Leviton R12-GFTA1-0KW 15A Gfci Receptacle Tamper Resistant

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R12-GFTA1-0KW is a 15-amp, tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle with an integrated audible self-test function. It monitors its own ground-fault protection status and emits an audible alert when power has been disconnected from the protected loads. Lighted, monochromatic test and reset buttons provide a visual status indicator. This receptacle is designed for standard residential and light commercial branch-circuit installations and is typically installed by licensed electricians during new construction or retrofit work. The tamper-resistant shutter mechanism meets NEC requirements for child protection in dwelling units.

This GFCI outlet is well suited for locations where visual inspection of the device is difficult or infrequent, including corner outlets, storage rooms, utility spaces, and other out-of-the-way areas. The audible alert removes dependence on a technician or occupant physically checking the device for trip status, making it a practical choice wherever a tripped receptacle could go unnoticed. Each unit ships with mounting screws, washers, an instruction sheet, and a self-ground clip, covering the hardware needed for a standard single-gang installation.

Key Features

• Audible self-test alert notifies when ground-fault protection has been interrupted or the device has tripped
• Tamper-resistant shutters block foreign object insertion and satisfy NEC dwelling-unit requirements
• Lighted, monochromatic test and reset buttons provide visual status at a glance
• Self-ground clip included, simplifying grounding continuity in metal box installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation GFCI receptacle for standard single-gang 15-amp branch circuits in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a non-contact tester before wiring. Follow the labeled LINE and LOAD terminals on the device for correct wiring sequence; reversing them will prevent proper GFCI protection of downstream outlets. Test the audible self-test function after installation to confirm the device is providing ground-fault protection.
