Watertight protection in a NEMA 4X enclosure minimizes field failures and protects internal components, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs for outdoor sites. This translates to fewer downtime incidents and safer power delivery to corded tools at construction trailers, remote sites, and weather-exposed work areas. The 20A rating with a #12 AWG cord and 25-foot length delivers adequate capacity for typical tools while minimizing voltage drop, enabling faster task completion and safer operation on job sites. A locking L5-20 plug secures connections in windy or dusty conditions, reducing nuisance trips and unplugging risks during transport or setup. The manual reset feature eliminates repeated nuisance trips, maintaining workflow continuity in harsh environments. Lightweight polycarbonate construction keeps weight low for technicians, improving portability and reducing fatigue on daily site use. Overall, NEC compliance and the 4X enclosure support code-adherent, durable outdoor power solutions that integrate with existing portable power distribution setups.

FAQs
For proper installation, connect to 120 V circuits using the 20A rating and the L5-20 locking plug. Ensure the outlet remains accessible and dry, avoiding exposure to direct water jets. Because the unit is portable, place it on stable ground or a cart, and keep the 25' cord within reach of active work areas to minimize tripping hazards and reduce run-time delays.
The 20A rating supports typical workshop and job-site tools without overheating, while the 25' cord minimizes voltage drop for medium-length runs. The #12 AWG conductor is sized for safety under startup current surges, and the device’s GFCI protection trips only when a ground fault is detected, reducing nuisance interruptions during routine tool operation.
Yes. The GFI12M466 uses a NEMA 4X watertight enclosure designed for outdoor and damp locations, providing ingress protection against water, dust, and corrosive exposure. Its NEC compliance further reinforces safe operation in rugged environments, making it suitable for wet sites, maintenance yards, and portable power setups.
The unit is NEC compliant and features a GFCI interrupter for detecting ground faults. It uses a locking L5-20 plug and a 120 V, 20 A configuration with a NEMA 4X enclosure, offering reliable protection in outdoor and dusty environments. Manual reset adds another layer of fault handling, ensuring the device remains safe and ready after a fault condition.
Maintenance is minimal due to a rugged polycarbonate housing and a sealed watertight enclosure, which reduces corrosion and water ingress. The protection it provides minimizes downtime and potential equipment damage from ground faults, offering a predictable return on investment through improved safety, reduced incident-related delays, and extended tool life on busy job sites.
