Pass & Seymour 1597-TRGRY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour 1597-TR GFCI protect downstream outlets on the same circuit?
Yes. The 1597-TR is wired feed-thru with a 20 amp feed-thru capacity, so a single device at the first box protects the receptacles downstream of it. Useful when you are bringing a bathroom or kitchen branch up to code without swapping every outlet on the run. Note the device itself is rated 15A, 125VAC, 60Hz, so the receptacle face is a 15 amp opening even though the feed-thru path carries 20 amps.
2) Does the 1597-TR meet the NEC tamper-resistant outlet requirement?
It does. The 1597-TR uses a patented shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects and meets National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements, so it covers both the GFCI and the TR obligation in one device. That is the combination inspectors look for in dwelling-unit kitchens, bathrooms and finished spaces.
3) Is the 1597-TR GFCI listed for commercial and institutional work, not just residential?
It carries UL Listing under UL498, is cULus Listed, and is FSUL Listed to Federal Specification WC596, which is what federal and institutional specs typically call for. It is a Class A GFCI, meets 2015 UL requirements, and exceeds UL 943 voltage surge requirements, surviving 100 times the required 3kA/6kV test cycles. Short circuit rating is 10kA.
4) I need a 20 amp receptacle, not 15 amp. What should I use instead of the 1597-TR?
The 1597-TR is a 15A, 125V device, so it is the wrong face for a required 20 amp outlet. If GFCI protection is not the requirement and you just need a 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R receptacle, the Leviton 16352-1PW commercial grade duplex or the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus commercial grade duplex are both 20A 125V 5-20R. For a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex, the Bryant 5362B is listed heavy-duty grade. None of those provide GFCI or tamper-resistant protection, so they do not substitute where the code calls for GFCI.
5) If a 20A circuit needs a 125V duplex receptacle instead of the 15A Pass & Seymour 1597-TR, what are the options?
The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR is rated 15A at 125V. For a 20A device on a 125V circuit, the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, and the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex rated 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R. Both are straight blade receptacles without ground-fault protection, so a 20A opening that requires GFCI protection would need the 1597-TR feeding them downstream on its 20 Amp feed-thru capacity.
6) Is a hospital grade receptacle like the Leviton 16262-HGW a substitute for the Pass & Seymour 1597-TR in a healthcare facility?
No. The Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, supplied in packs of 100, and hospital grade addresses mechanical and grounding integrity rather than ground-fault detection. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR is a Class A GFCI with a 5 +/- 1 mA trip threshold, self-test every three seconds, and tamper-resistant shutters that meet National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements. Where a healthcare drawing calls for both hospital grade and GFCI protection, one device does not cover the other.
7) What wire size and wiring methods will the 1597-TR GFCI accept?
It takes #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. There are two back-wire holes per terminal plus side or internal screw-pressure-plate back wire, so you can pigtail, back-wire, or land under the side screws depending on how deep the box is. A ground screw with back-wire clamp and an Auto-Ground clip for positive ground to a metal box are both included.
8) What does self-test mean on a GFCI, and do I still have to push the test button monthly?
The 1597-TR runs an automatic internal test every three seconds. If it fails that test, the indicator light flashes to tell you the device needs replacing, and SafeLock Protection disconnects power if critical components are damaged. The dual-direction test and reset buttons are still there for manual verification. Trip threshold is 5 +/- 1 mA with a nominal trip time of 0.025 seconds per UL standard.
9) What colors does the Pass & Seymour 1597-TR self-test GFCI come in?
Five: brown (1597-TR), white (1597-TRAW), black (1597-TRBK), gray (1597-TRGRY), and the standard version (1597-TRW). The test and reset button colors match the device face, and a matching TP wall plate is included, which matters when you are standardizing a building's device color across hundreds of openings.
10) Do I need to buy a wall plate separately for the 1597-TR?
