Leviton T5325 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Leviton T5325 receptacle satisfy the tamper-resistant outlet requirement in bedrooms and living areas?
The T5325 is a tamper-resistant device with integral shutters that block foreign objects from entering the contact openings, which is what code calls for in dwelling-unit living areas, bedrooms, kitchens and similar rooms. It is a 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R duplex, so it covers standard 15-amp general-purpose branch circuits in those spaces. Note it is residential grade, not hospital grade, so it does not cover patient-care areas.
2) Can I put a 15-amp T5325 outlet on a 20-amp circuit?
The T5325 is rated 15A at 125V with a NEMA 5-15R face. A 15-amp receptacle is permitted on a 20-amp branch circuit when there is more than one receptacle on that circuit, which is the normal multi-outlet bedroom or living room layout. Where a single receptacle sits alone on a 20-amp circuit, or where the job spec calls for 20-amp outlets throughout, you need a 20A 5-20R device instead.
3) Is this a direct swap for an old non-tamper-resistant brown outlet?
Yes. The T5325 is a standard duplex device for a single-gang box, and at 15A/125V with a 5-15R face it replaces an existing 15-amp straight blade receptacle on the same two-wire-plus-ground branch circuit. It comes in brown, so it matches older brown devices and brown wall plates already in the unit. Existing standard duplex cover plates fit.
4) Does a tamper-resistant receptacle like the T5325 also give GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. Tamper resistance and ground-fault protection are separate things. The T5325's shutters only stop objects being pushed into the slots; they do nothing about ground faults or arc faults. For a bathroom, kitchen counter, garage, outdoor or other GFCI location you need a tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle or an upstream GFCI breaker. Arc-fault protection for bedroom circuits is handled at the panel with an AFCI breaker.
5) What plugs fit the Leviton T5325, and will a 20-amp appliance plug go in?
Straight blade configuration, NEMA 5-15R: it takes standard two-blade and three-prong grounding plugs found on household lamps, TVs, chargers and small appliances. A 20-amp plug with the sideways T-slot blade (5-20P) will not enter a 5-15R face. Because the shutters are spring-loaded, plugs need even pressure on both blades going in, which is normal for a tamper-resistant device.
6) Residential grade versus spec or commercial grade: is the T5325 enough for apartment turns?
It is a residential grade device, built for ordinary household plug-in loads in dwelling units, and that is what most apartment bedrooms and living rooms see. For high-cycle spots, corridors, offices, break rooms or anywhere a cord gets pulled daily, step up to a spec grade or commercial grade 5-15R device instead. Many property managers standardize on residential grade in the units and commercial grade in common areas.
7) Do I get a wall plate with the Leviton T5325 receptacle?
No wall plate is included. The T5325 is the receptacle only, so order a standard single-gang duplex cover plate separately, in brown if you want it to match the device. Box, mounting screws in the box, and any pigtails or wire connectors are also on you.
8) Where should I not use this Leviton tamper-resistant receptacle?
Skip it where a 20-amp 5-20R device is specified, where GFCI or weather-resistant protection is required (bathrooms, kitchen counters, garages, outdoors, damp or wet locations), and where commercial or hospital grade is called for. It is a 15A, 125V residential grade straight blade duplex, meant for general-purpose indoor dwelling circuits.
9) What color is the Leviton T5325, and can I get it to match white devices on the rest of the job?
The T5325 is brown. Leviton uses separate catalogue numbers per color in this line, so if the job is white or light almond you order that color's number rather than changing anything about this one. Brown is the one to buy when you are matching existing brown receptacles, switches and plates in older housing stock.
10) What is the Leviton part number for this tamper-resistant 15A brown duplex?
Leviton catalogue number T5325. That is the identifier to quote for a 15A, 125V, NEMA 5-15R tamper-resistant residential grade duplex in brown.
