Leviton Commercial Specification Grade Heavy-Duty Tamper and Impact-Resistant Straight Blade Receptacle

The Leviton Commercial Specification Grade Heavy-Duty Tamper and Impact-Resistant Straight Blade Receptacle is engineered for demanding commercial and industrial environments where durability, safety, and code compliance are essential. Built to Leviton's commercial specification-grade standard, this straight blade receptacle pairs a tamper-resistant internal shutter mechanism with an impact-resistant housing to withstand heavy daily use in high-traffic facilities. Electrical contractors and facility managers rely on spec-grade devices like this one for consistent performance in installations where lower-grade residential devices simply cannot keep up. Its rugged design is intended to reduce maintenance calls and premature device failure over the life of the installation.

Key Features

  • Commercial Specification Grade: Manufactured to meet demanding commercial-grade performance and construction standards, making it suitable for professional electrical installations rather than light residential duty.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed to withstand frequent plug insertions, removals, and general wear in commercial and industrial settings that see continuous daily use.
  • Tamper-Resistant Design: An internal shutter mechanism helps prevent unauthorized or accidental insertion of foreign objects into the receptacle openings, supporting safer installations in occupied spaces.
  • Impact-Resistant Housing: Reinforced housing construction is built to resist cracking, chipping, and damage from impact, a common concern in busy commercial corridors and industrial work areas.
  • Straight Blade Configuration: Utilizes a standard straight blade device profile, keeping it compatible with common commercial wiring devices, plates, and installation practices already in use on the jobsite.
  • Professional-Grade Reliability: Intended for use where consistent, long-term electrical performance is a priority, helping reduce callbacks and downtime associated with device failure.

Leviton M1636-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton M1636-W receptacle accept a standard 15 amp plug, or only 20 amp plugs?
The M1636-W is a NEMA 5-20R configuration, 20A at 125V. A 5-20R face takes both the ordinary 15A straight blade plug (5-15P) and the 20A T-slot plug, so cords on 15A equipment plug in normally. What you cannot do is run it on a 15A branch circuit and call it compliant 20A service, the circuit and conductors have to match the device rating.
2) Is the Leviton M1636-W tamper-resistant receptacle suitable for a school or healthcare corridor?
That is the use it is built for. It combines an internal shutter mechanism that blocks foreign objects from being pushed into the slots with a reinforced housing meant to resist cracking and chipping from impact, which is the failure you see in busy corridors and carts banging into walls. It is a commercial specification grade device, not a residential one, so it is intended for installations in schools, healthcare and government buildings where tamper resistance is required in occupied space.
3) How many receptacles come in a Leviton M1636-W order?
One unit is a pack of 100 devices, all the same white 5-20R configuration. That is a case quantity aimed at new construction or a floor-wide device changeout, so if you need a handful for a service call this is more than you want. For a tenant fit-out or a standardization program across a building, 100 identical spec-grade devices in one color keeps every opening matching.
4) Will the Leviton M1636-W fit my existing wall plates and standard device boxes?
Yes. It uses the standard straight blade duplex device profile, so it mounts in common single-gang and multi-gang boxes and takes the standard wall plates and ganging practices already on the job. The device is white, so if you are matching existing plates you want white or an off-white that reads close to it.
5) Is a tamper-resistant spec grade receptacle the same thing as a GFCI or an AFCI device?
No, and they are not interchangeable on the inspection list. The M1636-W is a tamper-resistant 5-20R straight blade receptacle, meaning shuttered slots that resist object insertion plus an impact-resistant body. It does not provide ground-fault or arc-fault protection. Where your drawings call for GFCI at a wet location or AFCI protection on the circuit, you need a GFCI device or a protective breaker in addition to this one.
6) Why pay for a specification grade receptacle instead of a residential grade one in an office build-out?
Grade is about contact retention and housing strength under repeated use. This Leviton device is built to commercial specification grade for frequent plug insertions and removals in spaces that see continuous daily traffic, where residential-duty devices loosen or break early. In a leased office or retail space the cost of a maintenance call to swap a failed outlet usually exceeds the device cost difference, which is why specifiers write spec grade on the drawings.
7) Where can I get the full electrical specs for the Leviton M1636-W before I submit it?
