Leviton GFCI Outlet, 15 Amp, Self Test with LED Indicator, Electric Shock Protection, GFNT1-W, White

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) serves as a vital safety device designed to safeguard individuals against electric shock and potential electrocution caused by dangerous ground faults. These ground faults can occur when electric currents travel along unintended paths, such as through water or even a person's body. Situations that may lead to ground faults include using electrical equipment in damp or wet conditions, leaks from appliances or tools, and damage to electrical wiring, such as frayed or worn insulation.

Leviton GFCIs are engineered to provide reliable protection for users while adhering to or surpassing the standards set by the National Electric Code® (NEC®). Whatever your installation requirements may be, you will find a suitable GFCI within Leviton’s diverse product range. The selection includes various models such as Standard GFCIs, Weather-Resistant GFCIs, Combo GFCI/USB devices, Combo GFCI/Switch units, Guide Light models, Audible Alert GFCIs, Wi-Fi-enabled GFCIs, Blank Face options, as well as Dual-Function AFCI/GFCIs and GFCI Circuit Breakers.

One of the key features of Leviton GFCIs is their ability to continuously monitor for electric shock and electrocution risks by automatically interrupting power when a ground fault is detected. The NEC mandates the installation of GFCIs in specific areas of the home that are in close proximity to water sources, including kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages or carports, and pool areas.

An innovative patented reset and lockout feature enhances safety by preventing the GFCI from resetting if it fails to respond appropriately to a ground fault or if it is incorrectly wired. Additionally, these devices conduct regular automatic self-tests to ensure their operational safety and reliability.

An LED indicator provides users with clear and intuitive feedback regarding the status of power and protection, enhancing the overall user experience. It’s important to note that while some models may not feature tamper-resistant designs, they still maintain a commitment to safety.

In conclusion, choosing the right GFCI is crucial for protecting both yourself and others from electrical hazards. With Leviton, you can rest assured that safety, compliance, and innovation are at the forefront of their GFCI offerings, allowing you to select the perfect device tailored to your needs. Whether you need a GFCI for home use or for a specific installation, Leviton has the right solution to ensure safety around electricity, especially in water-prone areas, thereby enhancing protection against electrical accidents. Stay safe and secure with quality GFCIs that are built to last and perform, delivering peace of mind in every scenario involving electricity and water.
