Leviton Telcom GFTR1-HFE Self-test Gfci Outlet

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM GFTR1-HFE is a self-testing ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet rated 5-15R for standard 15-amp, 125-volt receptacle applications. This device features tamper-resistant (TR) shutters that block foreign object insertion and meets hospital-grade construction standards, making it suitable for demanding installation environments. The built-in self-test function automatically monitors GFCI protection and alerts the user if the device has lost its ability to trip, eliminating the need for manual button testing to confirm operability. Licensed electricians install this outlet as a code-compliant replacement or new installation in wet, damp, or high-safety locations.

This GFCI outlet is used in residential and commercial electrical installations where NEC-required ground fault protection is mandated, such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, outdoor locations, and anywhere hospital-grade or tamper-resistant receptacles are specified. The 5-15R configuration accepts standard two- and three-prong plugs. Its hospital-grade rating makes it appropriate for healthcare facilities and other environments requiring elevated device durability and reliability standards.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes.
