Leviton GFNL1-W GFCI Tamper-Resistant Receptacle

New SmartlockPro® Self-Test GFCIs For Smarter Protection.
Industry-leading quality, professional-grade lockout action, and the slimmest profile on the market make SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCIs a smart choice in ground fault circuit interrupter protection. Engineered to meet the latest UL standard for auto-monitoring (self-test), our complete line of self- test GFCIs periodically conduct an automatic internal test to confirm that protected power is available. If the GFCI detects a problem, one or more of the following will occur:

• Power will be denied (trip with the inability to reset)
• Trip with the ability to reset, subject to the next auto-monitoring test cycle, or repeatedly trip
• Visual and/or audible indication

Faster and easier to install in any wall box because the depth is reduced, our slim Self-Test GFCIs flush mount to the wall with minimal protrusion for a sleek, finished look.
