There are actually two different rating 2W+G duplex outlets available (plus 
a third one rated 30 AMP/125 VAC but it only has one socket).  The standard 
duty duplex one is now rated 15 AMP/125 VAC (the actual marked voltage 
depends upon what year the outlet was made).  There is also a heavy duty outlet 
that's rated 20 AMP/125 VAC.  I installed one night before last.  I thought 
I could quote the NEMA numbers but the box it came from only shows the mfg 
number.  It does show a UL logo, though.
