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

A:  My question cites the NEC 2017. It was not eliminated from the code. UL has often stressed there were no breaker-device combinations listed as of last September. Leviton should address this.

A:  As far as I'm aware, UL has yet to develop/release the standard to which manufacturers can submit their products to be tested against.

A:  No special breaker is required to be matched to an ARCI receptacle to comply with the code. Any standard breaker will suffice.

A:  The protection designation is intrinsic to the design spec's of the receptical itself. A standard breaker, therefore, is the answer when theses requirements are to be met.

A:  Any manufacturer's standard single pole 15 or 20 amp breaker is fine. It's interesting to note that the NEC referenced AFCI receptacles several years before any manufacturer even had them developed and on the market.

A:  #4 That is in the process of going away, I don't know if they have issued the update, but it is out of the 2017 NEC. There is no " ULlisted" System combination circuit breaker. So use any branch circuit breaker. Most AHJ will allow you to use the 2017 NEC, even if your state has not adopted it, like CA.

A:  If you have a Dual Function AFCI/GFCI circuit breaker you don't need this device. This device should be connected to a standard single pole breaker.

A:  Connect to any circuit protection device, breaker or fuse, and it will do its job.

A:  This device acts as an AFCI/GFCI so it does not need to be put on a breaker that already provides that protection, though it certainly can be.

A:  Any standard breaker will suffice. No special breaker is required to meet code.

A:  This can be used as stand-alone or feed thru, and the overcurrent device can be a standard breaker. The NEC states where the device is placed in an individual circuit, under different circumstances. However, It can be used as a direct replacement for an existing GFCI or regular receptacle.

A:  Standard breaker.

A:  No. They only stoke it in white.

A:  yes

A:  Yes all of this type of receptacle has 'feed through' capability.

A:  The part number for the 20A model is AGTR2-W.

A:  yes

A:  Yes, but 20 amp wiring devices are rarely ever needed in a dwelling. ALL 15 amp duplex receptacles are rated for 20 amp feed-through.

A:  Yes these are available in both 15 & 20-Amp rating.

A:  Yes

A:  You can just place one of these at the home run of the circuit you want to protect, and place USB outlets everywhere else on it. You don't need to replace every individual receptacle with these. It would probably be too hard to fit USB ports on top of the AFCI/GFCI functionality of the faceplate - physically, where could you place them?

A:  No USB Different product

A:  This is not USB.

A:  I suggest installing a USB receptacle device after this device.

A:  I am not aware of this receptacle being available with USB ports.

A:  Leviton does not offer a GFCI/AFCI+USB combo device. I'm unaware of any manufacturer that does.

A:  Yes, they come in ivory, light almond, white and brown in some stores.

A:  Yes, Leviton

A:  Yes, the part number would be AGTR1-I. You'll need to reach out to Home Depot directly, in regards to availability.

A:  These receptacles are available in all of the basic colors, ivory included.

A:  These Dual Function devices were not available till the last couple of years. The other answers referencing the 2014 code change were for AFCI receptacles. The NEC did change in 2014 to allow NM cable (aka Romex) to be used for the homerun to an AFCI receptacle. That change now also applies to these newer Dual Function AFCI/GFCI devices.

A:  New construction and new circuits. Otherwise, install at the 1st outlet of the circuit used.

A:  You are correct. The other 2 answers are incorrect. Neither 2011 or 2014 NEC allowed romex. 210.12 (5) Very clear. Google it, or check with MikeHolt.com

A:  2014 NEC changes allow for Romex to be used in place of metal conduit. You can learn more at www.leviton.com/afci.

A:  That's from the 2011 NEC. The 2014 NEC permits NM cable as long as it's less than a certain distance from the panel, (50 feet, I believe? Verify that before installing, please). Of course, your local jurisdiction may still be on 2011.

A:  I see them all the time on the shelf when I actually go to HD. Mostly I buy from supply houses.

A:  The AFCI/GFCI Dual Function Receptacle should be available in Home Depot within the next few weeks.

A:  They are on the shelves now.

A:  In stock today, but not online
