Problem with GFCI Blankface 7590

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:20:39 GMT

I am installinga bank of 8 GFCI blank gFCI receptacles at the home run end of an underground conduit. None of them pass current to the load. I swapped out one of them with a normal GFCI receptacle and it worked just fine. I checked the load/line wiring three times to be sure I was not drunk, and it's fine. Reset test does nothing. The line terminals are cold. Any thoughts????????

T7299 - before installation

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:30:21 GMT

I just purchased a combination switch - GFCI receptacle (17339-038 ZR 5). I see that some sort of plastic is blocking the receptacle holes (where a plug's prongs would go). Is that some sort of packing plastic that I need to remove, or will that plastic be automatically shifted out of place when the unit is installed?

I don't see anything in the instructions about this.

GFCI 7599W Question?

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:20:25 GMT

The 7599W GFCI works with just the line cables attached, but not when the two load lines (2 white and 2 black) are attached either both in the backwire holes or pigtailed and into one backwire hole each. There is a bathroom switch before the outlet and a bathroom outlet and several switches and outlets after the GFCI outlet. Will this outlet work in this configuration and does anyone have suggestions on how to wire this correctly? There are 3 black, 3 white and 1 bare copper ground wire coming into the box.

T7299-T wiring for outlet constantly on?

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 23:19:34 GMT

How can the T7299-T be wired so that the outlet is constantly on? My intent was to put a night light in the outlet - but it makes no sense if the switch that turns the room light out also turns the night light off.

7599 gfci problems

Installed this. Green light is on. Test and reset won't reset. No power. Verified proper wiring - line vs load. Only using gfci, no downstream load receptacles. Could this be faulty receptacle?

Replacing outdoor outlets with GFCI weather resistant

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 04:11:47 GMT

Currently my outdoor outlets are not GFCI, but are downstream of ones in the house. If I replace them with GFCI weather resistant ones is that overkill?

GFCI/Switch Combo plus switch

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:50:28 GMT

I just purchased a 7729 GFCI combo switch/outlet. I'm replacing a switch/outlet combo and an additional switch (these are right new to eachother in the box). I'm having issues making everything work. This is what I have:

- no ground, just black and white

- 4 different set of wires coming into the box

1. power from box

2. wire to bathroom fan (this is the switch on the switch/outlet combo currently)

3. wire to lights

4. wire to switch in dining room lights

So i have power to the GFCI/Switch combo (this runs the bathroom fan and outlet) but can't seem to get power to the other switch (bathroom lighting and to the dining room lighting). Any help would be great, maybe a diagram can be emailed. If you need addtional information, please let me know.

Thanks,

Brandon

Need some help

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:41:04 GMT

Okay, so i purchased the 7729 combo switch. i'm replacing a reg. switch/outlet combo and a light switch. Switch/outlet combe was for bathroom vent fan and outlet. light switch for the lights. In my box, i have 4 dif lines coming in.

1. power from box

2. wire for fan

3.wire to lights

4. wire that supplies power to my dining room light.

I'm getting comfused because there are so many wires and every combo i've tried, i still can't supply power to my fan, switch or dining room light. GFCI combo has power for the outlet. all the lines are black and white, no ground wires.

Can someone walk me through this or email me a diagram? Also, let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks,

Brandon

Slim series GFCI with back-wire holes

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 07:37:35 GMT

Do you have a slim GFCI with expanded wiring options that has the back-wire holes? This is the same feature that is in your 7599 products.
