The slim design reduces installation footprint, freeing wall space in crowded panels and enclosures, enabling more room for conduit and devices. That space savings translates to faster wiring, easier conduit routing, cleaner installations, and smoother retrofit projects across offices, labs, and service areas. Application versatility shines where tight tolerances and clean aesthetics matter, such as electrical rooms in manufacturing lines or healthcare facilities. Self-test GFCI maintains protection without routine manual checks by periodically confirming sensing accuracy and automatic test functionality. This reliability reduces on-site maintenance time, minimizes nuisance trips, and preserves regulatory compliance through automated safety verification. Application spans offices, healthcare facilities, labs, and light-industrial spaces where continuous protection is a core requirement. Back and side wiring compatibility with #14-10 AWG conductors provides flexible termination options in compact enclosures. This flexibility reduces wiring errors, speeds panel installations, and simplifies future upgrades by supporting diverse termination schemes. Application includes retrofit projects and new constructions across offices, retail, and light manufacturing where access to conductors varies. NEMA configuration 5-20R provides universal plug compatibility for common equipment and devices. This standardization reduces procurement complexity, shortens lead times, and lowers spare parts inventories across projects. Application areas include data centers, classrooms, healthcare spaces, and retail environments where reliable receptacles are essential. ED Box packaging supports straightforward mounting, protects the unit in transit, and accelerates site readiness. This approach increases first-pass install success, reduces site rework, and helps maintain project schedules under tight deadlines. Application: Construction sites and service fleets where rapid deployment and dependable performance matter for uptime. Certifications cULus Listed NOM attest to safety compliance and alignment with recognized national codes. This certification helps reduce regulatory rework, warranty claims, and non-conformances while supporting long-term reliability and customer confidence. Application: Industrial and commercial installations subject to UL, CUL, NOM requirements across building systems and electrical rooms.

FAQs
GF20W supports back and side wiring for #14-10 AWG conductors, using an ED Box packaging and a 5-20R NEMA configuration. Use a torque of 16 lbf-in to ensure a secure termination, and install in standard electrical boxes or panels. This versatility accommodates changing layouts and reduces the need for different devices on site.
GF20W is rated for 20A and 125V, using a GFCI circuit interrupter with self-test capability. The slim white receptacle accepts back and side wire terminations with #14-10 AWG conductors, features a 5-20R configuration, and employs a torque rating of 16 lbf-in. These specs support common commercial and light-industrial circuits.
Yes. GF20W is designed for 125V, 20A circuits with a NEMA 5-20R configuration, making it compatible with most commercial equipment. The self-test functionality adds reliability in high-traffic areas, and the slim design facilitates retrofit installations in tight panels or crowded enclosures without sacrificing protection or performance.
GF20W carries cULus Listed NOM certifications, signifying conformance to recognized safety standards for North American installations. This reduces the risk of code violations during inspections and supports warranty coverage by proving adherence to national electrical codes, which is critical for facilities subject to rigorous compliance requirements in commercial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.
The self-test feature minimizes routine field checks, lowering maintenance labor and reducing the likelihood of undetected faults. Combined with space savings, faster installation, and standardized 5-20R interfaces, projects finish sooner, with fewer callbacks and rework. This translates to lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime for critical spaces such as data centers and labs.
