Hubbell introduces EdgeConnect™ GFCI Receptacles, the first ground‑fault receptacle to feature patented screwless EdgeConnect termination technology. This product line combines all of Hubbell’s GFCI safety features with the speed and reliability of EdgeConnect clamps to deliver faster, more consistent terminations on every installation.

The EdgeConnect GFCI devices eliminate torque requirements and exposed screws. Installers simply open the color‑coded spring clamps, insert the conductors, and close the actuator for a fast, secure connection on every job. This method delivers installation speeds 65–80% faster than traditional screw‑terminal devices.

The spring‑clamp design maintains secure pressure and even tightens under vibration, resulting in terminations that achieve twice the pull‑out strength required by UL standards and provide 25–60% greater vibration resistance than conventional methods.

The EdgeConnect GFCI line incorporates the same advanced protection technologies of Hubbell’s other ground‑fault devices. The devices’ CLAD® technology actively filters out transients, harmonics, and electrical noise for accurate fault detection with fewer nuisance trips. AutoGuard® continuous self‑test confirms proper device operation every thirty seconds, helping ensure long‑term performance and code compliance. Tamper‑resistant shutters and weather‑resistant construction ensure complete protection.

Available in standard, specification‑grade, industrial, and hospital‑grade models, EdgeConnect GFCI devices are the latest addition to Hubbell’s unified wiring device platform. Contractors can now use one termination method and training protocol across receptacles, switches, and connectors, simplifying installation in residential, commercial, industrial, and healthcare environments.
