Leviton C16-GFNT1-0PT Self-test Gfci Outlet 15A Nema 5-15R

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO C16-GFNT1-0PT is a residential-grade self-test ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet rated at 15 amps. It is designed to continuously monitor the circuit for ground fault conditions and automatically trip when a fault is detected, without requiring manual testing by the installer or homeowner. The device features monochromatic buttons, a self-grounding clip, and brass double-wipe contacts and clamps for reliable electrical connection. It supports 20-amp feed-through wiring, allowing it to protect downstream receptacles on the same circuit. A screwless wall plate is included. Licensed electricians install this device in residential settings per NEC requirements.

This GFCI outlet is suited for residential installations in locations where ground fault protection is required by code, including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, outdoor areas, and other wet or damp locations. It supports both back-wire and side-wire termination methods, offering flexibility during rough-in and finish wiring. The 20-amp feed-through capability allows the outlet to extend GFCI protection to additional receptacles downstream on the same branch circuit. This package contains 3 units.

Key Features

• Self-test functionality automatically verifies GFCI protection without manual intervention
• 20-amp feed-through rating allows downstream GFCI protection on the same circuit
• Brass double-wipe contacts and clamps for secure, low-resistance termination
• Self-grounding clip simplifies installation in metal outlet boxes
• Back-wire and side-wire capability for flexible termination options
• Screwless wall plate included

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation GFCI receptacle for standard residential 15-amp branch circuits using NEMA 5-15R configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning any wiring work. Follow the line and load terminal markings precisely when wiring for feed-through protection, as reversed connections will defeat downstream GFCI coverage. Confirm the self-test indicator status after restoring power to verify proper operation.
