LEVITON GFI

Leviton is a privately held manufacturer of electrical wiring devices and network solutions, founded in 1906 and headquartered in Melville, New York. The company produces a broad range of products including switches, receptacles, dimmers, occupancy sensors, and ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). Within the Leviton GFI line, the focus is on GFCI receptacles designed to provide personnel protection by interrupting power when a ground fault is detected. These devices are available in various configurations, grades, and colors to suit different installation requirements. 3G Electric supplies Leviton GFI general purpose receptacles, with 69 SKUs currently available. The product family includes decorator duplex receptacles in 15 A and 20 A ratings, at 125 V AC, with NEMA 5-15 or 5-20 configurations. Both standard and hospital-grade versions are offered. Hospital-grade models meet stricter performance criteria for use in healthcare facilities and other critical environments. The receptacles come in a range of colors including ivory, white, gray, brown, black, and red, allowing for color-coding or aesthetic matching. They are available in specification-grade and general-purpose grades. The GFCI mechanism is designed to trip when a ground fault as low as 4-6 mA is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock. Many models feature a feed-through design, allowing downstream receptacles to be protected from a single GFCI device. The devices are constructed with thermoplastic faces and bodies, and some models include tamper-resistant shutters to prevent insertion of foreign objects. Leviton GFI receptacles are typically used in residential, commercial, and institutional settings where electrical equipment may be exposed to moisture or where personnel protection is required. 3G Electric supports this line by providing access to the full range of Leviton GFI receptacles, along with datasheets and logistics support. As a distributor, 3G Electric interprets customer demand and delivers genuine OEM parts across multiple industries. The company serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require reliable electrical components for their operations. With global shipping capabilities, 3G Electric ensures that Leviton GFI receptacles are available to customers worldwide, backed by technical documentation and supply chain support.

Common Applications

  • Healthcare facilities — Leviton GFI hospital-grade receptacles (e.g., GFTR2-HGI) for patient care areas requiring durable, reliable ground-fault protection.
  • Commercial kitchens — Leviton GFI 20 A receptacles (e.g., GFNT2-R) in wet or damp locations near sinks and food preparation equipment.
  • Residential bathrooms — Leviton GFI 15 A receptacles (e.g., GFNT1-E) to meet electrical code requirements for personnel protection.
  • Outdoor installations — Leviton GFI receptacles with weather-resistant covers for use in damp or wet environments.
  • Educational facilities — Leviton GFI tamper-resistant receptacles in classrooms and hallways to prevent unauthorized object insertion.
  • Industrial control panels — Leviton GFI feed-through receptacles to protect downstream equipment from ground faults.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about LEVITON GFI from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between Leviton GFI hospital-grade and standard-grade receptacles?

Leviton GFI hospital-grade receptacles are manufactured to meet stricter performance standards, including higher impact resistance and a minimum 10,000-cycle endurance rating. They are typically used in healthcare facilities where reliability is critical. Standard-grade models are suitable for general commercial and residential applications. Both provide ground-fault protection, but hospital-grade versions undergo additional testing for durability and performance under repeated use.

Are Leviton GFI receptacles available in different amperage ratings?

Yes, Leviton GFI general purpose receptacles are available in 15 A and 20 A ratings. The 15 A models use a NEMA 5-15 configuration, while the 20 A models use a NEMA 5-20 configuration. Both are rated for 125 V AC and are 2-pole, 3-wire devices. The amperage rating determines the maximum current the receptacle can handle and the plug type it accepts.

What is the trip threshold for Leviton GFI receptacles?

Leviton GFI receptacles are designed to trip when a ground fault current of approximately 4-6 milliamperes is detected. This threshold is established by UL 943 and is intended to protect personnel from electric shock. The device interrupts power to the load when a fault is sensed, and it must be manually reset after the fault is cleared. This level of protection is required in many wet or damp locations by electrical codes.

Can Leviton GFI receptacles be used to protect downstream outlets?

Many Leviton GFI receptacles feature a feed-through design, which allows them to protect downstream receptacles connected to the load terminals. When wired this way, a single GFCI device can provide ground-fault protection for multiple outlets. This is common in branch circuits where several receptacles are connected in series. The load terminals are clearly marked, and the device includes a test and reset button to verify operation.

What colors are available for Leviton GFI receptacles?

Leviton GFI receptacles are offered in a variety of colors to match different installation environments. Common colors include ivory, white, gray, brown, black, and red. The color is typically indicated by a suffix in the manufacturer part number. For example, models ending in -I are ivory, -W are white, -G are gray, -E is black, and -R is red. This allows for color-coding by circuit or matching existing decor.

Are Leviton GFI receptacles tamper-resistant?

Some Leviton GFI models include tamper-resistant shutters that prevent the insertion of foreign objects into the receptacle slots. This feature is often required by code in residential settings, particularly in areas accessible to children. Tamper-resistant receptacles are identified by a TR marking on the device or in the part number. Not all Leviton GFI receptacles are tamper-resistant; it depends on the specific model.
