I've been asked to apply these devices, formerly unknown to me, in a hospital kitchen.
For those of you unfamiliar with the devices these are GFCI receptacles without the receptacles. i.e. my client would like to use them ahead of some twist lock receptacles in a kitchen to meet the GFCI requirement.
I think it's a great solution. However, someone has pointed out that these are available in commercial grade only and not in hospital grade.
Does this matter? It's not like we're talking about a patient care area. Also, my understanding is that the only difference between a commercial grade receptacle and a hospital grade is in how difficult it is to pull the plug out. This is obviously not an issue here.
Thanks,
Mike
