Leviton GFCI Outlet with LED Indicator Light - White

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a crucial safety device that protects individuals from electric shock and electrocution caused by dangerous ground-faults. Ground-faults occur when electricity flows along an unintended path, such as through water or a person. Examples of this include operating electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions, current leakage from appliances or tools, or when electrical wiring is frayed or damaged. Leviton GFCIs not only meet but exceed National Electric Code® (NEC®) standards, ensuring maximum protection for users.

No matter what your specific installation requirements may be, Leviton offers a variety of GFCI options to suit your needs. Options in the Leviton line include 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 options continuously safeguard against electric shock and electrocution by immediately cutting off power when a ground-fault is detected.

NEC mandates the use of GFCIs in areas within close proximity to water sources, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages/carports, and pool areas. Leviton GFCIs come equipped with a patented reset/lockout feature that prevents resetting if the GFCI is unable to detect a ground-fault or is improperly wired. They also conduct regular automatic self-tests to ensure optimal safety levels.

An LED indicator on the GFCI offers straightforward feedback on power and protection status. Additionally, tamper-resistant shutters prevent foreign objects like keys from being inserted into the outlet, enhancing safety measures.
