GFCI Outlet
Width 3″Depth 1″Height 4.5″Shape rectangle
Overview
A GFCI outlet is a safety receptacle that cuts power instantly if it senses a ground fault, required near water. It documents the protected outlets that code calls for in wet areas of your plan.
Sizing & placement
The 3-by-4.5-inch plate sits 1 inch off the wall and is mounted at 42 inches, higher than a standard outlet so it clears countertops and backsplashes near sinks. Place it along counters and basins in wet rooms.
Where it works
Belongs in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and garages; any style.
