Installing a GFCI Outlet

Installing a GFCI Outlet

GFCIs help protect against electrical shocks. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCIs in all wet or damp locations such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages and workshops.

GFCIs should be tested monthly to ensure they are providing protection. Press the TEST button, then RESET button every month to assure proper operation. If the indicator light does not go out and come back on or if the GFCI cannot be reset, it must be replaced.

Preparation

&bull, Turn off the power before beginning your project.

&bull, Make sure the amp rating of your GFCI matches the amp rating of the wiring and breaker or fuse.

&bull, Take a picture of the wiring on the current outlet before disconnecting the wires in case you need to refer to it

later.

&bull, Have a flashlight handy.

Safety

&bull, Always turn off power to a circuit before working on it and place a note on the electrical panel to warn others
