Bryant 5251I Series Single Receptacle, Side-Wired Wiring Device

The Bryant 5251I Series Single Receptacle is a side-wired wiring device engineered for dependable, code-compliant electrical connections. As part of Bryant's established wiring device lineup, the 5251I Series is configured as a single receptacle with side-wired terminals, giving installers a secure termination point for branch-circuit wiring. Bryant wiring devices are built to withstand the demands of everyday use in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical systems, and the 5251I Series carries that same construction philosophy into a straightforward, single-outlet configuration. Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications, including voltage, amperage, and dimensional data specific to this catalog number.

Key Features

  • Series Designation: The 5251I Series identifies this device within Bryant's broader receptacle and wiring device catalog, helping installers and distributors match replacement parts precisely.
  • Single Receptacle Configuration: Configured as a single-outlet receptacle, making it well suited for dedicated-circuit applications where a single point of connection is required.
  • Side-Wired Terminals: Wiring terminates via side-wired screw terminals, a widely used termination method that provides a firm mechanical connection between the branch circuit conductor and the device.
  • Professional-Grade Construction: Built as a Bryant wiring device for use by licensed electricians and electrical contractors in new construction, renovation, and device-replacement projects.
  • Compatible Replacement Part: The 5251I Series designation allows facility maintenance teams and electrical distributors to specify an exact match when replacing an existing Bryant single receptacle.

Bryant 5251I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between Bryant 5251I and 5351I?
Amperage. The Bryant 5251I is the 15A 125V single receptacle and the 5351I is the 20A 125V version. Both are the same ivory single-outlet, side-wired design, so pick the catalog number that matches the branch circuit and breaker you are feeding.
2) Why use a single receptacle instead of a duplex on a dedicated circuit?
A single outlet physically prevents anyone from plugging a second load onto a circuit reserved for one piece of equipment. That is the usual reason electricians specify the Bryant 5251I single receptacle for dedicated-circuit work such as a compressor, copier, or piece of shop equipment. If you want two outlets on the circuit, a duplex like the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W (15A 125V, 5-15R) is the alternative.
3) I need to replace an existing Bryant single receptacle in our building. Is this the right match?
If the device you are pulling out is marked 5251I or 5351I, yes, this is the exact catalog number and it will drop into the same box and plaster ring. Match the amperage first: 15A 125V for the 5251I, 20A 125V for the 5351I. Facility teams standardizing on one part across many rooms can order the same number repeatedly rather than mixing devices.
4) Will the Bryant 5251I work in a hazardous location, or do I need something else?
The Bryant 5251I is a general-purpose side-wired wiring device for commercial, industrial, and residential branch circuits, not a hazardous-location device. Where a classified area is involved, the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp 3-pole plug and receptacle set are built for that duty. Those are enclosure-based wiring systems rather than a device in a standard wall box.
5) I need a single receptacle in a decorator style instead of the standard Bryant 5251I face - what can I use?
The Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle that accepts #14-10 AWG conductors. It gives you the same one-outlet configuration as the Bryant 5251I but in a decorator opening, so the wall plate differs from a standard receptacle plate. Confirm your plate style before ordering, since decorator and standard faces are not interchangeable under the same cover.
6) Is the Pass & Seymour 5762 a substitute for the Bryant 5251I?
No. The Pass & Seymour 5762 is a specification grade self-grounding duplex receptacle rated 15A 277V. The Bryant 5251I family is 125V - 15A 125V for the 5251I and 20A 125V for the 5351I - so the 277V device belongs on a different circuit entirely and is not a drop-in replacement despite the shared 15A number.
7) What is the closest single-receptacle alternative to the Bryant 5251I at 15A?
The Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, which matches the single-outlet configuration and 15A rating of the Bryant 5251I. Both are single receptacles rather than duplex, so either works on a dedicated circuit where only one point of connection is wanted. The Eaton device is described with a commercial specification grade rating; the Bryant 5251I is a side-wired Bryant wiring device in a single-outlet configuration.
8) Does the Bryant 5251I have back-wire holes or screw terminals?
Screw terminals on the side of the device. The 5251I and 5351I are side-wired, so conductors land under the terminal screws rather than in a push-in or back-wire clamp. Plan your box fill and conductor length accordingly, since side wiring needs a little more slack to dress the wires around the yoke.
9) What are the alternatives if I need an isolated ground or a timer on a single circuit?
The Bryant 5251I is a straight, general-purpose single receptacle with no isolated ground and no control features. For sensitive electronics on an isolated ground, the Pass & Seymour IG5362-I is a heavy-duty spec-grade isolated ground duplex at 20A 125V. If the requirement is automatic shutoff for energy code, the Pass & Seymour PLT26351 is a spec-grade plug load timer receptacle at 20A 125V. Both are duplex rather than single outlets.
10) My equipment has a twist-lock plug - can I use the Bryant 5251I?
No. The Bryant 5251I and 5351I are straight-blade 125V single receptacles at 15A and 20A. For a twist-lock cord cap, use a locking device such as the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 30A non-NEMA single receptacle or the Eaton 7379 industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC in black. Match the locking configuration to the plug on the equipment before ordering.
11) I need the outlet to shut off automatically for an energy code requirement - what replaces the Bryant 5351I?
The Pass & Seymour PLT26351 is a heavy duty spec grade plug load timer receptacle rated 20A 125V, the same rating as the Bryant 5351I. It adds timed control of the outlet, which the Bryant 5351I does not provide - that device is a straight side-wired single receptacle. Allow for the deeper device body a controlled receptacle typically needs in the box.
