GFCI Outlet ELECTECK 10-Pack 20A Outdoor WR with LED Self‑Test, White

Description

Product Overview

The ELECTECK 10‑pack of 20 A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets is engineered to provide robust electrical safety for demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Each unit meets UL listing requirements and carries a Weather‑Resistant (WR) rating, meaning the housing is constructed from UV‑stabilized polymer that resists corrosion, discoloration, and temperature extremes. The integrated LED self‑test indicator flashes briefly on power‑up and then blinks every 30 seconds to confirm that the internal circuitry is functioning correctly, giving homeowners and installers immediate visual confirmation of safety status.

Technical specifications include a 20 A current rating, a 125 V AC operating voltage, and a compact form factor that fits standard single‑gang electrical boxes. The package dimensions are 9.29 × 6.26 × 5.39 inches, weighing 4.37 lb, and each receptacle comes with a screwless wallplate that eliminates exposed screws for a sleek, tamper‑resistant finish. The outlets support both back‑wire and side‑wire configurations, allowing flexible installation in new construction or retrofit projects. The product model number YGB‑095WR is referenced in the manufacturer’s documentation for easy ordering of replacement parts.

Installation is straightforward: the terminals accept 12‑ or 14‑gauge copper conductors, and the included instructions guide users through proper grounding, line‑load identification, and the optional use of a dedicated GFCI breaker. The design incorporates spring‑loaded shutters that close off the receptacle openings when no plug is inserted, further enhancing child‑proof safety. Because the units are UL listed, they comply with NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements for GFCI protection in wet locations, kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor circuits.

Usage

These GFCI outlets excel in outdoor applications where exposure to moisture, dust, and UV radiation is common. Ideal installation sites include garden sheds, patio awnings, poolside power strips, workshop benches, and RV charging stations. The weather‑proof housing ensures that the internal electronics remain dry, while the self‑test LED provides ongoing assurance that the device will trip in the event of a ground fault, protecting users from electric shock.

Inside the home, the same units are perfectly suited for high‑risk areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and garages. The 20 A rating supports heavy‑duty appliances like power tools, air compressors, and electric vehicle chargers, delivering reliable protection without nuisance tripping. The tamper‑resistant shutters meet NEC requirements for receptacles in locations accessible to children, making these outlets a safe choice for family homes.

Because the outlets are UL listed and meet the NEC’s GFCI requirements, they can be used by professional electricians as well as competent DIY enthusiasts. The clear LED status indicator reduces the need for manual testing, while the screwless wallplate simplifies the final aesthetic finish, eliminating unsightly screw heads and reducing the risk of accidental loosening over time.

FAQ

What does the LED self‑test indicator mean?

The LED flashes briefly when power is applied and then blinks every 30 seconds. A flashing LED confirms that the internal circuitry is functioning correctly; if the LED stays solid on, the device has failed the self‑test and should be replaced.

Can these outlets be used indoors?

Yes. Although they are rated WR for outdoor durability, they meet all UL and NEC requirements for indoor installations in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and other wet‑location areas.

How do I install the screwless wallplate?

The wallplate snaps onto the outlet without the need for additional screws. Simply align the plate with the outlet’s mounting tabs, press firmly until it clicks into place, and verify that the LED remains visible.

Are these GFCI outlets compatible with existing wiring?

They are designed for standard 12‑ or 14‑gauge copper conductors and can be wired using either back‑wire or side‑wire methods. Follow the included wiring diagram to correctly identify line and load connections.

What warranty does ELECTECK provide?

All ELECTECK GFCI outlets come with a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact our support team with the product serial number for assistance or replacement.
