The Leviton 070‑05801‑000 is a 20‑amp, 125‑volt, specification‑grade single grounding receptacle engineered for high‑demand commercial, industrial, and institutional applications. Part of Leviton’s 5801‑series heavy‑duty straight blade receptacles, this device is designed to deliver superior durability, long service life, and consistent electrical reliability in environments where outlets are frequently used and subjected to mechanical stress.
Constructed with a smooth‑face, high‑impact nylon body, this receptacle provides excellent resistance to abrasion, impacts, and chemicals—making it ideal for professional settings such as office buildings, hospitals, schools, warehouses, fabrication shops, and public facilities. The narrow‑body design allows for easier installation and maximized wiring room inside standard wall boxes.
The NEMA 5‑20R, 2‑pole / 3‑wire grounding configuration makes this outlet suitable for 20A circuits, providing safe and dependable power for commercial‑grade equipment. Brass double‑wipe line contacts ensure outstanding plug retention, reduced heat buildup, and excellent conductivity, while a zinc‑plated steel mounting strap provides structural rigidity.
Installation is streamlined through side‑wire screw terminals capable of accepting #14–10 AWG copper conductors. Backed‑out terminal screws, clearly marked terminal ID indicators, and rugged construction make this device contractor‑friendly and designed for long‑term reliability.
