LEVITON GFI
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LEVITON GFI from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between LEVITON GFI feed-through (GFNT) and non-feed-through (GFNL) receptacles?
Feed-through models, such as the GFNT series, allow downstream outlets to be protected by the GFCI device, meaning a ground fault at a connected receptacle will trip the GFCI. Non-feed-through models, like the GFNL series, only protect the receptacle itself and do not provide downstream protection. Both types are available in 15 A and 20 A ratings at 125 V AC.
Are LEVITON GFI hospital-grade receptacles different from standard commercial-grade ones?
Yes, hospital-grade LEVITON GFI receptacles, such as the GFNL2-HGR, meet additional requirements under UL 943 and UL 498 for impact resistance, assembly integrity, and retention force. They are typically marked with a green dot and are designed for use in healthcare facilities where reliability under fault conditions is critical. They also comply with Federal Specification W-C-596.
What voltage and current ratings are available for LEVITON GFI receptacles from 3G Electric?
The LEVITON GFI receptacles stocked by 3G Electric are rated for 125 V AC, with current ratings of either 15 A (5-15 configuration) or 20 A (5-20 configuration). All models are 2-pole/3-wire devices. The specific rating is indicated in the SKU description and manufacturer part number.
Can LEVITON GFI receptacles be used in outdoor or wet locations?
Yes, LEVITON GFI receptacles are designed for use in wet or damp locations when installed with a weather-resistant cover. They provide ground fault protection as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for areas such as outdoor outlets, bathrooms, kitchens, and construction sites. The devices are UL-listed for such applications.
What color options are available for LEVITON GFI receptacles from 3G Electric?
3G Electric offers LEVITON GFI receptacles in several colors, including white, light almond, ivory, gray, brown, and red. The red variant is typically used for hospital-grade or emergency circuit identification. Color availability varies by model and amperage rating.
