Wiring electrical outlets includes devices rated for all residential applications in a variety of standard configurations.They are available in an array of colors in both Decora® and traditional styles.

GFCI Receptacles meet stringent UL requirements and incorporate sophisticated technology to ensure proper installation, trustworthy testing and performance.

Some brands even prevent the reset of power to the unit if a line-load reversal occurs, and professional grade lockout protection serves as an end-of-life indicator. These ingenious functions make for a ultimate GFCI safety device.
