Leviton GFCI Outlet, 15 Amp, Self Test, Non Tamper-Resistant with LED Indicator Light, Protection from Electric Shock and Electrocution, GFNT1, Brown

Well, Leviton is the brand I usually go for and I love their clamping system for wiring the device. I purchased two of these for such a great price. However, I wired one GFCI with two regular receptacles going downstream that are "GFCI protect outlets".Here is my complain, I used my tester and all three devices in the circuit says "Correct" when I test them for proper wiring. I used my meter and all three give me 120v. So all is good so far. However, when I test and "reset" the GFCI, the LED light flashes ONCE and the LED light states blank. NO GREEN LIGHT.Has anyone else had this issue?So Wiring is correct, all receiving 120v but the LED status light blinks ONCE at reset and is OFF BUT the devices are all working properly.Defective?UPDATE: 8/23/17: I spoke with a tech support representative last night at Leviton and I questioned the above statement. Per the tech, Leviton has "significantly" reduced the brightness of the LED status light and he recommended looking at the status light at NIGHT TIME and I did just that. The light is faintly green but it is functional and operating properly. Customers were complaining about the LED status light being TOO bright in their homes that was more of a distraction while siting in a darken room. Makes sense.Also, the ONE BLINK of red status light the moment you reset the GFCI is NORMAL according to the representative that I spoke to.Overall, I am happy with my purchase! Thanks!

I noticed that many complain here about the green light coming on, but the GFCI still not working. The problem is that many people just copy the cable locations using the old GFCI as reference. The location of the Line (Hot) input may be different on this unit compared with the old one. Make sure you identify the Line (Hot) wire in the wall and connect it to the Line Hot connector. Then connect the White wire of the same pair to the Line White side. If you have 2 pairs of wires, meaning one Hot and the other for the load (remote outlet being fed and protected by the GFCI), then connect the second (not hot pair) to the Load part of the GFCI, Black wire to Load Hot and White wire to Load White.

To preface, I have installed/replaced at least a few GFCI outlets in my life with success, and this is the first time I came across one that was wired the opposite of all the other GFCI outlets I have worked with.Every other time I replaced one, I simply pulled the old one out, and went around the connectors, detaching wires from the old one, and attaching them to the new one, one by one, to make sure I didn't mix up any wires, and to make sure they got wired to the correct connectors (I'm not an electrician, so I just go based off of looks for the most part, and a little common sense).Well this particular Leviton GFCI took me 3 tries to get right, and I only discovered the issue after looking at the wiring diagram, looking at the back of the Leviton GFCI, and then cross referencing with the back of the two older GFCI's I had laying around (I originally replaced the old 20amp with a new 15amp which was the only one at my local store, and then ordered this one to replace the 15 amp since it's a 20amp circuit), and this is what I discovered:The standard wiring (or what I am calling standard based off of majority vote from every GFCI I have purchased/pulled from walls), if you are looking at the back side of the GFCI, is as follows:At the top you have your two LOAD charges, black/live connects to the left, and white connects to the rightAt the bottom the have your two LINE charges, again with black/live on the left, and white on the rightAnd finally on the very bottom/underside you have your ground wire connection pointEvery GFCI outlet I have experience was wired as such, and this is how the Leviton GFCI differs:At the top, instead of 2 load charges, the two LINE connections are on the top this time, still with black/live on the left, and white on the rightAt the bottom you now have two LOAD CHARGE connections instead of the 2 line connections, and again still black/live on the left and white on the rightAnd then still the ground connector is on the very bottom/undersideTo summarize: normally GFCI outlets have the LINE connections at the bottom near the ground connection, and the LOAD up top, but these Leviton GFCI outlets have the LOAD connections at the bottom with the ground, and the LINE up top.This means if you wire the outlet exactly like the one that was in your wall it will not work. you have to flip your black wires, and flip your white wiresFor me 2 black were on top and 1 black on bottom, and 2 white on top 1 white on bottom, and had to change it to 1 black on top and 2 black on bottom, and 1 white on top and 2 white on bottom)Other than that, the GFCI works as it should and solved the electrical issues I was having in this room.Just, you know, look at the thing before you put it in..

The youtube video on how to install gives much better instructions than the included pamphlet.When tiling my kitchen, the metal trowel got too close to the wires and the outlet tripped preventing shock, couldn't be happier with my purchase!Love how the reset and test buttons are the same colour as the rest of the outlet, much sleeker design.

Gran opción! Bonito, de buen precio, llega en tiempo y es muy fácil de instalar. Sólo ojo! El color negro es muy delicado. La tapa es brillante y se raya fácil. Para los que son obsesivos, mejor comprendo en blanco.

El detalle que encontré en esta última adquisición fue que un tornillo se partió en dos y aun llevaba medio tornillo introducido, todo lo demás muy bien.

Bought a used one from amazon warehousedeals.Wired it up properly between load and line wires.Got a green status light, outlet will not work.It was likely returned because it was already broken :-(

Practico y funcional, fácil de instalar, he comprado 4 desde hace ya 3 años y todos funcionan al 100, me gusta que sean fáciles de instalar
