Leviton Telcom GFWT2-HG Gfci Outlet 20A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM GFWT2-HG is a 20-amp, 125-volt GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet designed for both tamper-resistant and weather-resistant installations. It provides ground fault protection by cutting power when it detects a current imbalance, reducing the risk of electric shock. The device is rated for outdoor and damp or wet location use, making it suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern. Licensed electricians install this receptacle as part of NEC-compliant branch circuit wiring in residential and light commercial settings.

This GFCI outlet is appropriate for 20-amp, 125-volt branch circuits in locations that require both tamper resistance and weather protection. Typical installations include outdoor receptacles, garages, bathrooms, kitchens, unfinished basements, and other areas designated by the NEC as requiring GFCI protection. The tamper-resistant shutters help prevent foreign object insertion, meeting code requirements for installations in homes with children.
