Description
Install AFCI outlets by Leviton to help protect your home against electrical fires from arcing in wiring and receptacles. 20A Tamper-Resistant Arc Fault Outlets are specifically designed to identify dangerous arc-faults to reduce the risk of electrical fires.
Arc-faults can occur within walls, within damaged appliance cords or extension cords, or at loose electrical connections. Cords can become damaged when pinched by furniture or pulled from from sockets incorrectly. This may result in electricity arcing across damaged wires and lead to fires in homes or apartments.
