Hmm.. My Leviton catalog (old.. I need a new one) shows the 6375 as a 5A unit,
and the 6376 as 300w. The website shows the 6375 as 15A, but there still
appears to be no hardwired 220v solution.   20A or 30A capacity would be nice.

I was thinking of something that would mount in a standard 1 or 2 gang box,
possibly even with a heatsink protruding.

Something along the lines of a 6291 or 6371, but without the local switch,
or like a 6296 or 6298 with feedthru, and without the outlet.

I'd also like to see something like the 6376, but with a 500-600w rating.
