Slim design enables a compact installation footprint, reducing panel depth and wall intrusion. The business impact is faster project timelines and less enclosure modification in retrofit scenarios. In practice, electricians can place the GF15BK-WP in shallow boxes or crowded electrical spaces without sacrificing performance. Self-test capability automatically verifies the integrity of the GFCI sensing and trip function, lowering field maintenance visits and reducing downtime. This directly improves system reliability and compliance in high-traffic areas such as data centers, hospitals, and manufacturing floors. The feature is especially valuable for service contracts and long-term ROIs. Back and side wiring with #14-10 AWG offers flexible termination options, simplifying wiring in crowded panels and minimizing the need for adapters. Proper torque rating of 16 lbf-in ensures secure connections, reducing thermal issues and loose terminations. This makes initial installation faster and more dependable in new installations and upgrades. NEMA 5-15R output and 15A 125V rating align with standard plug-in loads, ensuring compatibility with common devices and tools. Wallplate included and ED Box packaging accelerate hand-off to building operations and reduce procurement steps, while remaining suitable for multi-gang installations. Certifications cULus Listed NOM reflect adherence to safety standards across regions, supporting cross-border projects. The unit comes in black and is ready for direct integration into existing color schemes or labeling schemes. Overall, the GF15BK-WP supports efficiency gains through reduced installation time, improved reliability, and easier maintenance strategies.

FAQs
The GF15BK-WP is cULus Listed and NOM certified, reflecting compliance with North American and Mexican safety standards. It is a 15A, 125V GFCI receptacle with a NEMA 5-15R configuration and a self-test feature, designed for reliable protection in commercial and light-industrial environments. These certifications support cross-border installations and code-conforming safety practices.
Power must be off before wiring. The device accepts back and side wiring for #14-10 AWG conductors. Secure each conductor to its respective terminal, tighten to the 16 lbf-in torque rating, and verify proper polarity. Use the included wallplate and, if needed, an ED Box for organized mounting. After wiring, test the self-test function to confirm operation.
Yes. The GF15BK-WP is designed for slim wallplate installations and is compatible with standard single-gang boxes. It ships with a wallplate included, and its slim profile supports tight spaces in retrofit projects. For best results, pair it with a compatible ED Box and confirm box depth to avoid enclosure interference.
The self-test feature continuously monitors the GFCI’s sensing and trip circuitry, enabling immediate detection of degradation without manual testing. This reduces unexpected trips and maintenance visits, improving uptime in critical areas such as offices and manufacturing zones. Over time, it lowers operational risk and supports compliance with safety programs and audits.
Retrofitting with the GF15BK-WP offers space-saving installation, faster wiring due to dual-entry (back and side) conductors, and an included wallplate that reduces accessory costs. The slim design minimizes enclosure footprint, facilitating more outlets per box and quicker project completion. The combination of reliability from self-test and standard NEMA 5-15R compatibility supports lower maintenance costs and improved downtime metrics.
