Eaton GFI23M266 GFCI - Watertight 30A, L6-30, NEMA 4X
Part Number: GFI23M266
Quick Summary
GFCI protection for portable power is essential on job sites for protecting equipment and personnel. Wet environments, long extension runs, and limited access outlets create shock risk and compliance headaches. This Eaton unit is NEC compliant and features a NEMA 4X watertight housing with a locking plug. By delivering reliable ground-fault protection, it reduces downtime while enabling quick, code-compliant power availability for temporary projects. Designed for contractors and maintenance teams, it pairs with a 6' #12 AWG cord for flexible deployment in rugged environments. Its compact form, locking plug design, and weather-resistant shell help reduce callouts and extend service life, even when used with generators or remote feeders.

Watertight housing delivers enhanced protection against water, dust, and weather, reducing nuisance fault trips and field repairs; the business impact is improved uptime and compliance with on-site safety standards, making it ideal for outdoor construction and industrial yards where exposure to the elements is common. In practice, the 30A, 240V configuration with an L6-30 plug supports heavier tools and temporary feeders, enabling fewer parallel circuits and streamlined power distribution for welding, compressors, and other high-demand equipment. The 6' #12 AWG cord provides flexible deployment options, minimizing the need for additional extensions and lowering wiring complexity for quick setup on busy sites. A locking plug prevents unintentional disconnections in windy or high-traffic environments, improving reliability in outdoor events and remote maintenance projects. Manual reset and NEC compliance together ensure safe restarts after faults and code-conforming operation, reducing compliance risk and improving audit readiness. The rugged polycarbonate housing, combined with NEMA 4X protection, is well-suited for harsh environments, supporting long service life and predictable performance on rugged job sites. This portable GFCI is compatible with common temporary power arrangements and generators, enabling faster mobilization and reducing overall project downtime.

FAQs
Power should be off during installation. Connect the locking L6-30 plug to a matching L6-30 outlet, ensuring the connection is secure and the cord is not strained. After wiring, use the unit’s test/reset cycle to verify proper operation and ensure voltage is being interrupted correctly on fault conditions. Verify NEC compliance and keep the device within its rated environment for best performance.
The unit is rated for 30A at 240V with a #12 AWG cord and a 6-foot cord length. It uses a locking L6-30 plug, supports a NEMA 4X enclosure, and employs a manual reset. These specs enable high-demand tool applications while maintaining ground-fault protection on outdoor or wet job sites.
Yes. The GFI23M266 features NEMA 4X watertight protection and NEC compliance, designed for rugged exterior use. It tolerates rain, dust, and splash exposures typical of construction yards, while maintaining safe power distribution for heavy equipment and temporary circuits.
The device is NEC compliant and rated for a NEMA 4X environment with a locking plug, ensuring safety and durability in wet and dusty conditions. The combination supports regulatory alignment for field installations and reduces the risk of noncompliance penalties during audits.
Routine visual inspections and testing of the GFCI function (including the reset/test cycle) are recommended to maintain reliability. The rugged housing and corrosion-resistant components reduce wear and exposure-related failures, lowering field service calls and downtime while extending service life in harsh environments.
