Feature → Business Impact → Application: Self-test GFCI technology continuously validates protection without requiring manual trips, reducing maintenance overhead and ensuring safer outlets in high-risk areas. This translates to higher first-pass compliance during inspections and lower incident risk for personnel. The SGF20FV’s self-test capability is particularly valuable in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and other damp environments where reliable ground-fault protection is critical for both new installs and renovations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Amperage, voltage, and receptacle configuration drive compatibility with existing circuits. The SGF20FV is a 20A, 125V GFCI receptacle in a two-pole, three-wire grounding arrangement (NEMA 5-20R), with brass contacts for durable, low-resistance connections. This combination supports common 20-amp branch circuits while maintaining compact dimensions suitable for standard wall boxes, enabling faster installation and predictable performance across residential and light commercial projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wiring method back and side wire provides installation flexibility and reduces rework. Allowable wire size #14 - 10 AWG broadens compatibility with typical home and small commercial wiring. The 16 lbf-inch torque rating secures terminals without over-tightening, while flush mounting and Ivory color simplify integration with interior finishes in busy service environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Material and finish deliver durability and decorative compatibility. Face/body material PVC Polycarbonate resists impact and wear, while the flush mounting approach minimizes protrusions for a tidy installation. Receptacle type two-pole, three-wire grounding with 5-20R configuration supports common 20A circuits in everyday building applications, reducing field failures during a busy project cycle. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Certifications and NAFTA compatibility ensure procurement and compliance efficiency. cULus Listed NOM and NAFTA compliance simplify cross-border sourcing, with ongoing protection aligned to NEC requirements for residential and light commercial outlets. This supports safer, compliant installations while enabling smoother project handoffs between facilities and electrical contractors.
