Leviton GFCI Outlet, 20 Amp, Self Test, Tamper-Resistant with LED Indicator

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is an essential safety device designed to protect people from electric shock and electrocution caused by hazardous ground-faults. Ground-faults occur when an electrical current flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person. This can happen when operating electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions, when electrical current leaks from appliances or tools, or when electrical wiring becomes frayed or damaged.

Leviton GFCIs are engineered to meet or exceed National Electric Code® (NEC®) standards, ensuring reliable protection for a wide range of installation needs. The Leviton line offers a variety of GFCI options, 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.

These GFCIs provide continuous protection against electric shock and electrocution by swiftly interrupting power if a ground-fault is detected. The NEC requires the use of GFCIs in areas around the home that are in close proximity to a water source, such as the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, basement, garage/carport, and pool area.

Leviton's patented reset/lockout feature is designed to prevent the GFCI from being reset if it is unable to respond to a ground-fault or if it is not wired properly. Additionally, the GFCI regularly conducts an automatic self-test to ensure its safety and reliability.

The LED indicator on the GFCI provides clear, intuitive feedback on the power and protection status, making it easy for users to understand the device's operational state. Furthermore, the tamper-resistant shutters prevent foreign objects, such as keys, from being inserted into the outlet, enhancing safety and preventing potential accidents.

By incorporating these advanced features and meeting or exceeding industry standards, Leviton GFCIs offer a robust and reliable solution for protecting people from the hazards of electric shock and electrocution. Whether you need a standard GFCI or a specialized model, Leviton has the right GFCI to meet your installation requirements and provide the necessary safety measures in your home or workplace.
