Legrand 1597-GRY Gfci Receptacle 15A 125V 20A Gray

Product Description

The LEGRAND 1597-GRY is a GFCI receptacle rated for 15 amps at 125 volts with 20-amp feed-through capability, finished in gray. Ground fault circuit interrupter receptacles detect current imbalances as small as 4-6 milliamps and trip the circuit to prevent shock hazard. This device is designed for standard single-gang wall box installations in residential and light commercial applications. Electricians install it anywhere the National Electrical Code requires ground fault protection, including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors, and unfinished basements. The gray finish suits industrial and commercial environments where standard white or ivory devices are not preferred.

This GFCI receptacle is suited for use in 15-amp branch circuits while providing 20-amp feed-through protection downstream. Typical installations include wet or damp location applications where NEC Article 210 mandates GFCI protection. The gray color option makes it appropriate for commercial panel rooms, utility spaces, and industrial facilities where the finish must coordinate with gray electrical devices and cover plates.

Key Features

• 15-amp, 125-volt GFCI receptacle with 20-amp feed-through rating
• Gray finish for commercial and industrial aesthetic coordination
• Ground fault protection suitable for wet and damp location requirements
• Standard single-gang form factor for straightforward box installation
• Test and reset buttons for field verification of ground fault function

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation GFCI receptacle for standard single-gang electrical boxes in 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuit wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Always switch off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring the device. Connect line and load terminals correctly — reversing them will prevent proper downstream GFCI protection. After installation, press the test and reset buttons to confirm the device is functioning before restoring power.
