Leviton Mfg Co R41-AFTR1-0KI Tamper Resistant Afci Outlet 15A

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R41-AFTR1-0KI is a SmartLockPro tamper-resistant outlet branch AFCI receptacle rated at 15 amps and 1 horsepower. It detects a wide range of potentially hazardous arc faults originating from damage in branch circuit wiring, as well as extension to branch circuits, and responds by interrupting power before an electrical fire can develop. The polycarbonate body houses monochromatic test and reset buttons for straightforward field verification. Licensed electricians install this device as a code-required arc fault protection solution in residential wiring applications. This listing covers a package of 3 receptacles.

This AFCI outlet receptacle is designed for residential branch circuits where arc fault circuit interrupter protection is required by the National Electrical Code. It supports both back-wired and side-wired termination, giving installers flexibility in outlet box configurations. The built-in tamper-resistant shutter mechanism prevents contact insertion by foreign objects, meeting NEC requirements for tamper resistance in dwelling units. Typical installation locations include bedrooms, living areas, and other rooms specified under current NEC arc fault protection mandates.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is dead with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Both back-wire and side-screw terminations are supported; follow the wiring diagram on the device label. The test and reset buttons must be exercised after installation to confirm proper AFCI operation before closing the outlet box.
