Eaton eaton-wtrsgf15w Gfci Receptacle 15 Amp Tamper Resistant

Product Description

The EATON eaton-wtrsgf15w is a self-test, tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated at 15 amps. It provides ground-fault circuit interrupter protection at the point of installation, automatically running periodic internal self-tests to verify the device is functioning correctly. If the device fails a self-test, it locks out to indicate service is needed. The tamper-resistant shutters block foreign object insertion, meeting current NEC requirements for residential and commercial applications. Licensed electricians install this device as a primary protection outlet or as a feed-through device protecting downstream receptacles on the same circuit.

This GFCI receptacle is suited for residential and light commercial wiring projects where code requires ground-fault protection. Common installation locations include bathrooms, kitchens, garages, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, outdoor outlets, and areas near water sources. The white finish integrates with standard decor plates. It is appropriate for 15-amp branch circuits and is installed by licensed electricians following NEC Article 210 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and all applicable local electrical codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. For feed-through protection of downstream outlets, connect load-side terminals only to outlets intended for downstream protection. Test the device using the TEST and RESET buttons after installation to confirm proper operation.
