Description
Install an ivory AFCI Outlet Receptacle to help protect your home or rental property against electrical fires from arcing in either the wiring or the receptacles. This 20A Tamper-Resistant Arc-Fault Outlet is designed to identify dangerous arc-faults and interrupt power if detected to reduce the risk of electrical fires.
Arc-faults can occur inside walls, in damaged cords (including extension cords), or at loose electrical connections. When an arc fault occurs, electricity arcs across damaged wires which can lead to a fire.
