TG 20A GFCI Tamper-Resistant Outlet with Self-Test
Product description
20A Ground-Fault Protection: This receptacle is engineered to protect 20-amp circuits from ground faults, instantly cutting power when an imbalance is detected. It’s intended for higher-load locations such as kitchens, laundries, garages, utility rooms and light commercial spaces where 20A capacity is required.
Self-Test and Status LED: The outlet runs periodic self-tests to verify functionality. A dedicated LED communicates conditions: a steady green indicates correct wiring, a blinking red warns of an open neutral, and a steady or flashing red signifies that the device has tripped and needs reset. These signals help diagnose wiring faults quickly.
Reduced Nuisance Tripping: Internal anti-interference circuitry is designed to resist false trips caused by electrical noise from motors, washing machines, exhaust fans and similar loads, providing steadier protection in utility-heavy areas.
Construction and Safety Standards: The housing is molded from high-impact thermoplastic for durability. The device is rated 20A, 125V, 60Hz, is ETL listed and meets applicable NEC requirements as well as Part 15 of the FCC Rules for electromagnetic compatibility.
Tamper-Resistant and Fast Wiring: Built-in tamper-resistant shutters satisfy 2017 NEC Article 406.12 to help prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects while retaining normal plug access. Clamp-type back terminals simplify and speed installation compared with traditional screw-only methods.
What’s Included and Support: Each unit ships with a matching wall plate and is covered by a three-year product support policy for added confidence after purchase.

The unit’s self-test and LED indicators make troubleshooting easier, and the anti-noise design helps avoid unwanted trips around motors and laundry equipment. Installation is straightforward with clamp-style terminals and tamper-resistant shutters that comply with 2017 NEC 406.12. Some user

Dead unit — very frustrating
Installed it but it didn’t feed downstream despite a green light. Replaced with another brand and the issue vanished. Mine arrived DOA.

Sturdy and dependable
Easy to fit, feels robust, and the TEST/RESET buttons work reliably. Clean look and exactly what I needed for a dependable 20A GFCI.