No, a matching TP wall plate ships with the device. Mounting screws are captive in both the device and the wall plate, and the strap is extra-long, which helps when the box is set back from the finished wall surface.
11) Is a self-test GFCI the right choice over a standard 15A straight-blade receptacle for a bathroom or kitchen outlet?
For any location where code requires ground-fault protection, yes. A standard straight-blade device such as the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W (15A 125V, 5-15R, industrial specification grade) gives you a durable outlet but no ground-fault sensing and no tamper-resistant shutters. The 1597-TR combines Class A GFCI protection, automatic self-test every three seconds, and NEC-compliant tamper-resistant shutters in one device. Use the plain spec-grade receptacle downstream of the GFCI instead, since the 1597-TR's feed-thru wiring protects those outlets.
12) Will the 1597-TR work in a hospital or healthcare setting that requires hospital grade receptacles?
The 1597-TR is a Class A self-test GFCI with UL498 and cULus listing, but it is not a hospital grade device. Where the spec calls out hospital grade, you need a device listed as such, for example the Leviton 16262-HGW hospital grade duplex receptacle. Use the 1597-TR for the GFCI and tamper-resistant requirements in the non-patient-care areas of the facility.
13) How do I know when a 1597-TR needs to be replaced?
The indicator light flashes when the device fails its automatic self-test, which is the signal to swap it out. On top of that, SafeLock Protection cuts power to the receptacle if critical internal components are damaged, so a failed device will not sit there energized and unprotected. For property managers running monthly checks across a portfolio, the flashing light is the fast visual pass/fail.
14) We need a single receptacle rather than a duplex at a 15A outlet. What works instead of the 1597-TR?
The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR is a duplex GFCI device. For a single-outlet configuration, the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG. Neither provides ground-fault protection, so a single outlet in a GFCI-required location is typically fed downstream from the 1597-TR using its feed-thru wiring.
15) Can the Pass & Seymour 1597-TR be used in a wet or hazardous industrial area instead of an explosionproof receptacle?
No. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR is a 15A 125V thermoplastic wiring device for residential and commercial receptacle wiring. Hazardous locations call for purpose-built devices such as 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 assembly. Those are different device classes and the 1597-TR is not an alternative to them.
16) What should I use where the circuit is not 125V single-pole, such as a 277V motor or a 50A locking outlet?
The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR is rated 125V only. For a 277V two-pole three-wire motor-duty application, the Bryant 430R9W 4750DR receptacle covers that voltage, and for a high-amperage locking connection the Eaton 7379 is an extra heavy duty industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black. Neither is a GFCI device, and the 1597-TR cannot be applied at those voltages.
17) Will the 1597-TR hold up on a circuit with voltage that sags or swings?
The device is rated for a supply voltage range of 102 to 132 VAC at 60Hz, so normal line variation on a 125V branch is within spec. The housing is high-impact-resistant thermoplastic, and the 10kA short circuit rating covers it on typical branch circuits.
18) For a decorator-style opening, how does the Leviton Decora Plus 16342 compare with the Pass & Seymour 1597-TR?
The Leviton 16342 is a Decora Plus commercial grade duplex receptacle rated 20-amp 125-volt NEMA 5-20R in white. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR is a 15A 125V GFCI with tamper-resistant shutters and automatic self-test, offered in brown, white, black, gray and standard, and it ships with a matching TP wall plate. The Leviton is a straight blade device in a decorator face; the 1597-TR is the device to use where the code requires ground-fault and tamper-resistant protection.
19) Is a commercial grade impact-resistant receptacle like the Leviton 16251W comparable in durability to the Pass & Seymour 1597-TR?
The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TR uses high-impact-resistant thermoplastic construction with an extra-long strap and a 10kA short circuit rating. The difference in selecting between them is function rather than build: the Leviton and Bryant devices are straight blade outlets, while the 1597-TR adds Class A ground-fault protection and tamper-resistant shutters.
