Yes. A 5-20R face is only permitted on a 20A branch circuit, so the 21254-HI needs 20A overcurrent protection and 12 AWG conductors. Putting a 20R on a 15A circuit lets someone plug in a 20A load the wiring cannot carry. If the circuit is 15A, use a 5-15R hospital grade device instead.
4) What color is the Leviton 21254-HI receptacle, and will it match my existing devices?
Ivory. The -HI suffix on the 21254 part number is the ivory color code, so it pairs with ivory wallplates and matches ivory switches and receptacles already on the wall. If your building is standardized on white, light almond, brown, gray, red or black, you need the equivalent 21254 in that color code rather than this one.
5) Does the Leviton 21254-HI come with a wallplate?
No. It is the receptacle only, supplied with its mounting strap and screws for a standard duplex opening. You order the wallplate separately, and for hospital grade work most specs call for a stainless steel or high impact nylon duplex plate. In ivory, choose an ivory duplex plate to match the device.
6) Is the Leviton 21254-HI an isolated ground receptacle?
No. The 21254-HI is a straight blade Hospital Grade device with a standard equipment ground, not an isolated ground type. If your drawings call for IG, typically shown as an orange device with a green triangle, specify a Leviton isolated ground hospital grade receptacle instead of this one.
7) Can I use this hospital grade receptacle in a commercial or industrial building rather than a hospital?
Yes, and plenty of specifiers do. Hospital Grade is an extra heavy-duty construction standard, not a restriction on where it can be installed, so it is a common upgrade for high-cycle locations in schools, labs, hotels and plants where standard devices loosen up. Rated 20A at 125V, it drops into any ordinary 20A, 125V duplex opening.
8) Where can I get the Leviton 21254-HI spec sheet for a submittal?
Leviton publishes technical information for the 21254-HI, and ZenSupply hosts the PDF at https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/leviton/technical-information-0c2216.pdf. That is the document to attach to a submittal package along with the device rating, 20A at 125V, NEMA 5-20R, Hospital Grade.
