Leviton 1PS18-3Z Power Pedestal Kit

Power Outdoor Projects with the Leviton Power Pedestal Kit

The 1PS18-3Z from Leviton is a 1-gang stainless steel power pedestal kit designed to bring surface mounted power to outdoor or detached locations. It is suitable for weather exposed installations such as docks, sheds, or gardens. Key features include a NEMA 3R rated enclosure and a factory installed 20A GFCI receptacle.

Key Features and Benefits of This Power Pedestal

The included 20A weather resistant and tamper resistant GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), model G5362-WTW, protects against shock in wet outdoor settings, which matters for safety near water or damp ground. A stainless steel 18 inch pedestal resists corrosion for long term outdoor exposure.

Where to Use the 1PS18-3Z Power Pedestal

Suited for docks, boat launches, gardens, or detached outdoor areas needing a standalone power point away from the main structure. The NEMA 3R rating covers rain and outdoor weather, though it is not intended for submersion.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Surface mount design requires a stable base and a dedicated feeder circuit run to the pedestal location. The included in-use cover, model IUM1V-0GY, keeps the receptacle weather resistant even with a cord plugged in, so confirm it closes properly during use.

Additional Buying Context

Combining a GFCI receptacle and a weatherproof cover in one kit simplifies sourcing for outdoor power projects, since buyers do not need to match components separately. Confirm local electrical code requirements for outdoor pedestal installations before purchase.
