Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals:
• The white wire connects to the WHITE terminal (Silver)
• The black wire connects to the HOT terminal (Brass or Black)
Connect the grounding wire (only if there is a grounding wire):
• For a box with no grounding terminal (diagram not shown): Connect the
LINE cable's bare copper (or GREEN) wire directly to the grounding
terminal on the GFCI receptacle.
• For a box with a grounding terminal (diagram shown above): Connect
a 6-inch bare copper (or GREEN) 12 or 14 AWG wire to the grounding
terminal on the GFCI. Also connect a similar wire to the grounding
terminal on the box. Connect the ends of these wires to the LINE
cable's bare copper (or GREEN) wire using a wire connector.
If these wires are already in place, check the connections.
Complete the installation:
• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the grounding wire away from the
WHITE and HOT terminals. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach
the faceplate.
• Go to step 8.
