When installed in harsh environments, water, dust, dirt, insect infestation, corrosion and cracked covers can lead to GFCI failure. P&S DuraShield™ GFCIs are expressly designed for extra durability and long service life — perfect for challenging residential and commercial areas like garages, workshops, wash down areas, kitchens, laboratories, and outdoors.
Like all P&S GFCI receptacles, DuraShield GFCIs feature advanced SafeLock™ Protection to shut off power to the receptacle if there's a ground fault, if the GFCI is miswired, or even if the GFCI fails. Each GFCI includes these innovative features and benefits:
 |
 |
Weather, dust and insect resistance |
 |
Rubber curtains — let plug blades in; keep dust, water and insects out |
 |
Integral gasket — seals receptacle, protecting critical electronic components |
 |
Oversized gasket — seals wall box opening |
 |
Exceeds UL corrosion requirements — survives 4X the required corrosion test cycles |
 |
Nickel post-plated mounting strap — resists corrosion |
 |
Weather-resistant Nylon 66 thermoplastic face — provides durability and resists cracking due to UV degradation and cold temperatures |
 |
Exceeds UL surge requirements — survives 100X the required UL 3kA/6kV voltage surge test cycles |
 |
Meets Federal Specification requirements — considered the quality standard for commercial receptacles and necessary for many government projects |
 |
All the ease-of-installation features of the 1595 GFCIs |
To comply with NEC requirements, DuraShield requires a P&S weatherproof cover when installed in wet or damp locations.
