Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI and 2097-TRI?
Amperage and receptacle face. The 1597-TRI is the 15 amp version with a NEMA 5-15R face; the 2097-TRI is the 20 amp version with a NEMA 5-20R face (the T-slot neutral that accepts a 20 amp plug). Both are Ivory, both 125VAC, and both carry 20 amp feed-thru capacity, so either one can protect downstream receptacles on a 20 amp branch circuit.
2) Do these Pass & Seymour GFCI outlets meet the NEC tamper-resistant requirement for dwelling units?
Yes. The 1597-TRI family uses a patented shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects and meets National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements, so it satisfies the TR rule in areas where TR receptacles are mandated. It also meets 2015 UL requirements and is a Class A GFCI, which is the 4-6 mA personnel-protection class.
3) What wire size do these GFCI receptacles accept, and can I back-wire them?
They take #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. There are two back-wire holes per terminal with a screw-pressure-plate clamp, so you can side-wire or back-wire, and there is an Auto-Ground clip plus a back-wire ground screw clamp for the equipment ground. The thermoplastic body is thinner than most GFCIs, which helps when you are stuffing a crowded box.
4) Can I use one of these GFCIs to protect the other outlets downstream on the circuit?
Yes. Both the 15A and 20A versions have 20 amp feed-thru capacity, so wiring the branch conductors to the LINE terminals and the downstream run to the LOAD terminals protects every receptacle beyond it. That is the usual way to cover a string of kitchen, bath, or garage outlets from a single accessible device.
5) Is the 1597-TRI acceptable for federal or government spec jobs?
It is UL Listed to UL498, cULus Listed, and FSUL Listed under Federal Specification WC596, so it meets the federal spec call-out on government work. For patient care areas, note that this is not a hospital grade device; the Leviton GFNT1-HG, or the Ivory GFNT1-HGI, are the hospital grade GFCIs to look at instead.
6) What is the closest tamper-resistant GFCI equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI from another brand?
The Bryant HUBGFRTRW is the closest cross-brand match: it is a commercial tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated 125VAC in a 15A-20A range, the same voltage and amperage span the 1597-TRI family covers with its 15A 5-15R and 20A 5-20R configurations. Both are duplex tamper-resistant GFCIs, so either satisfies an NEC tamper-resistant requirement on a 125V branch circuit. The Pass & Seymour side adds Self-Test circuitry that runs an automatic test every three seconds with a red LED trip indicator, plus the SafeLock feature that cuts power if critical internal components are damaged.
7) I need an ivory GFCI for a hospital or clinic exam room - is the 1597-TRI the right choice?
For a patient care area, specify the Leviton GFNT1-HGI instead. It is a hospital grade GFCI receptacle in ivory, so it carries the hospital grade rating those spaces are specified to and still matches an ivory device plan. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI is an ivory tamper-resistant Self-Test GFCI intended for residential and light commercial wiring such as kitchens, bathrooms, and wet-area receptacles. If you want the same hospital grade device in white rather than ivory, the Leviton GFNT1-HG is the companion.
8) Do I need a tamper-resistant GFCI, or will a standard self-test GFCI do?
If the opening is not in a location the National Electrical Code requires tamper-resistant receptacles, the Leviton SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCI duplex is the non-tamper-resistant option, 15A 125V in white. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI uses a patented shutter system to meet NEC tamper-resistant requirements, which is what you want in dwelling unit areas subject to those rules. Note the Leviton is white and 15A only; the 1597-TRI family is ivory with 15A 5-15R and 20A 5-20R choices.
9) Does a wall plate come with the Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI GFCI?
Yes, a matching Ivory TP wall plate ships with every amperage option, and the test and reset buttons are Ivory to match the device face. If you are standardizing finishes across a building, that saves ordering plates separately.
10) How do I know when a self-test GFCI has failed and needs replacing?
The device runs an automatic internal test every three seconds. If protection is lost, the red LED trip indicator flashes, which is your signal to replace the device. On top of that, the SafeLock feature cuts power to the receptacle outright if critical internal components are damaged, so a dead outlet with no power is itself a fail-safe indication rather than a quiet loss of protection.
11) What is the short circuit and trip rating on the Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI?
10kA short circuit rating with a 0.025 second nominal trip time per the UL standard, at 125VAC 60 Hz, and it operates over a 102-132 VAC supply range. It also survived 100 times the UL 943 required 3kA/6kV surge test cycles, which matters on circuits that see nuisance tripping from surges.
12) I need a tamper-resistant GFCI but not in Ivory. What else is there?
The Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI and 2097-TRI are Ivory only. For other colors in a tamper-resistant GFCI, the Bryant HUBGFRTRW is a commercial-grade TR GFCI at 125VAC in 15A-20A, the Bryant GFRTR20W covers 20A/125V, and the Bryant HUBGFRTWBLK is a black commercial-grade unit that is both tamper- and weather-resistant for outdoor and damp locations.
13) If the location does not require tamper-resistant outlets, is there a cheaper self-test GFCI?
Where TR is not required by code, the Leviton SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCI in 15-Amp 125-Volt white is the non-tamper-resistant equivalent, and the Bryant GFRSTW is a commercial-grade self-test GFCI covering 15A-20A. The shutters on the Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI are what make it TR, so dropping that requirement opens up those options. Keep in mind dwelling-unit receptacles generally do have to be TR under the NEC.
14) Is the 1597-TRI a commercial-grade device, or should I spec a commercial GFCI?
If your drawing calls out a commercial-grade GFCI by grade, the Bryant GFRSTW is a commercial-grade self-test GFCI receptacle covering 15A-20A, and the Bryant HUBGFRTRW is a commercial-grade device that is also tamper-resistant. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI is cULus listed, FSUL listed to Federal Specification WC596, UL498, and Class A rated, with a 10kA short circuit rating and 0.025 sec nominal trip time, and is built for residential and light commercial wiring.
15) Can I use a GFNT1-DIN in place of the 1597-TRI in a wall box?
No. The Leviton GFNT1-DIN is a GFCI duplex receptacle outlet from the GFNT1 series configured for DIN mounting, which suits an equipment enclosure or panel rather than a standard device box. The Pass & Seymour 1597-TRI is a duplex wall device wired with two back-wire holes per terminal, side or internal screw-pressure-plate back wire for #10-#14 AWG solid or stranded copper, an Auto-Ground clip, and a supplied matching ivory TP wall plate.
