Leviton 8215-CAT Tamper-Resistant Hospital-Grade Plug, NEMA 5-15P

The Leviton 8215-CAT is a tamper-resistant, hospital-grade plug built to the NEMA 5-15P configuration, delivering the reliability and safety performance demanded in healthcare, institutional, and other critical-use electrical environments. As a hospital-grade device, the 8215-CAT is engineered to meet the heightened performance and durability standards required for patient-care areas and other high-reliability applications, while its tamper-resistant (TR) design adds an extra layer of protection against accidental contact and unauthorized access to energized contacts. The NEMA 5-15P configuration identifies this plug as a standard straight-blade design intended for use with matching 5-15R receptacles, making it a dependable choice wherever hospital-grade performance and tamper resistance are specified.

Leviton 8215-CAT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Leviton 8215-CAT plug fit a standard 5-15R outlet?
Yes. The 8215-CAT is built to the NEMA 5-15P straight-blade configuration, so it mates with any matching 5-15R receptacle, which is the standard 125V 15A outlet found throughout commercial and healthcare buildings.
2) Is the Leviton 8215-CAT sold individually or only in a case?
It comes as a pack of 100 plugs. That is the order unit, so a facility replacing a handful of cord ends on equipment is buying a full case quantity. For shops needing a single hospital-grade 5-15P, the Bryant 8266T is the same configuration and grade from another brand.
3) I need a hospital-grade plug for a 20A 125V cord set, not 15A. What should I use instead of the Leviton 8215-CAT?
The Leviton 8215-CAT is a NEMA 5-15P device, so it will not serve a 5-20P opening. The Bryant 8395T is a hospital-grade plug in the NEMA 5-20P configuration and is an angle-body plug, which suits cords that need to exit parallel to the wall. For a non-hospital-grade 20A 125V angled option, the Pass & Seymour EHU series angled straight blade plug is rated 20A 125V.
4) What is the closest hospital-grade equivalent to the Leviton 8215-CAT NEMA 5-15P plug?
The Bryant 8266T is the closest match: it is a hospital grade plug in the NEMA 5-15P configuration, the same straight-blade configuration and grade as the Leviton 8215-CAT. The Leviton 8215-CAT adds a tamper-resistant design intended to guard against contact with energized components, so if tamper resistance is part of the spec, the Leviton is the one that carries it.
5) The cord end will be in a wet or washdown location. Is the Leviton 8215-CAT the right hospital-grade plug?
The Leviton 8215-CAT is a tamper-resistant hospital-grade NEMA 5-15P plug and is described for equipment cords and patient-care area connections rather than watertight service. Where the termination has to stand up to water, the Bryant 8666TSP is a watertight hospital-grade plug, though it is a NEMA 6-15P device (250V two-pole three-wire), so the receptacle and equipment voltage have to match that configuration rather than 5-15R.
6) Is the 8215-CAT a replacement cord cap or a molded plug on a cord?
It's a field-wireable cord cap, meant to be terminated onto equipment cords and cord sets. You supply the cord; the plug is the termination. That makes it the part to order when you're rebuilding a damaged cord end on hospital equipment rather than replacing the whole cord assembly.
7) What does the tamper-resistant feature on this Leviton plug actually do?
The TR design on the 8215-CAT guards against accidental or unauthorized contact with the energized contacts of the device. It's a safety layer aimed at sensitive occupancies, behavioral health and pediatric spaces being the obvious ones, where exposed blade contact is a real risk. Note this is tamper resistance on the plug itself, not a tamper-resistant receptacle.
8) Can I use the Leviton 8215-CAT to standardize cord ends across a whole facility?
That's what the 100-piece pack is for. One configuration, NEMA 5-15P, one grade, hospital grade, across every 15A 125V cord-connected device in the building means one part number in the storeroom and one set of blades your maintenance staff gets used to terminating. Anything running 20A or a locking configuration needs a separate part.
9) Will the Bryant 7516NC work in place of the Leviton 8215-CAT?
No. The Bryant 7516NC is an NM10-50P series rubber plug, a 50A non-NEMA-standard configuration with entirely different blades. The Leviton 8215-CAT is a NEMA 5-15P straight-blade plug meant to mate with standard 5-15R receptacles. The two will not interchange in either direction - match the plug to the receptacle configuration on the circuit.
10) We are standardizing hospital-grade 5-15P plugs across a facility in bulk. Which option covers that?
The Leviton 8215-CAT is sold in a pack of 100, which suits standardizing a fleet of equipment cords on one tamper-resistant hospital-grade NEMA 5-15P device. If the facility also has 5-20P cord sets or wet-location terminations, those openings need different devices - the Bryant 8395T covers hospital-grade NEMA 5-20P and the Bryant 8666TSP covers watertight hospital-grade NEMA 6-15P - so plan the standardization by configuration, not by grade alone.
11) What is the exact Leviton part number for this tamper-resistant hospital-grade plug?
Order it as Leviton 8215-CAT. That is the manufacturer part number for the tamper-resistant hospital-grade NEMA 5-15P plug, and the CAT suffix is part of the number, not a separate option.
12) What is a general-purpose cord plug alternative to the Leviton 8215-CAT for shop and maintenance cords?
For cord sets that do not require hospital grade, the Pass & Seymour PS5965Y MaxGrip M3 nylon cord plug is a general-purpose option, and its yellow body makes the cord end easy to spot in a work area. The Leviton 8215-CAT is a hospital-grade, tamper-resistant NEMA 5-15P plug, so keep it on the equipment where that grade and the tamper-resistant feature are being specified.
