Do not use a 15A receptacle on a 20A circuit. Think about it like this. If your circuit breaker is rated at 20A and your wiring is #12 (rated for 20A), what is stopping you from drawing 20A through your 15A receptacle? If you draw 20A through a product that's designed and rated for 15A, it will likely burn up and possibly cause a meltdown at the receptacle. The only thing a breaker does is protect the wire from melting its insulation, hence preventing shorts and fires. A GFCI receptacle does not provide ANY overcurrent protection. It detects leakage of current to ground ONLY at or after (downstream of) the GFCI receptacle itself. Think of a GFCI receptacle as "people protection". It sees that path to ground as possibly going through YOU and stops it from happening. Remember to always turn off power to the circuit before beginning your work. And I recommend a cheap GFCI tester (under $10) to make sure the receptacle is wired correctly once you're done. Be safe.
You might have to reset the GFI or you may have to recheck your wire connections. There are hot wires or line wires and Load wires which are the wire going to the next outlet.
If the receptacle has never worked since installation, it may be wired wrong.The power should be hooked to the "Line" side terminals. Also you may need to verify that the black wire is your "hot" wire and that it has not been reversed. If you are certain it is correct, have an electrician check it out. There are a number of possible problems before determining the receptacle is defective.
Says WR on it (weather resistant)
yes the gfi needs a single gang box to house it as the Taymac is only a cover and the space under the cover is for cord and plug. you can use an in wall box if you do not mind cutting open your wall or you can probably use a "on the wall" mount housing for the GFGI plug - generally a steel housing box or an outdoor rated plastic receptacle, Then the taymac cover mounts on the plug housing
is there electric at the outlet? If so short circuit it and then light should lite.
