Learning how to install a GFCI outlet can save your life. GFCI outlets are required by code in bathrooms, kitchens, and garages. But did you know you should Test and Reset them every 30 days? Don't worry if you didn't know this. The folks at Underwriters Laboratories have a new requirement that mandates all new GFCI outlets be self-testing as of the end of June 2015. Fortunately Leviton has a new GFCI called the SmartLock Pro Self-Testing GFCI. It Tests and Resets itself every 15 minutes. The green LED light on the outlet indicates if the outlet is working correctly. If the light turns Red you know the GFCI isn't working right and likely needs to be replaced. I kidnapped my electrician Bill White (just kidding) and we made several video tutorials. One of them is this one. Bill shows you how to properly wire a new GFCI and explains step-by-step what to do. How often do you get to see someone like Bill do his craft? Check out my video to watch Bill in action and get some priceless electrical tips that will help you with other projects, not just GFCI installation youtu.be/pcRiF3b36Ec If you liked this video and need more home repair help around your home you might want to subscribe to my YouTube channel by clicking this link and then the Subscribe button www.youtube.com/HomeRepairTutor Feel free to share this video with your friends either via email or on Facebook youtu.be/pcRiF3b36Ec There's nothing better than helping a friend out with a DIY video that could make their project go a lot better.
