ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area 15Amp GFCI on 20Amp Circuit?

No offense meant to our Canadian friends but can we use the NEC here.

A GFCI receptacle is above all else still a UL listed receptacle.

Both the NEC and UL expects and allows 15 amp duplex receptacles on 20 amp circuits.

If a 15 amp rated receptacle has a UL listing it will be listed for use on 20 amp circuits.
