Leviton GFCI Outlet, 20A, Self Test, Non Tamper-Resistant, LED Indicator, Shock/Electrocution Protection, GFNT2-W, White

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is an important safety device that helps protect people from electric shock and electrocution due to hazardous ground-faults. The National Electric Code® (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 GFCIs are designed to meet or exceed NEC standards, providing continuous protection against electric shock and electrocution by interrupting power if a ground-fault is detected. Their patented reset/lockout feature prevents the GFCI from being reset if it is unable to respond to a ground-fault or if it is not wired properly, ensuring safety. Additionally, Leviton GFCIs regularly conduct an automatic self-test to ensure that they are functioning as intended.

The Leviton line of GFCI products offers a variety of options to suit different 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 provide simple, intuitive feedback on power and protection status through LED indicators.

Ground-faults occur when current flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person. This can happen in various situations, such as 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 designed to protect people from these hazardous ground-faults, ensuring a safer living environment.

The non-tamper-resistant design of Leviton GFCIs allows for easy installation and maintenance, making them a practical choice for homeowners and professionals alike. Whether you need a GFCI for a standard indoor application or a weather-resistant option for outdoor use, Leviton has a solution that meets your specific requirements.

In summary, Leviton GFCIs are essential safety devices that help prevent electric shock and electrocution by interrupting power in the event of a ground-fault. With their innovative features, compliance with NEC standards, and wide range of product options, Leviton GFCIs offer reliable protection and an enhanced level of safety for your home or workplace.
