Eaton SGFH20B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton SGFH hospital-grade GFCI accept a 20 amp straight-blade plug?
Yes. The SGFH GFCI receptacles are 5-20R NEMA configuration at 125V, so they take both 15A and 20A straight-blade cords (the T-slot neutral accepts a 20A plug). Amperage rating on the line is listed as 15A-20A.
2) What wire size and torque do the Eaton SGFH GFCI terminals take?
Terminals accept #14 through #10 AWG copper conductors, torqued to 16 lbf-inch. That covers both 14 AWG on a 15A branch and 12 AWG on a 20A branch, and 10 AWG if you are landing a heavier home run. Both back-wire and side-wire connections are supported, so you can pick whichever is faster in a crowded box.
3) Will the Eaton SGFH GFCI fit a standard single-gang wall box?
It is a flush-mount device sized 4.68 by 2.83 by 1.98 inches, so the strap mounts to a standard single-gang box and the face sits flush behind a wallplate. The 1.98 inch body depth is the number to watch: in a shallow old-work box with several conductors already in it, you will want the deeper box or a box extender before you try to fold the wires back.
4) What is a comparable hospital-grade self-test GFCI if I need a different brand to match an existing spec?
The Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is the closest cross-brand equivalent we carry: a hospital grade 20A duplex self-test GFCI in ivory. If your spec calls out P&S on the job, that is the one to match against the Eaton SGFH.
5) I just need a tough 20A outlet, not ground-fault protection. Is this the right part?
No, and you would be paying for protection you do not need. The SGFH is a GFCI device. For a plain heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex, look at the Bryant 5362B or 5362BI, or the Pass & Seymour 26352W in specification grade decorator style. Where the circuit is in a dwelling area that needs tamper resistance, the P&S 3232TRW Trademaster is tamper-resistant.
6) Can I use the Eaton SGFH GFCI on a 277V or locking-plug circuit?
No. It is a 125V, 5-20R straight-blade device only. For 277V motor-duty work look at the Bryant 430R9W 2-pole 3-wire 277V receptacle, for twist-lock look at the Bryant 70520FR flanged locking receptacle or the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 30A single receptacle, and for hazardous locations the Appleton FSQC interlocked explosionproof receptacle.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Eaton SGFH hospital-grade self-test GFCI receptacle from another brand?
The Pass & Seymour 2097HGI is the nearest match: it is a hospital grade 20A duplex self-test GFCI receptacle in ivory. The Eaton SGFH is also a self-test GFCI receptacle rated 125V in a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration, and it comes in brown (SGFH20B), gray (SGFH20GY), red (SGFH20RD), and ivory (SGFH20V), so color matching across a facility is where the two differ most.
8) If I do not need ground-fault protection on a 20A 125V circuit, what should I use instead of the Eaton SGFH?
Use a straight duplex receptacle such as the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex or the Pass & Seymour 26352W 20A 125V heavy-duty specification grade decorator duplex in white. Those are standard receptacles without GFCI; the Eaton SGFH carries self-test GFCI protection, which is what you keep if the circuit serves a kitchen, bath, or other location where ground-fault protection is required.
9) What does Self-Test mean on the Eaton SGFH GFCI, and does it replace the monthly push-button test?
Self-Test means the device automatically monitors its own ground-fault circuitry and verifies that protection is still working, instead of relying solely on someone walking the building pressing test buttons. For a property manager or facility MRO crew with dozens of GFCIs, that is the practical reason to spec it. The TEST and RESET buttons are still there for manual verification when your inspection program calls for it.
10) Is the Eaton SGFH GFCI actually hospital grade, and where would I use the red one?
It is a hospital-grade GFCI receptacle with brass contacts and a polycarbonate face and body. Red is the color convention for emergency/critical-branch circuits in healthcare facilities, so the SGFH20RD is what gets specified on those circuits; brown, gray, and ivory cover normal-branch and general commercial work.
11) Can I use this Eaton GFCI to protect the downstream outlets on the same circuit?
Yes. It is a two-pole, three-wire grounding GFCI device, so wiring the branch conductors to the LINE terminals and the downstream run to the LOAD terminals extends ground-fault protection to every receptacle past it. That is the usual way a kitchen or bath run gets covered from one device.
12) Can the Bryant 5362BI be used as a substitute for the Eaton SGFH in a patient care area?
The Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, so it matches the amperage and voltage class but it is not a ground-fault device. The Eaton SGFH is a self-test GFCI receptacle, so if the specification calls for GFCI protection the 5362BI will not satisfy it.
13) Will a locking or flanged receptacle like the Bryant 70520FR work where the Eaton SGFH is specified?
No. The Bryant 70520FR is a 7 Series NEMA flanged locking receptacle, and the Pass & Seymour 3330 Turnlok is a 30A non-NEMA single receptacle - both take twist-lock plugs, not standard straight-blade cords. The Eaton SGFH is a flush-mounted straight-blade device in a 5-20R NEMA configuration for ordinary cord caps.
14) What do I use instead of the Eaton SGFH in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
For classified areas, look at the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, which is a 3-pole device. The Eaton SGFH is a flush wall-box receptacle with a polycarbonate face and body intended for residential and commercial interior circuits.
15) My circuit is 277V - does the Eaton SGFH fit, or do I need something else?
The Eaton SGFH is rated 125V, so it does not belong on a 277V circuit. The Bryant 430R9W 4750DR is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle for that voltage class.
16) What colors does the Eaton SGFH self-test GFCI come in?
Four: brown (SGFH20B), gray (SGFH20GY), red (SGFH20RD), and ivory (SGFH20V). If you are standardizing a floor or a wing, pick one and order by that part number, since the color is the only thing that changes between them.
17) Does the Eaton SGFH GFCI come with a wallplate?
The SGFH is sold as the device itself, a flush-mount GFCI receptacle. Order a decorator-opening wallplate separately in the color you are standardizing on, plus the mounting screws that suit your box if the box hardware is not already on site.
