Eaton 816W-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 816W-BOX single receptacle take #12 wire on a 20A-fed branch circuit?
The Eaton commercial spec grade single receptacle accepts #14 through #10 AWG conductors, so #12 terminates fine. But the device itself is rated 15A, so it can only be used where a 15A receptacle is permitted on that circuit. If you need a 20A device, look at a 20A part such as the Pass & Seymour 26352W spec grade duplex.
2) What is the difference between a single receptacle and a duplex receptacle, and when do I need the single?
A single receptacle has one outlet on the yoke instead of two. Electricians use it where a circuit serves one dedicated piece of equipment, so nothing else can be plugged in alongside it. The Eaton 816W-BOX is that single-outlet 15A version. If you want two outlets on the same yoke for general office or retail wiring, a duplex like the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V or the Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster is the device to spec instead.
3) Can I use the Eaton 816W-BOX in a hazardous location?
No. The Eaton 816W-BOX is cULus Listed for commercial and light-industrial flush-mounted wall box work, not for classified hazardous areas. For those environments, the Appleton FSQC Series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle, and the Appleton U-Line ECS is a factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set in a 3-pole configuration. Confirm the area classification with your electrical engineer before selecting either Appleton device.
4) Will the Eaton 816W-BOX accept a twist-lock plug?
No. The Eaton 816W-BOX is a straight-blade 15A single receptacle for flush mounting in a standard device box, so a locking cord cap will not engage it. For locking connections, the Pass & Seymour L2130R is a 30A L2130 single receptacle in black, and the Bryant 70520FR is a 7 Series NEMA flanged locking receptacle for flanged inlet or outlet applications. Match the NEMA configuration on the cord cap before ordering either.
5) What is the difference between the Eaton 816W-BOX single receptacle and a duplex spec grade device like the Pass & Seymour 26352W?
The Eaton 816W-BOX is a single receptacle rated 15A and built to commercial specification grade, so one device serves one outlet in the box. The Pass & Seymour 26352W is a decorator duplex receptacle rated 20A at 125V in a specification grade build, giving two outlets from a single strap. Choose the Eaton single when you want a dedicated outlet for one piece of equipment and do not want a second cord plugged into the same yoke; choose the duplex when the location needs two receptacle faces.
6) I need a 20A receptacle instead of the Eaton 15A single. What should I use?
The Eaton 816W-BOX is rated 15A, so it is not the device for a 20A branch circuit outlet requirement. For 20A at 125V, the Bryant 5362B and 5362BI are heavy-duty duplex receptacles, and the Pass & Seymour 26352W is a 20A 125V specification grade decorator duplex. All three are duplex rather than single, so confirm your drawing does not specifically call for a single-outlet device.
7) Can the Eaton 816W-BOX be used where GFCI protection is required at the outlet?
No. The Eaton 816W-BOX is a straight 15A commercial specification grade single receptacle with no ground-fault protection built in. Where the outlet itself must provide GFCI, the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is a hospital grade 20A duplex self-test GFCI receptacle in ivory. That device is 20A and duplex, so verify circuit rating and outlet count before swapping.
8) I need a single receptacle for a 277V motor load. Does the Eaton 816W-BOX work?
The Eaton 816W-BOX is a 15A commercial specification grade single receptacle for standard 15A branch-circuit loads and is not the device for a 277V motor connection. The Bryant 430R9W in the 4750DR series is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle built for that service. Verify the cord cap configuration and motor nameplate current against the Bryant device.
9) Will the Eaton 816W single receptacle fit a standard single-gang device box?
Yes. The device measures .82 in width, 4.19 in height and 1.3 in depth, which is the standard strap-and-body footprint for a flush-mounted single-gang wall box. It mounts flush behind a standard wallplate.
10) Is a commercial specification grade receptacle worth it over a residential grade device for an office tenant fit-out?
Specification grade is the step up from residential: heavier contacts and strap for repeated plug cycles and long service life in commercial traffic. The Eaton 816W-BOX is built to commercial specification grade, which is what most office, retail and institutional specs call for. For hospital or other patient-care areas the spec normally goes further to hospital grade, such as the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI.
11) Is the Eaton 816W-BOX acceptable in a childcare or patient area where tamper-resistant outlets are required?
The Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade 15A single receptacle without a tamper-resistant shutter feature called out. Where TR devices are mandated, the Pass & Seymour 3232TRW Trademaster is a tamper-resistant duplex receptacle in white. For patient care areas that call for hospital grade, the Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is a hospital grade 20A duplex self-test GFCI device.
12) For a high-abuse corridor outlet, is the Eaton 816W-BOX enough or should I step up?
The Eaton 816W-BOX is built to commercial specification grade, a step above residential-grade devices, and is cULus Listed for commercial service at 15A. If the opening sees heavy plug cycling and you want a heavier build with two outlet faces, the Bryant 5362B and 5362BI are heavy-duty 20A 125V duplex receptacles. The tradeoff is amperage and outlet count, so confirm the branch circuit rating supports a 20A device.
13) What model do I order for the Eaton commercial spec grade 15A single receptacle?
Order model 816WBOX, manufacturer part number 816W-BOX. That is the single configuration of this Eaton 15A commercial specification grade single receptacle.
