Product catalog summary

Introduction
Hubbell's Tamper-Resistant (TR) Receptacles address common issues with household plugs, which often have weak or bent blades. The patented cam action mechanism in Hubbell's receptacles provides a smoother and more reliable plug insertion compared to conventional spring-loaded mechanisms.

Conventional vs. Hubbell Technology
Traditional TR receptacles use a spring-loaded sliding ramp mechanism, which can be problematic with sharp or damaged plug blades. Hubbell's patented cam action mechanism eliminates these issues by using a rotating action to move the insulating barrier, reducing friction and improving ease of use.

Product Range and Applications
Hubbell's TR receptacles are available for industrial, hospital, commercial, and residential use, ensuring a suitable product for various projects. The design is praised by professionals for its ease of use and reliability.

Safety and Compliance
The 2017 National Electrical Code requires tamper-resistant receptacles in specific areas to prevent electrical shocks and burns, particularly in environments frequented by children. Hubbell's products comply with these requirements, enhancing safety in homes, hotels, child care facilities, and more.

Product Specifications
The document lists various models of Hubbell TR receptacles, categorized by type (e.g., duplex, decorator), wiring method (e.g., side wired, back and side wired), and color options. These products are available in different amperage ratings (15A and 20A) and are designed for both tamper and weather resistance.

Conclusion
Hubbell's TR receptacles offer a reliable solution to common plug issues, ensuring safety and ease of use across multiple applications. For a complete product listing, refer to Hubbell's full-line catalog.
