Leviton Telcom GFWT1-HG Gfci Outlet 15A 125V

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom GFWT1-HG is a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet rated at 15 amps and 125 volts. It combines tamper-resistant and weather-resistant construction in a single receptacle, making it suitable for installations where both safety features are required by code. The device monitors current flow and trips the circuit when a ground fault is detected, protecting against electrical shock. Licensed electricians install this outlet in residential and light commercial applications where NEC requirements call for GFCI protection.

This outlet is designed for locations that demand both tamper resistance and weather resistance in one unit. Typical installation scenarios include outdoor receptacles, bathrooms, kitchens, garages, crawl spaces, and unfinished basements where moisture exposure and child safety concerns are present. The dual-rated construction satisfies NEC requirements for protected locations without needing separate covers or adapters.

Key Features

• GFCI protection trips on ground fault detection to reduce shock hazard
• Tamper-resistant shutters block insertion of foreign objects
• Weather-resistant construction suits damp and wet location installations
• Rated 15 amps at 125 volts for standard branch circuit use
• Single-unit design satisfies both tamper-resistant and weather-resistant NEC requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install GFCI receptacle for standard 15-amp, 125-volt residential and light commercial branch circuits requiring tamper-resistant and weather-resistant protection.

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 branch circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Follow the line and load terminal designations on the device when wiring for downstream protection. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated amperage or voltage.
