Leviton GFCI Outlet, 15 Amp, Self Test, Non Tamper-Resistant with LED Indicator Light

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is an essential safety device that helps protect people from electric shock and electrocution due to hazardous ground-faults. These ground-faults occur when current flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person. Leviton GFCIs are designed to meet or exceed National Electric Code® (NEC®) standards, providing continuous protection against electric shock and electrocution by interrupting power if a ground-fault is detected.

The NEC requires the installation of GFCIs in areas around the home that are in close proximity to a water source, including the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, basement, garage/carport, and pool area. Leviton offers a wide range of GFCI options to suit various installation needs, including Standard, Weather-Resistant, Combo GFCI/USB, Combo GFCI/Switch, Guide Light, Audible Alert, Wi-Fi GFCI, Blank Face, Dual-Function AFCI/GFCI, and GFCI Circuit Breakers.

One of the key features of Leviton GFCIs is the patented reset/lockout feature, which prevents the device from being reset if it is unable to respond to a ground-fault or if it is not wired properly. Additionally, Leviton GFCIs regularly conduct an automatic self-test to ensure their continued safety and reliability. The LED indicator on these devices provides simple, intuitive feedback on the power and protection status, making it easy for users to monitor the GFCI's performance.

Leviton GFCIs are designed for non-tamper-resistant applications, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. These devices help protect people from electrical hazards by quickly interrupting the flow of current when a ground-fault is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock and electrocution.

In summary, Leviton GFCIs are essential safety devices that help safeguard people from the dangers of ground-faults. With their continuous protection, automatic self-testing, and intuitive feedback, these GFCIs are an important component in ensuring electrical safety in homes and other environments.
