Leviton GFWT2-HGI Gfci Outlet Tamper Resistant

Product Description

The LEVITON GFWT2-HGI is a GFCI outlet designed for installations that require both tamper-resistant and weather-resistant protection. GFCI outlets in this class interrupt the circuit within milliseconds when a ground fault is detected, protecting users from electric shock in wet or outdoor environments. This outlet is suited for licensed electricians installing receptacles in locations subject to moisture exposure or where tamper-resistant protection is required by code.

This outlet is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications including outdoor receptacles, bathrooms, kitchens, garages, crawl spaces, and unfinished basements. Its weather-resistant construction makes it a common choice for exterior wall installations, covered patios, and other damp or wet-location scenarios where code mandates GFCI protection.

Key Features

• Ground fault circuit interrupter protection for wet and damp locations
• Tamper-resistant design to prevent accidental contact with live terminals
• Weather-resistant construction rated for outdoor and damp-location use
• Self-test functionality monitors protection status automatically

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation GFCI receptacle for residential and light commercial electrical systems requiring tamper-resistant, weather-resistant GFCI protection per NEC requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Power to the circuit must be shut off at the breaker panel and verified with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram and ensure the LINE and LOAD terminals are correctly identified before making connections. GFCI outlets installed in wet or damp locations must be housed in an appropriate in-use weatherproof cover.
