Leviton Telcom GFTR1-HG Gfci Receptacle 15A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM GFTR1-HG is a hospital grade GFCI receptacle rated at 15 amps and 125 volts. Ground fault circuit interrupter receptacles monitor current flow and trip within milliseconds when a leakage path to ground is detected, cutting power to protect personnel and equipment. The hospital grade designation indicates the device meets stricter testing standards for mechanical strength, grounding reliability, and contact integrity compared to standard commercial grade devices. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in branch circuits where both ground fault protection and hospital grade performance are required.

Hospital grade GFCI receptacles are specified for healthcare facilities, patient care areas, wet procedure rooms, and other locations where the National Electrical Code mandates both ground fault protection and hospital grade rating. This receptacle is appropriate for new construction and retrofit applications in clinical, laboratory, and medical office environments where outlet durability and reliable ground fault response are code requirements. It is also used in other critical-use installations where hospital grade construction is specified by the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• Hospital grade construction meets elevated standards for grounding reliability and contact retention
• GFCI protection trips on ground fault detection to protect personnel and connected equipment
• 15 amp, 125 volt rating suitable for standard branch circuit applications
• Sold individually, one receptacle per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or specification-grade installation device for 15 amp, 125 volt branch circuits requiring hospital grade GFCI protection.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Follow the receptacle wiring terminal markings and ensure the grounding conductor is securely landed. GFCI devices should be tested after installation using the integral test and reset buttons to confirm proper operation.
