Leviton says it has improved immunity to high frequency nuisance tripping and a reset and lockout feature that stops the reset if the GFCI is unable to respond or is wired wrongly. It runs an automatic self-test and has an LED indicator. Tamper-resistant shutters block objects such as keys. It is white and about 1.69 by 1.32 by 4.21 inches, and weighs about 0.31 pounds. The part number is GFTR1-W.<\/p>\n<p>Turn off the breaker and test the wires before installing, and hire a licensed electrician if you are not sure, since a wrong hookup can leave the circuit unprotected. The listing does not give the amp rating, and the model text looks like a catalog code. The warranty field only says manf. Test the outlet monthly with the test and reset buttons. Local code may require a weather-resistant version outdoors, and this page does not say it is one.<\/p>\n<h2>Best-Fit Shopper<\/h2>\n<p>This style of electrical suits shoppers who already know they need standard outlets coverage and want a Leviton option with transparent listing details.<\/p>\n<p>It is a weaker match if you need a fully custom install, a different capacity class, or a feature the hub row simply does not list.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Double-Check<\/h2>\n<p>Trade-offs are normal in standard outlets. A design that wins on portability may give up enclosed storage; a long wireless claim may assume open line-of-sight; a high load rating usually assumes even distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Our Storage Pick badge is editorial shorthand for \u201cworth considering in this category,\u201d not a guarantee for every floor plan, campsite, or property layout.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives Context<\/h2>\n<p>Against generic no-name alternatives, Leviton listings often win on clearer packaging and easier returns through Amazon \u2014 still read the live seller and fulfillment line.<\/p>\n<p>Against premium ecosystems, this unit may look simpler. That can be a feature if you want fewer apps and more straightforward hardware.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Buying Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Buy the Leviton GFCI Outlet if the hub numbers and feature set line up with your standard outlets job. Skip it if you need a capability the listing does not document.<\/p>\n<p>Use the Amazon button on this page to check the current price, stock and seller details before you buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering the Leviton GFCI Outlet?
