AFCI outlets: a buyer's guide
In short
An AFCI outlet (arc-fault circuit interrupter receptacle) cuts power when it detects dangerous arcing in a cord or in the wiring, and it protects the outlets downstream of it on the same circuit. Supply Tie sells AFCI outlets, AFCI/GFCI dual function outlets, an AFCI breaker and an AFCI/GFCI tester at supplytie.com, and ships to the lower 48 states.

How to choose
- AFCI or dual function: AFCI for fire protection only; AFCI/GFCI dual function where shock protection is also needed, such as kitchens, laundry rooms and other wet areas.
- Outlet or breaker: an outlet at the first box on the circuit protects that run without changing the panel; a breaker protects the whole circuit.
- Amps: 15 A (5-15R) or 20 A (5-20R) to match the circuit and the plugs used.
- Tamper resistant: shutters keep objects out of the slots; many codes call for them in new residential work.
- Test: press the test button monthly, and use an AFCI/GFCI outlet tester after installing.
This guide is general product information, not electrical advice. Follow the instructions in the box and your local code, and use a licensed electrician where required.

FAQ
What is an AFCI outlet?
An AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlet watches the circuit for dangerous arcing, such as from a damaged cord or a loose wire, and cuts power before it can start a fire. Installed at the first outlet on a circuit, it also protects the outlets wired downstream of it.
AFCI outlet or AFCI breaker?
An AFCI breaker protects the whole circuit from the panel. An AFCI outlet protects from that outlet onward, which is useful when replacing outlets in an older building or when the panel has no AFCI breaker that fits.
What is the difference between AFCI and GFCI?
AFCI protects against arcing faults (fire risk). GFCI protects people against ground faults (shock risk), as near water. A dual function AFCI/GFCI outlet does both in one device.
Where are AFCI outlets required?
Electrical codes in many areas require AFCI protection on most 15 and 20 amp living-area circuits in homes and dwelling units, and on circuits that are extended or modified. Requirements depend on the code your jurisdiction has adopted, so check with your local inspector.
15 amp or 20 amp AFCI outlet?
Match the circuit: a 15 amp outlet (5-15R) for a 15 amp circuit, and a 20 amp outlet (5-20R, with the T-shaped slot) where 20 amp plugs will be used on a 20 amp circuit.
