Leviton GFTR1-HGW GFCI Tamper-Resistant Receptacle, Hospital Grade, White

Leviton GFTR1-HGW GFCI Tamper-Resistant Receptacle, Hospital Grade, White

The Leviton GFTR1-HGW is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle engineered with integrated tamper-resistant shutters and finished to Hospital Grade standards in white. Leviton's model designation identifies this unit as a GFCI (GF), Tamper-Resistant (TR) device built to Hospital Grade (HG) construction requirements, making it a strong fit for environments where both ground-fault protection and child-safety compliance are required alongside the added durability demanded of healthcare and heavy-use commercial settings. As a GFCI device, the receptacle is designed to continuously monitor current flow between the hot and neutral conductors and interrupt power in the event of a ground fault, helping protect building occupants from electric shock in areas where moisture or grounding faults are a concern. The tamper-resistant shutter mechanism built into the face of the device is a standard feature intended to block foreign object insertion into the receptacle openings unless a plug is inserted evenly into both slots, supporting code requirements common in residential, educational, and commercial installations. The Hospital Grade designation reflected in the HGW suffix indicates a receptacle manufactured to a higher standard of mechanical strength, grounding reliability, and contact retention than standard-grade devices, which is why Hospital Grade receptacles are frequently specified in healthcare facilities, laboratories, and other environments where dependable, heavy-duty electrical connections are essential. The white finish allows the device to blend into standard wall and cover plate finishes common throughout commercial and institutional interiors.
