Leviton 8300-HW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 5-20R receptacle accept a regular 15-amp plug as well as a 20-amp plug?
Yes. A NEMA 5-20R face has the T-shaped neutral slot, so it takes both straight-blade 15A (5-15P) cords and 20A plugs with the turned blade. The Leviton narrow body duplex is rated 20A at 125V, so it belongs on a 20A branch circuit; putting it on a 15A circuit does not increase what the wiring can carry.
2) What is the difference between Leviton 16352, 16362-HGG, and the 8300 series receptacles?
They are different device choices on the same 20A 125V 5-20R platform. Model 16352 is the Decora Plus smooth-face commercial narrow body version. Model 16362-HGG is the hospital grade variant, which is what you specify for patient care areas and anywhere a hospital grade green dot is called out. The 8300 models are offered in variants including 8300-HW, 8300-OIG and 8300-SGR, which differ by device option and colour designation. Order by the exact model number, since the faces are not interchangeable in spec.
3) I need a hospital grade 20A outlet for a clinic exam room. Which model do I order?
Order the 16362-HGG. It is the hospital grade option in this 20A, 125V, 5-20R group, and hospital grade is the device type specified for patient care spaces. The standard 16352 is commercial grade and will not satisfy a hospital grade callout.
4) Will a Decora Plus receptacle work with the standard duplex wall plates already on my other outlets?
No. The Decora Plus smooth face uses a rectangular Decora-style opening, not the two round-eared duplex opening. If your existing plates are standard duplex, you need Decora/screwless Decora plates for these devices. Worth checking before you order a fleet quantity for a building where the plates are staying.
5) Can I use this 20A receptacle to replace a worn 15A outlet in an office?
Only if the branch circuit and conductors support it. The device is rated 20A at 125V, and a 20A receptacle should be fed by a 20A circuit on 12 AWG. If the existing circuit is 15A on 14 AWG, use a 15A device instead. Retrofit and replacement work is one of the intended applications, so the swap is straightforward once the circuit checks out.
6) Why choose a narrow body receptacle instead of a standard commercial duplex?
The narrow body profile gives you more room in the box. In a multi-gang box or a shallow box crowded with conductors, the slimmer device body makes folding wires and seating the strap easier without fighting the neighbouring devices. Electrically it is the same 20A, 125V, 5-20R device as a full-size commercial grade unit.
7) Is this receptacle heavy duty enough for a commercial corridor or breakroom, or is it residential grade?
It is Commercial Grade, not residential. The housing is impact resistant and the device is built for repeated plug insertions in high-traffic facilities, which is where standard residential-grade receptacles fail first. Typical fits are offices, industrial power distribution, and retrofit of worn-out devices.
8) What colour is the Leviton 16352 narrow body duplex receptacle?
Brown. It is a smooth-face Decora Plus device in a brown finish, which is the common match for older commercial installs where the existing devices and plates are brown rather than ivory or white. If you are standardizing a building on one colour, note that other models in the 8300 group carry their own colour designations.
9) Is this a duplex or a single receptacle, and can I split the two outlets?
It is a duplex straight blade device, giving two independent outlets from one strap. Whether you can split it onto two circuits depends on the break-off tab between the brass terminals on the specific model, so confirm the tab on the unit in hand before wiring a split-feed or switched-half configuration.
