Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
Complies with all NEC and OSHA construction site regulations.
When plugged in or after a power outage, it automatically resets to ON mode.
If the GFCI trips, the power is interrupted, or the GFCI is unplugged, the power indicator lamp turns off.
If the neutral conductor on the line side is opened, Open-Neutral Protection trips the GFCI, ensuring that the GFCI does not have a live hot leg.
Weather resistant SJTW cable has a polycarbonate body that is ultrasonically welded for long service life and excellent resistance to harsh weather.
The GFCI module is weatherproof and outdoor rated.

Questions & Answers

The blades on the plug are said to be vertical by one person. According to another, one of the plug's blades is horizontal. ?

There are two vertical and one round connectors on the 15Amp. This is your typical plug. br>It's the 20Amp, which has one vertical and one horizontal, as well as a single round.

I'm replacing a two-prong gfci plug. Will there be any issues if I use the three prong?

It shouldn't be a problem because the one you had previously had the ground removed, so it shouldn't be an issue. The safest products for outdoor use are Gfci receptacles.

On the unit, the pilot light is not working. The GFCI function is functional, but the "power Indicator lamp" does not illuminate. I tried it both with and without a load. Is this a flaw? Does it matter if the GFCI works (the test passes)?

It is defective, in my opinion, but that is beside the point. I've dealt with them before with a non-alcoholic beverage. Although you may have seen a working light before, depending on your application, it can be inconvenient or even dangerous.

Repaired a Hot Springs Jetsetter Spa for a fraction of the cost, and replaced the GFIC on a new in 2014 Hot Springs Jetsetter Spa
5/5

In two days, I received it. The part number is the same as the original. Because all three wires are short, it's a little difficult to get them all into their slots at the same time; thus, only a three-star assembly rating. I plugged it in and started playing! A service call plus the part from Hot Springs would have cost around $200, and I'm not sure how long I would have had to wait. They advise owners to contact them for service because they want to test all of the components, including the heater. It was far less expensive to spend $20 on a diagnostic tool for this part, which was most likely the failed part, than to call for service. You'll appreciate the instructions, which are available in three languages: English, as well as, I believe, French and Spanish!.

They're doomed after six months
3/5

a period of twelve months I wouldn't recommend this GFCI plug if you're looking for one for a 110v hot tub. We used them on our Softub hot tubs, and they only lasted about six months. We keep them out of direct sunlight and the rain for a year before they fail. We ultimately decided on this heavy-duty, outdoor-rated inline GFCI adapter. The GFCI section is extremely durable and well constructed, and it comes with a three-year warranty. We've had ours for over a year and have never had a problem with it, unlike the Levitons, which only lasted a few months.

We all have GFCI outlets near all sinks, bath tubs, and other water sources, but we don't have them near the outlets we use for all of the power in our aquariums
5/5

Consider all of the items in your tank that have 120 volt cords running directly into the water; Install a GFCI outlet in the wall or use this item to plug into any standard unprotected outlet to keep your heater, power heads, and filters safe. It's important to note that you'll need to connect this to a female plug or, as I did, a power strip. I removed the male plug from the power strip and connected it to this GFCI outlet. BE SAFE!.

EDITED After a month, it died
5/5

EDITbr>I'm updating this one-star review because the power cord to which this plug was connected recently showed signs of wear. I assumed the problem was with the plug, but it could have been a short that day. I threw the plug away, so I can't say for sure, but I'm going to give it a 5. br>br>For a few weeks, my unit worked fine, but then the test button stopped working.

It self- resets - so that I don't lose my heat tapes when the power goes out I don't have a GFCI in my crawlspace, so I rely on heat tapes and fans to stay warm in what can be a damp environment
5/5

I wanted a GFCI for safety reasons, but the location is inconvenient for installing a new outlet, and my plug-in adapter isn't compatible with the GFCI. When the power was turned off, the GFCI in the tool did not reset. This device can be reset, and the fans and heat-generating elements can be turned back on. The tapes continue to function normally - in a secure manner.

For my Softub, I need the correct GFCI cord end
5/5

On the cord end of my Softub 300, there was an older Leviton GFCI that had begun to fail over time. The issue was that the plug's blades were getting extremely hot while in use due to internal resistance (cleaning the blades didn't help - The problem was caused by a malfunction within the unit). br>br>This unit is the current replacement for my Softub (15A unit, both blades in the same direction, for STW power cord), and it's a lot less expensive than buying it directly from the Softub dealer. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative There is a cheaper Leviton 15A unit available, but it isn't compatible with the STW sized power cord that I use on my Softub - Apart from the fact that it isn't rated for it, it won't fit. Advantages: br>br>
- GFCI cord end 15A direct replacement for my Softub (blades parallel to each other, STW power cord)br>- Rainproof (as is the case with the original)br>- a unit that is smaller than the originalbr>- came with everything I needed for my sized power cordbr>br>Now that it's working, the blades on the plug are nice and cool, just like they should be. It was repaired for a quarter of the cost of buying it from a Softub dealer.

It really works
5/5

This is a well-made, high-quality product that is simple to set up. It really works. Many strong-willed individuals This type of product can be found on the cable of washers. are abused in some way This works perfectly as a stand-in. Keep in mind the fact that you have a lot of power. Because the lug on the end is not made by the washer maker, there is no need to replace it. This is a fantastic choice.

My Rug Doctor will love it! This was purchased to replace a Rug Doctor rug
5/5

I wasn't sure if the plug was the issue, but it seemed likely because the unit would turn on and off when I wiggled the plug in the outlet. I dismantled the old plug and found it to be in good working order, so I decided to try this. It came out perfectly, and it only took about 20 minutes to make. 30 minutes to remove the old one and replace it with the new one using the enclosed instructions. There were a couple of parts included with the kit that had different sizes - which had exactly what I was looking for. I got it set up, plugged it in, and it worked immediately. My Rug Doctor has begun to hum once more. I will admit that I saw a few other similar devices and was tempted to purchase one of them - One of the same brand names that came with the Rug Doctor was also included. I went with this one because it is a well-known brand. You get what you pay for by spending a few extra dollars. I would strongly suggest it.
