Leviton GFWT2-HGR Gfci Outlet Tamper Resistant

Product Description

The LEVITON GFWT2-HGR is a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet designed for weatherproof and tamper-resistant installations. GFCI protection automatically cuts power when a ground fault is detected, reducing the risk of shock in wet or damp locations. The self-test function periodically verifies that the protection circuitry is operational without requiring manual intervention. This device is installed by licensed electricians in residential and light commercial applications where NEC requirements mandate GFCI protection.

The GFWT2-HGR is suited for outdoor receptacle locations, bathrooms, garages, kitchens, and any area subject to moisture exposure. The tamper-resistant shutter mechanism meets NEC requirements for receptacles in dwelling units, blocking insertion of foreign objects unless both slots are engaged simultaneously. The weatherproof rating makes it appropriate for covered and exposed outdoor boxes where moisture intrusion is a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Do not install in boxes that do not provide proper weatherproof cover support in wet locations. Torque terminal screws to the value listed on the device label only.
