Leviton 5362-BU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 5362-BU 20-amp receptacle accept a regular 15-amp plug?
Yes. The 5362-BU is a NEMA 5-20R configuration, which takes both 15-amp straight-blade plugs and 20-amp plugs with the T-shaped neutral blade. So a mixed bag of office equipment and a 20-amp cord cap both land in the same device.
2) Can I use a 20-amp receptacle like the 5362-BU on a 15-amp branch circuit?
No. A 20-amp 5-20R receptacle belongs on a 20-amp circuit with 12 AWG conductors, because the slot configuration tells a user a 20-amp load is permitted. On a 15 amp circuit you would be inviting a 20-amp cord cap onto 14 AWG wire. If the circuit is 15 amps, use a 15-amp 5-15R device instead.
3) Is this receptacle tamper resistant or GFCI protected?
No. The 5362-BU is a straight 125V, 20-amp duplex receptacle with no GFCI or tamper-resistant shutters. If the location calls for GFCI protection, such as a kitchen, bath, rooftop, or outdoor receptacle, use a GFCI device or protect the circuit at the breaker. Where tamper-resistant outlets are required, specify a TR device instead.
4) Why is this Leviton receptacle blue instead of white or ivory?
The blue finish is for circuit identification, not looks. Facilities use color-coded devices to mark a specific circuit, panel, or power source at a glance, for example separating a dedicated equipment circuit from general convenience power in an equipment or maintenance room. Electrically it is the same 125V, 20-amp extra heavy-duty device regardless of color.
5) What does extra heavy-duty mean on a Leviton duplex receptacle, and is it worth it over spec grade?
Extra heavy-duty is the top rung above residential and spec grade, built for repeated plug insertions and withdrawals. That matters where cords get pulled daily: shop benches, equipment rooms, hospitality, classrooms, carts in a corridor. In a tenant bedroom that cycles twice a year it is overkill. The 5362-BU is built to that extra heavy-duty specification.
6) Is the Leviton 5362-BU a self-grounding receptacle, and do I still need a ground wire?
The 5362-BU is a 2-pole, 3-wire device, meaning hot, neutral, and an equipment ground terminal. Land a grounding conductor on it. In a grounded metal box, the yoke contact plus the bonded box can serve, but the three-wire design exists so the equipment ground is carried to the plug.
7) Will the 5362-BU fit a standard single-gang box and take a normal wall plate?
Yes. It is a standard duplex receptacle, so it mounts on the usual 6-32 strap screws in a single-gang box and takes any standard duplex wall plate. Note the device body is blue, so most buyers pair it with a matching plate when the whole point is visual circuit identification.
8) What exact part number do I order for the Leviton blue 20-amp commercial receptacle?
Order Leviton 5362-BU. That is the 125V, 20-amp NEMA 5-20R extra heavy-duty duplex in blue. The 5362 base number is the extra heavy-duty 20-amp duplex; the BU suffix is the blue color, so a different suffix is the same device in another color.
9) Can I wire two separate circuits to the top and bottom halves of this receptacle?
Not as supplied. The 5362-BU is a standard duplex with the two outlets fed in common from one device, so both halves are on the same circuit unless the tabs are broken. For a true split-wired or half-switched outlet you need a device intended for that, or a second receptacle.
