Eaton 270BLK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 270 series duplex receptacle take 12 AWG wire, or only 14?
The Eaton 270 residential grade duplex receptacle accepts #14 through #10 AWG conductors, so 12 AWG on a 20A home-run feeding 15A devices is fine. Terminations can be made either at the side screws or by push-wire, whichever is faster in the box.
2) Is a 15A receptacle OK on a 20A branch circuit?
Yes, for a multi-outlet branch circuit. The Eaton 270 is rated 15A at 125V with a NEMA 5-15R face, and 15A receptacles are permitted on 20A multi-outlet circuits under the NEC. If the circuit serves a single receptacle outlet, you need a 20A device instead, such as the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex.
3) Is the Eaton 270 receptacle heavy enough for a commercial corridor or a lobby?
It is a residential grade device. For apartment bedrooms, closets, and general-purpose 120V outlets it does the job, but for high-cycle commercial locations a spec or heavy-duty grade device holds up better. The Bryant 5362B and 5362BI are heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex options, and the Pass & Seymour 5762 is a specification grade device.
4) Is the Eaton 270 receptacle a spec-grade device, or do I need a different part for a spec-grade call-out?
The Eaton 270 is a residential grade duplex receptacle, 15A/125V with a thermoplastic housing. When a drawing calls for spec grade, the Pass & Seymour IG5362-I is a heavy-duty spec-grade isolated ground duplex receptacle at 20A 125V, and the Pass & Seymour 5762 is a specification grade duplex self-grounding receptacle. The Bryant 5362B is catalogued as heavy-duty grade.
5) What should I use instead of the Eaton 270 duplex receptacle on a 20A branch circuit?
The Eaton 270 series is rated 15A at 125V in a duplex configuration, so for a 20A receptacle on a 20-amp circuit look at the Bryant 5362B, a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, or the Bryant 5362BI in the same heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex form. Both carry the higher amperage rating the 270 does not.
6) What colors does the Eaton 270 duplex receptacle come in?
Four: black (270BLK), ivory (270V), white (270W), and light almond (270LA). Order by that suffix so the device face matches the plates already on the other outlets in the unit.
7) Which of these receptacles looks like a substitute for the Eaton 270 but will not accept a standard household plug?
The Pass & Seymour Turnlok 3330 is a 30A non-NEMA single receptacle, so a straight-blade cord cap will not mate with it. The Eaton 270 carries a NEMA 5-15R duplex face that accepts standard 15A straight-blade plugs. The Bryant 430R9W is likewise a 277V 2-pole 3-wire motor-duty device rather than a general-purpose outlet.
8) I need four outlets at one box instead of two - what takes the place of the Eaton 270?
The Eaton 270 is a duplex device, giving two outlets per yoke at 15A/125V. For four outlets in one opening, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle with a NEMA 5-20R face rated 20A.
9) Will the Eaton 270 receptacle work in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
The Eaton 270 is a flush-mount residential grade device for standard wall boxes in residential and commercial branch circuits. For classified areas the Appleton FSQC series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle, and the Appleton U-Line ECS set is a factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, 3-pole. Those are different enclosure families, not drop-in replacements for a 5-15R wall device.
10) Is there a receptacle that shuts power off on a schedule instead of the always-on Eaton 270?
The Eaton 270 is a straight general-purpose 15A/125V duplex outlet with no switching or timing built in. If you need the outlet to cut load automatically, the Pass & Seymour PLT26351 is a heavy duty spec grade plug load timer receptacle rated 20A 125V.
11) For a high-traffic apartment turn, should I stay with the Eaton 270 or step up to a heavier device?
The Eaton 270 is a residential grade receptacle with an impact-resistant thermoplastic housing and brass contacts, UL Listed, and it comes in black, white, ivory, and light almond so it can be matched across a building. Where the opening sees constant plug cycling, the Bryant 5362B and 5362BI are heavy-duty grade 20A/125V duplex receptacles, which is a different grade and amperage rather than a color or finish change.
12) What material is the Eaton 270 receptacle body made from and will it hold up in a damp basement?
The housing is impact-resistant thermoplastic with brass contacts for corrosion resistance. That suits dry and normally occupied interior locations in standard wall boxes. It is not a sealed or wet-location device; for hazardous or wash-down areas you want something like the Appleton FSQC Series explosionproof interlocked receptacle.
