Answer This Question
A: The 51110-SRG unit can be surface mounted by removing the cover, inserting screws through the two holes provided, tightening them to secure the unit, then replacing the cover. The unit can also be flush mounted by mounting the unit to a depth of 1 5/8 inches [4.1 cm] (maximum), then, when the cover is replaced, it should be flush with the outer wall. Direct panel mounting applications should utilize a 7/8" (2.2 cm) conduit knockout hole with the threaded nipple (provided).

Q:My panel does not have a dedicated ground bar. Should the ground wire land on the neutral bar (like all the other circuits) along with the neutral wire or attach directly to the ground wire where it enters the panel?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Yes, you can. Neutral and ground wires can share the same bar as long as your panel is the first means of disconnect.

Good and economical surge protector
The Leviton 51110 whole-home surge protector is a UL-listed Type 2 Surge Protective Device for your circuit breaker panel. It's UL1449 v3 ratings are 600 V L-N, L-G, N-G (lower numbers are better). I assume that's decent because the best I've ever seen for a Type 3 surge power strip is 400 V.
This is a must-have to protect anything that's hardwired to your panel and so can't use a surge power strip, e.g. hybrid water heater, heat pumps. Surge power strips are good additional protection.

Great Insurance
This surge protector is awesome. With computer chips in nearly everything from TV's to refrigerators and even the new stoves this is about the best insurance that money can buy. The installation was easy enough. I had an empty circuit breaker at the bottom of my meter base outside my house. The surge protector is rated a NEMA 4x meaning it is pretty much waterproof so I installed it there. It's actually before my house circuit breaker panel making the location perfect for good protection. Everything went as planned and in this situation no news is definitely good news. With all of the electronics in homes these days and insurance deductibles so high installing this is a no brainer.
Great Price! Great Protection! Simply Great Install!
Having had numerous power surges damage and destroy expensive electronics like laptops and home appliances over the years, the prospect of having whole-house surge protection was a welcome one to say the least. So when saw this item available in the Home Depot Seeds campaign, I quickly selected it.
Initially, I expected to be able to install this product myself since it is intended to wire directly into the top-left and top-right 20A circuit breakers, the reality was that in order to have the manufacturer honor the covered devices warranty, a certified electrician must install this product. Now obviously if you have a friend or family member that is a certified electrician this could cost you nothing more than a favor being called in. For me, I contacted a local company who offered to install the product for a reduced cost due to the easy and quick install.
Overall the install went smoothly other than working around some odd-ball wiring from the previous owners of our home and I would estimate it took no more than 20 minutes and the install was very clean.
Now it would seem apparent that I can't speak to how well this product will protect against a lightning strike or a surge from the power company since I continue to pray that I never have that happen. Based on the Underwriter Laboratory confirmed specifications of this product though, I am reasonably confident my electronic equipment is protected from such an event.
With this product costing a fraction of the amount of many of the other whole-house surge protectors on the market and the easy/clean install, I give this item full marks and I fully recommend this product to all home owners.
120/240-Volt Residential Whole House Surge Protector
The 51110 SRG (SPD Type 2) Residential Surge Protection Panel is designed for use on 240/120 VAC at the circuit breaker panel ( the service entrance) in homes, apartments, and condominiums. It offers advanced surge protection for modern electronics and appliances, reducing the rish of damage from spikes and surges entering the property through AC power lines.
The leads from the SPD (Surge Protection Device) must be connected to the power mains through a 20 Amp (maximum) disconnect and fusing means. One breaker for each 120 VAC branch. The SPD may be mounted directly to the Circuit Breaker Panel via built in connector which can be inserted in any "knock-out" hole in the panel.
Warranty is for the benefit of the original consumer purchaser only and will continue for as long as such original purchaser uses the Leviton "True Whole-House Surge Protection" package. It is a limited 10 year Connected Equipment Protection for up to $5,000.
I installed one on each of the two 200amp main panel boxes in my house about 5 years ago. Prior to that I had lost a lot of stuff to power surge and lightning strikes over the years. Yes I said strikes. The chimney has been rebuilt and the same sheet of roofing replaced twice. Yes, it does strike the same place twice.
This morning the house took at power surge from the power company and whole house surge protector did its job. I know protector took the brunt of it because the face blew off the front of it and it landed 4 feet away. See the picture attached. Off to Depot to get another one today!

Great product
PLEASE BE SAFE - if you don't have the experience or are not sure, have a professional do it for you. It is not that hard to install - but you must do it safely.
1. Have all the stuff you need on hand (tools, 2 20 amp CB, and the surge protector)
2. Make sure you have two free spaces in your CB panel
3. Turn off power at the incoming power at the meter CB
4. Remove CB cover
4. Attach the surge protector to the CB box
5. Install the two CB (one on each leg) make sure they are installed correctly
6. Black wires go the CB one each - White wire to neutral - Green wire to ground (make sure you have a tight connection)
7. Re-install the CB cover
8. Turn on power at the meter
9. Make sure you have two green lights on the surge protector
That's it
