Eaton 817B-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Eaton 817B single receptacle fit a standard single-gang box and wall plate?
The Eaton 817 commercial spec grade receptacle is a flush-mount single receptacle measuring 3.28 in x 1.31 in x .83 in, which is the standard strap-and-yoke footprint for a single-gang box. Note it takes a single-receptacle plate with one round opening, not a duplex plate, so order plates to match.
2) What wire size can I land on the Eaton 817 receptacle, and does it have back-wire holes?
It takes #14 through #10 AWG copper on side-wire screw terminals. There is no back-wire option here, so plan on wrapping the conductor under the screw. The #10 capacity means it will accept a branch circuit run in heavier wire for voltage drop without needing a pigtail down to #14.
3) Is the Eaton 817 rated for 20 amp equipment?
No. It is a 15A, 125V device with a 5-15R face, so a 20A plug with the sideways blade will not enter it, and it should not be used where a 20A receptacle is required. For 20A at 125V, look at the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty duplex or the Pass & Seymour 26352W.
4) I need a 20A duplex instead of a 15A single outlet on this circuit - what should I order?
The Eaton 817B-BOX / 817V-BOX is a 5-15R single receptacle rated 15A at 125V, so it gives one outlet on a 15-amp branch circuit. For a 20-amp duplex at the same 125 volts, look at the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty duplex receptacle or the Pass & Seymour 26352W, a 20A 125V heavy-duty specification grade decorator duplex in white. The Bryant and P&S devices give two outlets and a 20A rating; the Eaton gives a dedicated single point of connection, which is what you want when a piece of equipment should not share the outlet.
5) Does the Eaton 817B-BOX meet tamper-resistant requirements for a school or daycare?
The Eaton 817B-BOX is a commercial specification grade 5-15R single receptacle with a nylon face and brass contacts, cULus listed. Where the code official is calling for tamper-resistant receptacles in the occupancy, the Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster tamper-resistant duplex receptacle in white is the device written for that requirement. Order the Eaton where TR is not required and a single dedicated outlet is wanted.
6) Can I use this Eaton receptacle in a patient care area of a hospital?
The Eaton 817B-BOX is a commercial specification grade device, which is the grade written for offices, retail and similar professional interiors. For hospital grade with ground-fault protection, the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is a hospital grade 20A duplex self-test GFCI receptacle in ivory. Specify the hospital grade P&S device where the facility's requirements call for it and keep the Eaton for the general-use areas of the building.
7) The plug on my equipment twists to lock - will it fit the Eaton 817V-BOX?
No. The Eaton 817V-BOX is a straight-blade 5-15R configuration that accepts a standard 5-15P plug. A twist-lock cord cap needs a locking receptacle such as the Bryant 70520FR, a 7 Series NEMA flanged locking receptacle, or the Pass and Seymour Turnlok 30A non-NEMA single receptacle. Match the cord cap to the receptacle configuration before ordering.
8) Why would I spec a single 5-15R instead of a duplex outlet?
A single 5-15R gives you one dedicated point of connection, which is what you want on a dedicated circuit for one piece of equipment, a copier, a pump controller, or anywhere you do not want a second cord plugged in. If you need two outlets on the opening, go to a duplex such as the Pass & Seymour 26352W spec grade decorator duplex.
9) Is commercial specification grade good enough for a high-traffic office or retail space?
Yes. Spec grade sits above residential grade in construction, and this one uses brass contacts and a nylon face rather than a thermoplastic residential body, which is what holds up to repeated plug cycles. For patient care areas you need hospital grade instead, such as the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI.
10) Is this Eaton receptacle tamper resistant?
No, the 817 is a standard 5-15R face without tamper-resistant shutters. If your occupancy requires TR devices, the Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster tamper-resistant duplex is the alternative to spec.
11) Can I use the Eaton 817 outdoors or in a wet or hazardous location?
No. It is a flush-mount interior device for offices, retail, and similar commercial spaces, with no GFCI protection and no sealed enclosure. Wet locations call for a GFCI such as the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI in a weatherproof cover, and classified areas need an explosionproof device like the Appleton FSQC interlocked receptacle.
12) Will a 5-15R accept the plug on my equipment?
A 5-15R takes the common NEMA 5-15P grounding plug, two parallel blades plus a round ground pin, which is what most 120V commercial equipment and appliance cords use. It will not take a 5-20P plug with the rotated neutral blade, and it will not take locking plugs like those used on the Pass & Seymour Turnlok line.
13) Is this Eaton receptacle suitable for a hazardous or wet industrial area?
The Eaton 817B-BOX is a flush-mount, side-wire commercial interior device with a nylon face, intended for offices, retail and similar buildouts. For a classified or harsh location, the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, 3-pole, are the devices built for that environment.
14) Will the Eaton 817B-BOX work for a 277V motor circuit?
No. The Eaton 817B-BOX is rated 125V in a 5-15R configuration, so it belongs on a standard 125-volt branch circuit. A 277-volt motor connection calls for a device like the Bryant 430R9W 4750DR 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle.
15) What is the difference between the Eaton 817 single receptacle and a Bryant 5362BI?
The Eaton 817B-BOX and 817V-BOX are commercial specification grade single receptacles, 5-15R, 15A at 125V, with brass contacts and side-wire screw terminals, offered in brown and ivory. The Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty grade 20A/125V duplex receptacle. So the differences are outlet count, amperage and grade designation - pick the Eaton single where you want one controlled point of connection on a 15A circuit and the Bryant where a 20A duplex is specified.
16) I need white devices to match the rest of the office - does the Eaton 817 come in white?
The Eaton 817 single receptacle is offered as 817B-BOX in brown and 817V-BOX in ivory. If the buildout is standardized on white faces, the Pass & Seymour 26352W is a 20A 125V heavy-duty specification grade decorator duplex in white, and the Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster tamper-resistant duplex is also white. Ivory 817V-BOX is the closest match within the Eaton 817 family.
