Leviton 8280-B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Leviton 8280-B fit a standard Decorator wallplate opening?
Yes. The 8280-B is a Decorator-configuration device, so it mounts behind a standard rectangular Decorator (screwless or standard) wallplate opening rather than a duplex-style figure-eight plate. If you're swapping out an existing round-hole duplex receptacle, plan on changing the cover plate at the same time.
2) Can I use the 8280-B TVSS receptacle on a standard 15 amp 120 volt branch circuit?
Yes. It's rated 15A at 125V, which covers a standard 120V, 15A residential or commercial branch circuit. It is not a 20A device, so don't use it where the spec calls for a 20A receptacle on a 20A circuit serving a single outlet.
3) Is the Leviton 8280-B a GFCI outlet?
No. It is a surge suppression (TVSS) convenience receptacle, not a ground-fault device. It won't satisfy a GFCI requirement in a bathroom, kitchen counter, garage, or outdoor location. For those, specify a GFCI receptacle and use the 8280-B where the concern is voltage spikes on equipment circuits.
4) Can I replace a regular Decorator outlet with the 8280-B without rewiring?
In a standard 120V, 15A branch circuit box, yes. It takes the same line, neutral, and ground connections as the Decorator receptacle you're removing and uses the same rectangular wallplate, so a straight device swap is normal. Ground continuity matters here more than with a plain outlet, since a TVSS device needs a solid equipment ground to shunt a surge.
5) What does TVSS mean on this Leviton receptacle, and do I still need a plug strip surge protector?
TVSS stands for Transient Voltage Surge Suppression. The 8280-B has that suppression circuitry built into the receptacle itself, so protection happens at the outlet instead of at a plug strip. It covers whatever is plugged into it, which is why it gets specified for workstations, office equipment, and sensitive electronics. A plug strip is still the way to go if you need more outlets than the receptacle provides.
6) If I'm standardizing outlets across an office, what's the exact Leviton part number to order for a surge suppression Decorator outlet?
Order Leviton 8280-B. That's the manufacturer part number for the 15A, 125V Decorator-style TVSS receptacle, and it's the only configuration offered under it, so there's no finish or amperage option to pick on the order.
