Safety Devices
When it comes to outdoor GFCI protection, it’s smart to go with a pro, SmartlockPro Weather-Resistant (WR) GFCI Receptacles. The new GFCIs offer all the advantages of Leviton’s popular brand, plus they are UL Listed weather resistant to comply with Section 406.8 of the 2008 NEC Code. Built with UV stabilized engineering thermoplastic for high cold impact resistance, the WR GFCI devices feature stainless steel
straps and mounting screws, as well as conformally coated PC board to protect critical components from moisture. For an even higher level of safety, the GFCIs are available in tamperresistant (TR) versions that help protect children from the danger of inserting foreign objects into receptacles. Rain or
shine, Leviton offers products to meet all your outdoor needs, including a selection of raintight-while-in-use covers.
Important: Covers must be used with WR GFCI receptacles in
damp or wet locations per Section 406.8 of the NEC Code.
Applications:
Section 406.8 of the 2008 NEC® Code mandates all non-locking 15A and 20A receptacles in damp or wet locations should be listed weather resistant.
