FAQ

What does the self‑test function do?

The self‑test button initiates an internal diagnostic that confirms the GFCI mechanism is ready to trip when a ground‑fault is detected. A green indicator lights when the test passes, giving instant assurance of protection.

Is this receptacle compatible with standard 15‑amp plugs?

Yes, the duplex outlets accept both 15‑amp and 20‑amp plugs, making it suitable for a wide range of medical and office equipment while still providing 20‑amp capacity when needed.

Can the unit be installed in a wet location?

Absolutely. The product is rated for wet locations and meets UL requirements for use in areas exposed to moisture, such as restroom stalls and laboratory sinks.

What warranty does Legrand offer?

Legrand provides a limited 5‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues, along with access to technical support for installation and troubleshooting.

How does the plated steel wrap strap improve longevity?

The wrap strap encases the internal contacts, shielding them from corrosive cleaning agents and physical abrasion. This design significantly extends the service life compared to standard plastic‑encased GFCIs.
