Arc-fault protection with a visual trip indicator light helps technicians detect problems quickly and prevent arc-related fires. This protection improves safety by providing immediate, visible confirmation of a fault condition and clear feedback to maintenance staff. Application: residential living spaces and light commercial outlets where code compliance and rapid fault identification matter. Tamper-resistant design improves child safety and reduces accidental energization in occupied spaces. The integrated tamper-resistant mechanism complies with modern codes while minimizing nuisance trips caused by everyday plug-in activity. Application: new construction and retrofit projects seeking durable, code-ready receptacles in high-traffic areas. Back and side wiring offers flexible installation options, simplifying retrofit work and reducing installation time. This wiring method supports a wide range of conductor sizes (#14–10 AWG) and allows field termination without compromising performance. Application: standard wall outlets in kitchens, living rooms, and break rooms where space is tight. NEMA 5-15R configuration with 125V operation ensures compatibility with most commercial and residential plugs. The device is rated at 15A, delivering reliable power for everyday devices and small appliances. Application: general-purpose outlets in offices, retail, and residential spaces that require consistent performance. Durable brown PVC and polycarbonate face provide robust protection against impact and environmental wear while maintaining a clean appearance. The flush mounting design simplifies installation and reduces protrusion, improving safety and aesthetics in finished walls. Application: new builds and renovations where finish quality matters. Compact form factor and standard 1.37 in depth with 4.19 in height enable easier space planning in crowded switch boxes, reducing wiring congestion. Combined with a 16 lbf-inch torque rating for secure terminations, TRAF15B helps electricians avoid rework and callbacks. Application: dense electrical rooms and retrofit projects.

FAQs
TRAF15B supports both back and side wiring and accepts conductors from #14 to #10 AWG. This flexibility makes it suitable for new installations and retrofit projects, reducing wiring depth constraints and speeding up termination while maintaining a secure, code-compliant connection.
The TRAF15B carries cULus listing, confirming compliance with UL safety standards for US and Canadian markets. This certification supports code acceptance in both residential and commercial applications and helps inspectors verify proper protection against electrical hazards.
Power off the circuit, remove the existing receptacle, and prepare wiring for back or side termination. Connect #14–10 AWG conductors to the screws or push-in terminals, tighten to the recommended torque of 16 lbf-inch, then mount flush in the wall box and test for proper trip indication and receptacle operation.
Tamper-resistant (TR) design reduces the risk of foreign-object insertion, enhancing safety in occupied spaces. Combined with AFCI protection, it mitigates arc-fault fires and helps meet evolving electrical codes, delivering safer outlets for both homes and small commercial environments with fewer nuisance trips.
The TRAF15B uses a NEMA 5-15R configuration rated at 15A and 125V, compatible with standard 5-15 plugs. It fits typical residential and office outlets and is available in brown with a flush-mount design for a clean wall appearance in new installations or renovations.
