Tamper Resistant GFCI Outlet Receptacle for Outdoor/Kitchen/Bathroom

The 15 AMP WR GFCI Outlet is distinctly different from conventional receptacles. In the event of a ground fault, the GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of electricity, preventing serious injury. A ground fault occurs when electricity passes through a person's body to reach the ground, instead of following its normal safe path. For example, a defective appliance can cause a ground fault. It's important to note that the GFCI receptacle does not protect against circuit overload, short circuits, or shocks. A person can still be shocked if they touch bare wires while standing on a non-conducting surface, such as a wood floor.

The installation process involves three simple steps. The key features of this product include:

Tamper Resistant (TR): The safety shutters mechanism inside the outlet blocks access to the contacts unless a 2-prong plug is inserted, preventing accidental insertion of foreign objects and complying with residential building codes.

Weather Resistant (WR): The outlet is built with UV-stabilized engineering thermoplastic for protection against the long-term effects of exposure to sunlight and high cold impact, making it perfect for humid or outdoor environments like bathrooms, kitchens, patios, and balconies.

Indicator Light & Alarm Light: During operation, the indicator light will be green. The alarm light will be red, flashing when self-testing, and turning on immediately when the GFCI is no longer providing ground fault circuit protection.

Bare Copper: The ground is connected to the green screw on the GFCI.

Wall Plates: The wall plates are made of unbreakable polycarbonate, providing a durable and decorative finish.

UL Certified: The product has the UL Certificate No.: 2015UL943, ensuring it meets safety standards.

The 15 AMP WR GFCI Outlet and the 20 AMP WR GFCI Outlet are both available for purchase. Customer reviews for the 15 AMP WR GFCI Outlet have an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars, based on 351 reviews.
