Leviton 8315-CT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 8315-CT plug fit a standard 20-amp 125V hospital receptacle?
Yes. The 8315-CT is built to the NEMA 5-20P configuration, which mates with 20-amp, 125-volt receptacles. The 5-20P blade pattern has one T-slot-matching horizontal neutral blade, so it will go into a 5-20R receptacle but will not fit a 15-amp-only 5-15R. If the outlet you are plugging into is a plain 5-15R, you need a 5-15P plug instead.
2) Is the Leviton 8315-CT actually hospital grade, or just hospital style?
Hospital grade. Leviton lists the 8315-CT at hospital grade, which is the construction level specified for patient care areas where a plug has to hold its grip and survive repeated cord handling. That is what separates it from a general-use cord plug, and it is why it gets specified for clinical equipment, labs, and other critical-use connections.
3) What hospital-grade plug do I use if the cord is on a 15-amp 125V circuit instead of 20-amp?
The 8315-CT is a 20-amp 5-20P and is the wrong configuration for a 15-amp 5-15R outlet. For 15 amps at 125 volts in hospital grade, the Bryant 8266T is a NEMA 5-15P hospital-grade plug. If the equipment is 250-volt 15-amp, the Bryant 8666TSP is a watertight hospital-grade plug in N6-15P.
4) What is the closest hospital-grade alternative to the Leviton 8315-CT in a NEMA 5-20P plug?
The Bryant 8395T is the nearest match: it is a hospital-grade plug in the NEMA 5-20P configuration, the same configuration and grade as the Leviton 8315-CT. The difference is body style - the Bryant 8395T is an angle plug, where the Leviton 8315-CT is a straight tamper-resistant hospital-grade plug. Choose the angle body where the cord must exit parallel to the wall behind equipment, and the Leviton where a straight entry clears.
5) My cord set terminates in a 15-amp 5-15 receptacle, not a 20-amp. What hospital-grade plug should I use instead of the 8315-CT?
Use the Bryant 8266T, a hospital-grade plug in the NEMA 5-15P configuration. The Leviton 8315-CT is NEMA 5-20P, whose horizontal-neutral blade will not enter a straight 5-15 receptacle. For a 5-15 opening the 8266T keeps you at hospital grade while matching the receptacle pattern.
6) Is the Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip plug a substitute for the Leviton 8315-CT in a patient care area?
No. The Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip straight blade plug is an industrial specification grade device rated 15A 125V, while the Leviton 8315-CT is hospital grade in the NEMA 5-20P configuration. Where a facility specifies hospital-grade cord caps for patient care equipment, the industrial-grade Ultra Grip does not meet that call-out, and its 15A rating is a step down from the 20-amp configuration.
7) How many Leviton 8315-CT plugs come in a pack?
The 8315-CT ships 100 plugs to the pack. That is a facility or contractor quantity, so if you are re-terminating cords across a hospital wing or stocking an MRO crib it works out; for a one-off repair it is far more than you need.
8) What does tamper-resistant mean on a plug like the Leviton 8315-CT?
On the 8315-CT the tamper-resistant construction guards against unauthorized or accidental contact with the live parts of the connection. On a cord plug that matters in areas where the public, patients, or children can reach the cord. It is a property of the plug itself, not of the receptacle it goes into.
9) What is the exact part number to order the Leviton tamper-resistant 5-20P hospital plug?
Order Leviton 8315-CT. The CT suffix is the pack configuration, and the plug itself is the tamper-resistant hospital-grade 5-20P. Quoting that full part number keeps you from landing on a standard-grade or non-tamper-resistant 5-20P.
10) For standardizing hospital-grade cord caps across a facility, how do the Bryant hospital-grade plugs differ from the Leviton 8315-CT?
All four are hospital grade, and they split by configuration and body. The Leviton 8315-CT is tamper-resistant NEMA 5-20P in a 100-piece pack. The Bryant 8395T is NEMA 5-20P in an angle body, the Bryant 8266T is NEMA 5-15P, and the Bryant 8666TSP is a watertight N6-15P. Stock the 8315-CT for 5-20 patient care connections and add the others only where the receptacle pattern or a wet location calls for them.
11) Can I use the Leviton 8315-CT on a 50-amp range or welder cord?
No. The Leviton 8315-CT is a NEMA 5-20P device for 20-amp, 125-volt receptacle configurations. For a 50-amp connection the Bryant 7516NC is the rubber plug in the NM10-50P series, an entirely different blade pattern and rating. The two are not interchangeable in either direction.
12) Can I use the Leviton 8315-CT on general commercial equipment, or is it only for healthcare?
It is not restricted to healthcare. The 8315-CT is used for institutional and commercial electrical systems and laboratory work as well as patient care areas. Hospital grade simply means a higher construction and retention standard, so it is a reasonable upgrade anywhere a 20-amp 125-volt cord connection takes heavy plug-and-unplug duty.
13) We need high-visibility cord caps for shop equipment - is the Leviton 8315-CT the right pick?
If visibility of the cord end is the driver, the Pass & Seymour PS5965Y MaxGrip M3 nylon cord plug is supplied in yellow. The Leviton 8315-CT is a hospital-grade, tamper-resistant NEMA 5-20P plug specified for patient care, laboratory and other critical-use connections rather than for color coding on general shop equipment.
