Leviton GFTR1-HGR Gfci Tamper-resistant Outlet

Product Description

The LEVITON GFTR1-HGR is a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet designed with tamper-resistant shutters to meet current NEC requirements for residential and light commercial installations. The tamper-resistant feature prevents foreign objects from being inserted into the slots, adding a layer of safety in locations where children may be present. This receptacle is installed by licensed electricians in new construction and retrofit applications where GFCI protection is required by code. The built-in test and reset buttons allow field verification of proper function without additional tools.

This GFCI receptacle is suited for installation in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, outdoor locations, and other areas designated by the NEC as requiring ground fault protection. Tamper-resistant GFCI outlets are now mandated in most residential receptacle locations under current NEC editions, making this a standard specification item for new builds and panel-level upgrades alike.

Key Features

• Tamper-resistant shutters meet NEC requirements for child-safety protection at receptacle openings
• Integrated GFCI protection with test and reset buttons for field verification
• Suitable for wet and damp location applications when used with an appropriate in-use cover

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the circuit breaker supplying the outlet before beginning any wiring work and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester. GFCI outlets must be wired with correct line and load terminal orientation; reversing line and load connections will prevent proper ground fault protection. Test the receptacle with the test and reset buttons after installation to confirm correct operation before closing the box.
