Four Ways to Install GFCI Protection for Blade Series In-Drawer Outlets

When installing a Blade Series Outlet in an area where GFCI protection is required by code, you have four methods to ensure compliance:

Option 1 – Connect to an existing GFCI outlet

Option 2 – Wire the Blade Series Outlet in series with a GFCI outlet

Option 3 – Select a Blade Series Outlet with built-in GFCI (1514-150)

Option 4 – Plug the Blade Series Outlet into an outlet already protected by a GFCI circuit

WARNING: Electric shock hazard. When installing in kitchens or bathrooms, the Blade Series Outlet must always be plugged into a GFCI receptacle or connected to a GFCI-protected circuit for safety
