Duplex Tamper-Resistant Outlet 20 Pack - Residential 15A White

In this review of the ENERLITES 20 pack duplex tamper-resistant outlets, the bottom line is simple: this bundle is aimed at homeowners, landlords, and contractors who need a reliable, code-compliant solution for multiple 15A receptacle installs. The reviewer found the outlets to be well built with a high impact-resistant polycarbonate body, compliant with 2017 NEC Article 406.12, and easy to wire thanks to a shallow body with both backstab and side connection options. For anyone replacing several standard outlets or finishing a multi-room project, the pack delivers convenience and consistent color match when paired with ENERLITES wall plates.

Key Features

• Tamper-resistant design: Built-in shutters help prevent insertion of foreign objects, meeting NEC requirements for child safety in residential settings.
• Durable construction: High impact-resistant polycarbonate thermoplastic cover and body resist cracking and wear for long service life in daily use.
• Wiring flexibility: Shallow body with backstab or side wiring options accommodates crowded electrical boxes and speeds installation.
• Self-grounding: Two-pole, three-wire, self-grounding configuration simplifies grounding during replacement installs.
• Code compliant: Complies with 2017 NEC Article 406.12 for tamper-resistant receptacles and is UL listed for safety assurance.
• Pack quantity: Twenty identical outlets in white make it efficient to outfit multiple rooms or units with a consistent finish.

Who It's For

The outlet pack is best for homeowners updating multiple receptacles, landlords refreshing rental units, and electricians or DIYers handling medium-scale projects who need a reliable supply of standard 15A receptacles. The included installation instructions and the option to use ENERLITES wall plates help maintain a uniform appearance across rooms.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing higher amperage or specialty outlets, or projects that require GFCI protection, USB charging, tamper-proof electronic locking, or decorative finishes other than standard white. For single-outlet replacement buyers, a smaller pack may be more practical.
