Questions and Answers for Leviton 15 Amp 125-Volt Duplex Self-Test SmartlockPro Tamper Resistant AFCI/GFCI Dual Function Outlet, White

A:  only if rated for wet locations

A:  In order to be approved for outdoor use the device must be marked as weather resistant (WR). This is not a weather resistant device and cannot be used outdoors.

A:  This type of protection is not required for the exterior or garage receptacles.

A:  Yes, only if you use an outdoor rated wallbox with sealed cover.

A:  Not unless they are listed for wet location. looks as though this one is not..

A:  I would not. there is no rain cover.

A:  Hi , Thank you for choosing Leviton. Yes the self test feature will still work.

A:  yes

A:  Meaning can you plug one into it, yes

A:  It should work with a properly wired fluorescent light. It is designed for use in kitchens and laundry areas where you would expect to find a variety of lighting including fluorescent, incandescent and LED. I have specifically used the Leviton AGTR-1 AFCI/GFCI dual function outlet with table lamps having compact fluorescents.

A:  You can either plug a fluorescent light, such as a shop light, into this device or you can power a fluorescent light downstream from this device.

A:  You don’t need this to operate a fluorescent light. You need a regular switch to control the light fixture.

A:  Hi , Thank you for choosing Leviton. Most cases yes however it depends on the ballast and wiring. For further assistance please call the tech line at 1-800-824-3005.

A:  Yes, however it is recommended that you preform the standard aluminum to copper upgrade at all the termination points first. Google for additional details.

A:  Only CO/ALR rated devices can be direct connected with aluminum wire and these devices are not CO/ALR rated.

A:  Hi Thank you for choosing Leviton. No, it's rated for copper or copper clad wiring only.

A:  that depends on the rating. if they are approved for use with aluminum wiring.

A:  I don't believe that Leviton model AGTR1 (arc fault/ground fault combo receptacle) is rated for use with aluminum wiring. You may need to pigtail the aluminum with copper or copper-clad wiring. If you go this route, the receptacle needs to be installed as the first outlet on the branch circuit in order to provide downstream protection. You also don't necessarily need GFCI protection for dry locations. My recommendation for aluminum wiring would be to replace the breakers in the panel with arc fault breakers. Home Depot carries a good variety of Eaton and Square D brand AFCI breakers.

A:  I think it does but not sure.

A:  Hi , Thank you for choosing Leviton. Yes the catalog number is AGTR1-T.

A:  Yes, this device comes in Light Almond, but my experience is that most who buy Light Almond later return them because they don't match their ivory devices.

A:  Yes.

A:  Power cords are not permitted to be run inside a wall cavity.

A:  No exactly sure of what you are doing. but the NEC does not allow a cord to be run inside wall or through a building structure. An extension cord cannot be used as a substitute for permanent wiring.

A:  Flexible power cords like those used to connect TV sets are not approved as permanent wiring and there fore not allowed to be installed inside wall cavities or run through walls or floors. It has nothing to do with the protection on the wiring.

A:  Yes it does. See packaging spec's. for confirmation.

A:  That is a good question. I do not have the answer to that. You would have to read the paperwork that comes with it. again good question.

A:  Yes, this device provides combination AFCI protection (both series and parallel).

A:  Yes, all Leviton AFCIs are combination-type, which means the unit can detect both series and parallel arcing.

A:  Yes. It is Series and Parrallel.

A:  They have been combination required (Series/Parallel Downstream, Upstream Series) for a while now, so new Leviton things like this are fully compliant with 2014/17

A:  Those boxes were pretty small so it would be a tight fit, but should fit if no more than 4 conductors are in the box. This would be a good application for a Dual Function AFCI/GFCI circuit breaker.

A:  Tight fit

A:  If you are asking about a standard metal outlet box, then it will fit unless there are a number of connectors in the box. If you are asking about a handy box, it may be too crowded. You can install a new box, right next to the breaker panel if you want, install this device in that box and connect the existing outlet circuit to this device. Then all outlets on the circuit will be protected.

A:  Probably, if you have line wires coming in and 2 load wires going out, you will have no wire nuts to connect, saving space. Wrap screws in electrical tape to eliminate shorting.

A:  Without knowing the dimensions of the box it's hard to say, but older boxes are generally shallower than more current designs. I would think the new slimmer GFCI should fit, but if there are a number of additional wires in the box, it could be difficult.

A:  maybe not in some but will in others of those years for sure.

A:  Barely, but will fit. But, it also depends on how many wires, clamps in the box, and the cubic inch capacity of the box. There are lots of different size metal boxes, and NEC rules as to fill capacity.

A:  If you are installing this on an ungrounded circuit, you need to make sure the lack of a ground is clearly labeled on the device. Stickers are included with the device for this purpose.

A:  If you're having issues with your devices, you should call Leviton's support team at 1-800-824-3005.
