How to install Basement GFCI Receptacle circuit

What is wrong with the image above?

1. Incorrect conduit connection at service.
2. No pipe strap.

The key question is when to use arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI), ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), or both. Tamper-resistant (TR) outlets are good protection for children areas.

Remember, basements undergo more modifications than most other areas of the home, and improper installations are common in unfinished basement spaces.

Some helpful identifier stamps: TR (tamper-resistant) and WR (weather-resistant) are stamped directly on the outlet. AFCI receptacles currently do not display these identifiers. GFCI outlets with TR and WR ratings are used many areas presently while using AFCI breakers protect the entire circuit. Sometimes its more affordable to use breaker instead of the actual devices. The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires both GFCI and AFCI protection.
