Leviton GFCI Outlet with Audible Alarm, 20 Amp, Self Test, Tamper-Resistant with LED Indicator Light, Great for Refrigerators in Garages, GFTA2-W, White

I’m a 70 yr old woman and no problem installing this. The directions are clear and it won’t let you install incorrectly. I did at first but the directions told me what I did wrong. It’s fail proof so no worries, the green light shows it is working and almost bright enough for night lite.

Works as expected. Easy install.

The name speaks for itself. The product was easy to install directions are very understandable and easy to follow if you didn't understand electrical wiring. Price was reasonable product came with no defects. Would recommend this product to anyone even for a first timer trying to do it himself just remember to turn off the electric.

You need to pay attention when removing the old outlet and installing the new one as the "line" connection and "load" connection was opposite.

This is a great 20A GFCI receptacle to use for replacing old and warn out GFCI receptacles in your home. I used these to replace two in my kitchen recently and they work great. Over time (my old ones lasted about 15 years), GFCI receptacles need to be replaced in order to work correctly. Otherwise, they will pop their breaker on a regular basis until they're replaced. This unit is very basic and rather easy to install if you know what you're doing. Keep in mind that you have to turn off the electricity at the breaker panel in your home before rewiring one of these. Otherwise it could be fatal.

Initially had the wiring backwards, were connected the line wires to the load terminals, and the load wires to the line terminals. Didn’t work. Watching the video helped to reverse the wires, then it worked like a charm.The most challenging part is determining the two white wires, which of them is the load and which is the line. One of the black wires is the hot/line wire, it’s easy to test that with a voltage tester, and the other black is going to be the load wire. One black wire is the hot wire, one black wire is the load wire. There also two white wires. One of them is the load wire and the other one is the line wire that is coming from the other receptacle. In my case the other receptacle (regular outlet receptacles) is located in the backyard and this GFCI receptacle is located in the garage. Every time was raining, the GFCI receptacle was tripping. So I end up replacing both, since both of them already served for 13 years. But only the outside receptacle was bad. But with the installation of the new receptacle I added an additional waterproof cover.If you can see the white wires end inside the outlet box, the load wire usually is bundled up with the other white neutral/load wires. But if you can’t see the end of the white wire, most likely that’s the line wire coming from the other receptacle.Even if you do make the connection wrong, just reverse the white wires and that should correct the connection. Assuming that you already have identified the two black wires, which one of them is the hot wire and the other one is the load wire.In my application, there are of 4 wires plus the ground bare copper wire.1) Two wires are the load wires (one is white and one is black)2) Two wires are Line wires (one is white and one is black)3) Two “line wires” connects to the “line terminals”, and “two load” wires connect to the “load terminals”.As I mentioned, once you have identified which white wire is the line wire that is coming from the other receptacle, the other white wire is going to be the load wire. And in most cases the load wire is going to be bundled up with the other white wires in the outlet electrical box, connected with a short piece of white wire. If you can see this short white wire, then you should know that is the load wire to be connected to the load terminal. Both white wires connect to the chrome terminal screws and both black wires connect to the brass terminal screws. However one black wire is the hot wire, the other black wire is the load wire. Likewise one white wire is the Line wire and the other white wire is the load wire.Before the wiring, the white wires are the neutral wires and the black wires are the hot/line wire and a load wire. Also in a different application, the black load and white load wires can be referred to as the traveler wires, since they are coming from the other outlet. Mostly that applies to the 2, 3, 4 way light switches installation.Don’t get electrified! Turn off the power at the switch breaker before start any electrical work!

Before you install this outlet (assuming you’re doing it yourself), I highly recommend you search YouTube for this exact title:>>>>> “How to Install a GFCI Outlet, AFCI and Dual AFCI/GFCI Outlet | Leviton”Leviton produced a slick, informative, step-by-step, seven minute video that’ll make your work much easier and quicker.Leviton advises in the video that if you have more than 5 wires in a standard outlet box, then this 20 amp outlet might not fit for you (or else call an electrician). It’s a large outlet with a width of 1.69” and depth of 1.38”. I live in an older (1950s era) home, and it was a tight fit with four wires and two connectors.The outlet comes from the factory already tripped, meaning that after you install it and turn the power back on the outlet produces no power. You need to press the Reset button to turn on the power at the outlet. This will only work if you’ve correctly installed it. If you’ve correctly installed it, you’ll see a green indicator light.I purchased the brown-colored outlet. It is very dark brown. It fades nicely into my dark wood paneling (except for that very bright green light).The cover plate that I received with it has color-coordinated top and bottom screws. It’s not the screwless type of plate that was shown in the product photo on the day I purchased it.

High quality receptacles. These are easy to use and are heavy duty! I would definitely recommend them.

Perfect - Highly recommended

Save money for both AFCI and GFCI

Added 2 of 8 gang boxes and one 2 gang metal enclosure near the panel, and it passed the local inspection.I use Homeline Square D panels, and if I used circuit breaker integrated AFCIs, then I would have ended up with $650 CAD since CHOM AFCI costs about 65$ per each. Also nice how it covers the 12 AWG wiring as well. Saved about 400$ thanks to these costing 22$ per each!

Muy buenos. Es importante la seguridad de lsas personas y los equipos que funcionan con electricidad. Por ello, en toda instalación eléctrica residencial, industrial y comercial; debieran contener enchufes AFCI y GFCI.

Perfect!!!
