Leviton 16362-HGW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 5-20R hospital grade receptacle accept a regular 15-amp plug?
Yes. The NEMA 5-20R face on this Leviton hospital grade duplex takes both standard 15A straight blade plugs and 20A plugs with the sideways neutral blade, so equipment cords of either type land in the same device. It is rated 20A at 125V, so it belongs on a 20A branch circuit.
2) What is the difference between a hospital grade receptacle and a standard commercial one?
Grade is the whole point of this device. It is built to the hospital grade standard, which is an extra heavy-duty construction intended for repeated plug insertions and constant daily use, where a standard-grade device wears out early. That matters in patient care areas, labs, and any high-traffic facility opening where a device failure is not acceptable. If the circuit is ordinary office or back-of-house power with light plug cycling, a standard commercial spec grade device does the same electrical job for less device.
3) Which Leviton part number do I order for a white hospital grade 20A duplex, and which one for ivory?
Two colors are offered. White is Leviton 16362-HGW and ivory is Leviton 8300-SGI. Both are the same 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R hospital grade duplex, so pick by the finish schedule on the job.
4) Can I put this 20A hospital grade receptacle on a 15-amp circuit?
No. A 20A 125V receptacle belongs on a 20A branch circuit with 12 AWG conductors and a 20A breaker. Installing a single 5-20R on a 15A circuit is not a code-legal arrangement. If the existing circuit is 15A, use a 15A hospital grade device instead, or upsize the circuit.
5) Will a Decora Plus hospital grade receptacle fit my existing wall plates?
It uses the Decora Plus rectangular opening, not the traditional duplex figure-eight opening. That means it needs a Decora style wall plate, and a standard duplex plate will not fit over it. If you are standardizing a floor or a wing, order the plates to match, and note the white (16362-HGW) and ivory (8300-SGI) devices so the plate color matches the device.
6) Is this receptacle suitable for patient care areas in a hospital?
Yes, that is what it is built for. It carries the hospital grade rating and Leviton lists patient care areas, hospitals and healthcare facilities, laboratories, and clean room environments among its intended applications. For patient care spaces, also confirm your project's grounding and redundant ground requirements with the electrical engineer of record.
7) For a building-wide receptacle replacement, can I use these everywhere or only in the clinical areas?
They work anywhere on a 20A 125V circuit, so a facility can standardize on one device across clinical and non-clinical spaces and keep a single part on the truck. Two colors cover most finish schedules: white 16362-HGW and ivory 8300-SGI. The limit is the circuit, not the room. Any opening fed by a 15A circuit needs a 15A device rather than this one.
8) Is this a duplex receptacle or a single outlet?
Duplex. The device carries two 5-20R straight blade outlets on one yoke, so a single box position gives you two independent connections. Straight blade, not twist-lock, so ordinary equipment cords plug straight in.
