Leviton 5801-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 5801 single receptacle accept a regular 15A plug, or only 20A plugs?
The 5801 is a NEMA 5-20R single receptacle rated 20A at 125V. That configuration has the T-slot neutral, so it takes both standard 5-15P plugs and 5-20P plugs with the horizontal blade. It is a single outlet, not a duplex, so you get one receptacle face per device.
2) Can I put the Leviton 5801 on a 15A branch circuit?
No. A single 20A receptacle has to be fed by a 20A circuit, since a single (non-duplex) outlet must have an ampere rating not less than the branch circuit. On a 15A circuit you would need a 15A single receptacle instead. The 5801 is rated 20A at 125V.
3) What colors does the Leviton 5801 narrow body receptacle come in?
Two: White (5801-W) and Ivory (5801-I). Order by the suffix, and match it to the wallplates already on the job so the gang doesn't come out mismatched.
4) Is the Leviton 5801 tamper-resistant enough for a school or daycare circuit?
It has integrated tamper-resistant shutters that block insertion of foreign objects into the slots, which is the TR feature codes call for in child-occupied areas. The body is also impact-resistant for high-traffic spaces. Confirm the specific occupancy requirement with your AHJ, since that is a code call on the room, not the device.
5) What does narrow body mean on a receptacle, and does it help in a crowded box?
Narrow body means the device is slimmer front to back and side to side than a standard spec grade receptacle, so it clears conductors more easily in a stuffed box and lines up better in multi-gang layouts. That is the main reason installers reach for the 5801 on renovation work where box fill is already tight.
6) Is a specification grade receptacle different from a residential or commercial grade one?
The 5801 carries a Specification grade rating, which is the tier above general residential devices: heavier contacts and a heavier-duty body meant for continuous commercial and industrial use. If your drawings say spec grade, this device meets that call-out. If a job only needs a builder-grade outlet, a lighter commercial device will do the same job for less device.
7) Should I use a single 20A receptacle or a duplex on a dedicated circuit?
A single receptacle like the 5801 is what you use when the circuit is dedicated to one piece of equipment, copier, vending machine, appliance, and you do not want a second cord plugged into it. If you want two outlets on the same yoke, you need a 20A duplex device instead; this one is a single receptacle by type.
8) Will the 5801 work on 277V or a 250V circuit?
No. It is a 125V device with a 5-20R face, so it is strictly for 120/125V single-phase branch circuits. For 250V you need a 6-20R configuration, and 277V calls for a completely different device.
9) Does a single receptacle need a different wallplate than a duplex?
Yes. The 5801 single receptacle takes a single-receptacle wallplate with one round opening sized for the 5-20R face, not a duplex plate. Order plates in the matching color, White or Ivory, so the finish lines up across the gang.
