Is the TPK-R-15A fuse rated for 120V, and if it is, is it recommended at 120VAC?

The link works for me–the device in question appears rated for 600VAC, and as such it would suitable for protecting a 120VAC line. In fact, it would be over-rated for such use in most cases and as such might not be as “practical” as a fuse in either of the 5x20mm or 3AG formats that are typically used for 120VAC applications

Under normal conditions, there is no appreciable voltage across a fuse; that only happens when they blow open to interrupt a circuit. Fuse voltage ratings exist to indicate the maximum circuit voltage that a fuse can be depended on to interrupt. Further discussion on this and other fuse-related topics can be found here.
