Product highlights
The Amico 15A Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlet boasts a comprehensive set of features designed to enhance safety, ease of installation, and overall durability. At its core, the tamper-resistant (TR) design is a critical safety mechanism. Internal shutters prevent the insertion of foreign objects into the slots, greatly reducing the risk of electrical shock, especially for curious children. This feature is now a code requirement in many regions, highlighting its importance in modern electrical installations.
Each outlet comes with included wall plates, ensuring a complete and polished look right out of the box. These plates are designed to perfectly match the outlet, providing a seamless and professional finish. Furthermore, the innovative break-off plaster ears facilitate easy alignment and secure mounting in various wall box types, accommodating imperfections in the drywall or plaster. This attention to detail simplifies the installation process and ensures a snug fit.
Installation flexibility is another hallmark of the Amico 15A Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlet. It offers two convenient wiring options: side wire and push wire. The side wire option supports both 12AWG and 14AWG wires, providing a secure connection with brass screws for hot wires, silver screws for neutral, and green screws for ground. The push wire option, suitable for 14AWG only, offers a quick and tool-free connection, ideal for rapid installations. This versatility makes it adaptable to different wiring preferences and existing electrical setups.
Moreover, these outlets are UL Listed, signifying that they have been rigorously tested and meet strict safety and performance standards established by Underwriters Laboratories. This certification provides an extra layer of assurance regarding the product's quality and reliability. With a robust construction and an ultra-long service life, these outlets are built to last, delivering consistent performance for years to come.

How to use & care
Using the Amico 15A Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlet is straightforward, just like any standard electrical outlet. Simply plug in your electrical devices to enjoy reliable power. The tamper-resistant feature operates automatically; you don't need to do anything special. When inserting a plug, ensure both prongs are aligned and pushed in simultaneously to engage the internal shutters correctly. This mechanism is designed to prevent single-object insertion, enhancing safety without hindering normal use.
Caring for your Amico 15A Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlet is minimal. To maintain its pristine appearance and ensure proper function, periodically wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or the plastic components. Always ensure the power to the outlet is turned off at the circuit breaker before performing any cleaning or maintenance to prevent electrical hazards.
For optimal performance and safety, it's crucial to ensure that the total amperage of devices plugged into the outlet does not exceed its 15A rating. Overloading an outlet can lead to overheating, tripped breakers, and potential fire hazards. If you notice any signs of wear, damage, or flickering power, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician for inspection and replacement. Proper installation by a professional or an experienced DIYer following local electrical codes is key to the long-term reliability and safety of your Amico 15A Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlet.
