Leviton 8300-HGY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 8300 hospital grade receptacle accept a regular 15-amp plug, or only 20-amp cords?
Both. The 8300 is a NEMA 5-20R duplex, which has the T-slot neutral, so it takes standard 15-amp straight blade plugs as well as 20-amp plugs with the sideways blade. That is why it gets used on 20-amp branch circuits feeding a mix of general equipment and medical carts.
2) What is the difference between a hospital grade receptacle and a regular commercial spec grade outlet?
Hospital grade is a tested designation, not a marketing word. Devices carrying it are built and verified to tighter mechanical strength, ground reliability and blade retention standards than standard or spec grade devices. The Leviton 8300 carries that Hospital grade rating along with extra heavy-duty, impact-resistant construction. In patient care areas the electrical code drives you to hospital grade; in a warehouse or office a standard 20A device is usually acceptable.
3) Why are these Leviton 8300 receptacles offered in red, and does the red one work any differently?
Electrically they are identical. All three colors are the same 20A, 125V hospital grade 5-20R device. Red is the convention for outlets fed from the emergency or critical branch of a facility's essential power system, gray and white are used on the normal branch. Order colors to match your facility's circuit identification scheme: 8300-R for red, 8300-HGY for gray, 8300-W for white.
4) Is the Leviton 8300 a tamper-resistant or GFCI device?
No on both counts. The 8300 is a straight blade duplex receptacle, hospital grade and impact resistant, with no shutters and no ground fault protection built in. For pediatric areas or wet locations where TR or GFCI is required, specify a hospital grade tamper-resistant device or feed this one downstream of a GFCI breaker.
5) We are standardizing receptacles across a hospital wing. Do these three colors share one part series?
They do. Gray, red and white are all the Leviton 8300 series hospital grade 20A device, differing only in color, so you can standardize on one catalog number family and stock three finishes for normal, emergency and general use. That keeps your spare parts bin and your submittal simple.
6) Can I use the Leviton 8300 hospital grade receptacle outside a healthcare building?
Yes, and plenty of people do. The hospital grade rating buys you blade retention and mechanical strength, which pays off anywhere plugs get cycled hard, labs, shops, hospitality, school corridors, equipment rooms. Nothing about the device restricts it to healthcare; it is a 20A, 125V, 5-20R straight blade duplex.
