Tamper Resistant in Dormitory rooms

Not sure if you noticed but they are also now printing LEGRAND on the face of the switches and receptacles.

P&S (Legrand). These ones, I believe:

I'm not a fan of P&S, I had a batch of faulty ones where the shutters seized and as a result, the homeowners were trying to force the plug in so hard that they ended up breaking faces right off the receptacle.

Yes, they are doing away with all the brand names and simply putting Legrand on everything.

That's fine on the strap but now they are engraving it on the plastic face of the device.

Yes they were. I didnt get the memo. Still terrible, the only thing they blend in better with is standard outlets. I cant believe customers or ECs complained about the shudder color.

You need to be an interior designer to understand:happyyes:

Their primary choice would be no receptacles at all, but they still want to be able to plug about anything imaginable in.:huh:

Most universities use their dorm rooms for other visitors outside of the normal school year. For example summer camps, alumni for reunions (with kids in tow), etc.

Some people are students for 10+ years.

I would say not required as not included in the listing of the type of occupancy.
That is my 2 cents worth.

TR is only required by NEC in dwelling units, guest rooms or suites of hotels/motels, or child care facilities.

NEC defines dwelling units and guest rooms/suites in art 100, child care facilities is subject to interpretation. I know some AHJ's are requiring TR in areas normally occupied by children under 7 years of age in schools and other facilities, maybe not the entire school but this means in the kindergarten classroom, the preschool classroom, maybe first grade classrooms.

And that is exactly what that definition of "child care facility" requires, as I read it.

406.2 Definition
Child Care Facility. A building or structure, or portion thereof, for educational, supervisory, or personal care services for more than four children 7 years old or less.

I didn't think to look there for that definition.:blink:

But I thought there was one somewhere in NEC.
