Description

Product Overview

The ANKO GFCI Outlet 20 Amp is engineered to combine safety, durability, and convenience in a single‑gang receptacle that meets rigorous UL standards. Constructed from high‑impact thermoplastic and a copper internal frame, the outlet resists corrosion, UV exposure, and temperature extremes, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. A built‑in LED indicator provides a clear visual cue of the outlet’s status, while the tamper‑resistant shutters prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects, protecting children and pets. The unit is rated for 125 V, 20 A, and includes a weather‑resistant housing that maintains performance even in damp or dusty conditions. Packaged with matching decor wall plates and stainless‑steel screws, the product offers a complete solution that integrates seamlessly with existing décor.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this GFCI outlet can be installed in residential kitchens, bathrooms, garages, workshops, and outdoor patios. Its weather‑resistant rating allows safe deployment under covered decks, poolside enclosures, and garden sheds, while the tamper‑resistant feature makes it ideal for family homes, daycare centers, and any setting where children may be present. Electricians and DIY enthusiasts alike will appreciate the straightforward wall‑mount installation: simply attach the outlet to a standard electrical box, secure the supplied wall plates, and tighten the included screws. The LED status light simplifies troubleshooting, indicating whether the circuit is live, tripped, or needs resetting, which reduces downtime and enhances user confidence.

FAQ

What does the LED indicator show?

The LED indicator is a built‑in status light that glows green when the outlet is powered and functioning correctly. If the GFCI trips, the LED will turn amber, alerting you that the circuit has been interrupted and needs to be reset. This visual cue helps users quickly identify whether the outlet is live, tripped, or requires attention, reducing the need for separate testing devices.

Can this outlet be used outdoors?

Yes. The outlet’s weather‑resistant rating, combined with UV‑stabilized housing, makes it suitable for protected outdoor locations such as covered decks, patios, garages, and garden sheds. It is designed to resist moisture, dust, and temperature extremes, ensuring reliable operation in environments where standard indoor‑only GFCI outlets would fail.

Is the tamper‑resistant feature compliant with NEC requirements?

Absolutely. The tamper‑resistant shutters meet the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for receptacles installed in residential settings where children are present. The shutters automatically close when no plug is inserted, preventing the insertion of foreign objects while still allowing standard plugs to engage fully when needed.

How does installation differ from a standard outlet?

Installation follows the same basic steps as a standard single‑gang outlet. After turning off power at the breaker, connect the hot, neutral, and ground wires to the appropriate terminals, secure the outlet to the electrical box, and attach the supplied decor wall plate using the included screws. The only additional step is to verify the LED indicator functions after power is restored, ensuring the GFCI is ready for use.

What warranty and support does ANKO provide?

ANKO offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures. If you encounter any issues during installation or operation, the company’s customer support team is available via phone and email to provide troubleshooting assistance, replacement parts, or guidance on proper usage. This support underscores ANKO’s dedication to product reliability and customer satisfaction.
