Leviton Mfg Co R12-GFWT1-0KW Gfci Outlet 20A Weather Tamper Resistant

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R12-GFWT1-0KW is a residential-grade ground fault circuit interrupter outlet rated at 20 amps with built-in self-test functionality. It is designed for locations requiring both weather resistance and tamper resistance, making it suitable for outdoor receptacle installations and wet or damp interior locations where code demands enhanced protection. The unit features a 2-pole, 3-wire configuration, monochromatic buttons, a self-grounding clip, and brass double wipe contacts and clamps for reliable electrical connection. Back and side wiring capability gives installers flexibility in rough-in and retrofit applications. A licensed electrician installs this device as part of branch circuit protection in residential settings.

This GFCI outlet is intended for residential applications where NEC requirements mandate ground fault protection, including outdoor outlets, bathrooms, kitchens, garages, crawl spaces, and unfinished basements. The weather-resistant and tamper-resistant ratings make it well suited for exterior box installations exposed to rain or moisture. The 20-amp feed-through capability allows the device to protect downstream receptacles on the same circuit. Each package contains 6 units.

Key Features

• Self-test functionality automatically verifies GFCI protection is operational without manual testing
• Weather-resistant and tamper-resistant construction for outdoor and wet-location compliance
• 20-amp feed-through rating to protect downstream devices on the same circuit
• Self-grounding clip simplifies grounding in metal box installations
• Brass double wipe contacts and clamps for durable, low-resistance connections
• Back and side wired capability supports both residential new construction and retrofit installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style residential GFCI outlet for 20-amp, 2-pole, 3-wire branch circuits requiring weather-resistant and tamper-resistant protection per NEC guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and 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. Back and side wire terminals support both push-in and screw termination methods. Follow the load and line terminal markings precisely to ensure proper GFCI feed-through protection for downstream outlets.
