Legrand radiant 20A Outdoor GFCI Tamper Resistant Weather Resistant Decorator Outlet, Gray

The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) receptacle is designed to provide superior protection against weather, tampering, and potential risks to children. It meets the weather-resistant and tamper-resistant requirements of the National Electrical Code, ensuring a reliable and safe electrical system.

The GFCI receptacle is listed to the weather-resistant supplement of UL498, meeting the demanding UL requirements, including the ultraviolet light exposure test, cold impact test, and accelerated aging test. These stringent tests ensure the superior corrosion resistance of the current-carrying parts, wire binding screws, and mounting straps, providing long-lasting protection against the elements.

Importantly, the GFCI receptacle conducts an automatic test every three seconds, ensuring it is always ready to protect. If the device fails the test, the indicator light flashes, alerting the user that the GFCI should be replaced. This feature provides peace of mind and continuous protection.

Moreover, the GFCI receptacle has a patented shutter system that helps prevent the improper insertion of foreign objects, further safeguarding children from potential electrical hazards.

The GFCI receptacle's design also offers practical benefits. It is thinner than competitors' GFCI receptacles, leaving more room for wires in the box. Additionally, the auto-ground clip assures a positive ground to the metal box, enhancing the overall safety of the installation.

Compliance with the latest UL requirements is another key feature of this GFCI receptacle. It meets the 2015 UL requirements, ensuring it meets the latest safety standards.

The feed-thru wiring configuration of the GFCI receptacle allows it to protect downstream receptacles, providing comprehensive protection for the entire electrical system. Furthermore, it prevents line-load reversal miswire, ensuring that no power is supplied to the face or downstream receptacles if the wiring is incorrect.

Lastly, the GFCI receptacle exceeds the UL 943 voltage surge requirements, surviving 100 times the required UL 3Ka/6Kv voltage surge test cycles. This feature enhances the receptacle's durability and ability to withstand electrical surges.

In summary, the GFCI receptacle is a comprehensive solution that meets the highest standards for weather resistance, tamper resistance, and child protection, while also offering practical design features and compliance with the latest UL requirements. Its advanced features and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.
