Leviton GFCI Weather-Resistant Outlet, 20 Amp, Self Test, Outdoor Locations
Category: GFCI
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is an important safety device designed to protect people from electric shock and electrocution due to hazardous ground-faults. Ground-faults occur when a current flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person. Leviton's weather-resistant GFCIs are specifically engineered for wet and damp locations, helping to safeguard individuals while meeting or exceeding National Electric Code® (NEC®) standards.
Leviton offers a wide range of GFCI options to cater to 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. These GFCIs are built to withstand the elements, featuring stainless steel straps and screws, UV-stabilized plastics, and a cold impact-resistant face and buttons.
The continuous protection provided by Leviton's GFCIs ensures that power is interrupted if a ground-fault is detected, effectively guarding against electric shock and electrocution. This feature is required by the NEC for areas around the home that are in close proximity to a water source.
The patented reset/lockout feature of Leviton's GFCIs prevents the device from being reset if it is unable to respond to a ground-fault or if it is not wired properly, further enhancing safety. Additionally, these GFCIs regularly conduct an automatic self-test to ensure their continuous operation and reliability.
The intuitive LED indicator on Leviton's GFCIs provides simple and immediate feedback on the power and protection status, allowing users to quickly assess the functionality of the device.
Regardless of your installation needs, Leviton has a GFCI solution that is tailored to meet your requirements. With their weather-resistant design, continuous protection, and advanced safety features, Leviton's GFCIs are the reliable choice for ensuring the safety of people in wet and damp environments.
