Leviton Telcom GFTR2-HFT Gfci Outlet 20A Tamper Resistant

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM GFTR2-HFT is a 20-amp, 125-volt GFCI outlet with self-test functionality, tamper-resistant shutters, and a hospital-grade rating. It is designed for installation in locations where ground-fault circuit interrupter protection is required by code, including healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, and residential construction. The self-test feature continuously monitors the GFCI mechanism and alerts the user if protection has been compromised, eliminating the need for manual button testing. The tamper-resistant design meets current NEC requirements for receptacle protection in accessible locations. Licensed electricians and facilities maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this device.

This outlet is suited for both new construction and retrofit applications in environments that require a higher level of safety and durability. Hospital-grade construction makes it appropriate for patient care areas, laboratories, and other critical-use spaces where receptacle reliability is a priority. The 5-20R configuration accepts standard 5-15 and 5-20 plug types, making it compatible with a wide range of equipment. It is also applicable in commercial kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations where ground-fault protection is mandated by the NEC.

Installation Notes

Installation must 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 zero voltage with a meter before wiring. Follow the device wiring diagram for correct line and load terminal connections. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated amperage or voltage of the device.
