Pass & Seymour 1597 Series 125V Self-Test Tamper-Resistant GFCI Receptacle

The Pass & Seymour 1597 Series is a 125VAC Self-Test Tamper-Resistant GFCI Receptacle family, available in 15A (NEMA 5-15R) and 20A (NEMA 5-20R) configurations to match circuit requirements across residential and commercial installations. Every device in the series runs an automatic self-test every three seconds to confirm it is ready to protect, and if it fails, the red LED indicator flashes to signal replacement is needed while SafeLock™ Protection disconnects power to the receptacle if critical components are damaged and ground-fault protection is lost. Rated Class A with a 10kA short circuit rating and UL Listed to UL498, this GFCI meets National Electrical Code® Tamper-Resistant requirements and is FSUL Listed per Federal Specification WC596.

Key Features

  • Electrical Rating: 125VAC, 60 Hz with a Supply Voltage Range of 102-132 VAC, offered in 15A and 20A ratings (NEMA 5-15R / 5-20R) for reliable receptacle protection.
  • Feed-Thru Protection: 20 Amp feed-thru capacity allows the GFCI to protect downstream receptacles on the same circuit.
  • Durable Construction: High-impact-resistant thermoplastic housing with an extra-long strap for secure box mounting.
  • Fast Trip Response: 0.025 sec. nominal trip time per UL Standard with a Trip Threshold of 5 +/- 1 mA and 10kA short circuit rating.
  • Tamper-Resistant Shutters: Patented shutter system helps prevent improper insertion of foreign objects, meeting NEC Tamper-Resistant requirements.
  • Self-Test Monitoring: Automatic self-test every three seconds with a red LED trip indicator light and SafeLock™ Protection that disconnects power if protection is lost.
  • Flexible Wiring: Two back-wire holes per terminal with side or internal screw-pressure-plate back wire for #10-#14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire.

Pass & Seymour 1597-TRLA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI protect the other outlets downstream on the same circuit?
Yes. The 1597 Series has 20 amp feed-thru capacity, so wiring the downstream receptacles to the LOAD terminals puts them under the same ground-fault protection. It also has miswire protection: if line and load are reversed, power is cut to the face and to the downstream receptacles, so a bad hookup shows itself at rough-in instead of leaving an unprotected circuit.
2) Does this GFCI meet the NEC tamper-resistant requirement for dwelling unit outlets?
It does. The 1597 Series uses a patented shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects and meets National Electrical Code Tamper-Resistant requirements. That covers the TR obligation and the GFCI obligation in one device, which is what kitchen, bath and laundry circuits in dwellings typically call for.
3) I need a GFCI for a hospital exam room. Is the tamper-resistant Pass & Seymour 1597 the right pick?
No. The 1597 Series is a self-test tamper-resistant GFCI and no hospital grade designation is part of it. For patient care spaces where hospital grade is required, look at the Leviton GFNT1-HG, or the GFNT1-HGI in ivory, both of which we carry as Hospital Grade GFCI receptacles.
4) Is the Pass & Seymour 1597TRLA rated for a damp outdoor location under a cover?
The 1597 Series is specified as a self-test tamper-resistant GFCI in a high-impact-resistant thermoplastic housing for residential and commercial receptacle circuits such as kitchen, bath and laundry. Where the device itself must carry a weather-resistant rating, the Bryant HUBGFRTWBLK is a tamper- and weather-resistant commercial-grade GFCI receptacle at 125VAC in black. For exterior and damp-location circuits, specify the weather-resistant device with an appropriate enclosure.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 1597TRLA tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle?
The Bryant HUBGFRTRW is the nearest match from another manufacturer: a commercial-grade tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated 125VAC in 15A-20A, the same voltage and amperage span the Pass & Seymour 1597 Series covers with its 15A (5-15R) and 20A (5-20R) configurations. Both are duplex GFCI devices with tamper-resistant shutters, so either can be specified where the drawing calls for a 125V TR GFCI on a 15A or 20A circuit.
6) Do I need tamper-resistant GFCI outlets, or is there a non-TR version for a mechanical room?
The Pass & Seymour 1597 Series is tamper-resistant throughout, built to meet National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements with its patented shutter system. Where TR is not required by code for the space, the Leviton SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCI duplex receptacle in 15-Amp 125-Volt is a commercial-grade non-tamper-resistant alternative. Confirm the occupancy and code requirement for the room before dropping the shutters, since TR is mandated in dwelling-unit areas.
7) What wire size and termination does the 1597 GFCI accept?
#10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. There are two back-wire holes per terminal, and you can terminate with the side screws or the internal screw-pressure-plate back wire. Aluminum conductors are not among the stated options, so plan on copper.
8) What does the red LED on the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI mean, and how do I know when to replace it?
The device self-tests every three seconds to confirm it can still trip. If that test fails, the red LED flashes to tell you the receptacle needs replacing. SafeLock Protection goes a step further: if critical components are damaged and ground-fault protection is lost, it disconnects power to the receptacle, so a dead outlet is the signal rather than a live but unprotected one. For a property manager doing rounds, a flashing red light is a swap, not a reset.
9) What are the trip specs on the 1597 Series GFCI, and is it Class A?
Class A, with a trip threshold of 5 +/- 1 mA and a nominal trip time of 0.025 seconds per UL standard. Short circuit rating is 10kA. Supply voltage range is 102 to 132 VAC at 60 Hz, so it holds up on a circuit running at the low or high end of nominal.
10) What listings and approvals does the Pass & Seymour 1597TRLA GFCI carry for a spec job?
UL Listed to UL498 and cULus Listed, plus FSUL Listed per Federal Specification WC596, which is what federal and government work usually asks for. It also meets 2015 UL requirements and exceeds UL 943 voltage surge requirements.
11) What else could I use instead of the Pass & Seymour 1597 tamper-resistant GFCI?
Among tamper-resistant alternatives we stock, the Bryant HUBGFRTRW is a commercial-grade tamper-resistant GFCI at 125VAC in 15A and 20A, and the Bryant GFRTR20W is the 20A/125V tamper-resistant device from the GFRTR series if you only need the 20A face. The Bryant GFRSTW is self-test commercial grade in 15A-20A but is not described as tamper-resistant, so it will not satisfy a TR requirement.
12) I only need 20 amp GFCI outlets, not a mixed order of 15 and 20 amp. What are my options?
The Pass & Seymour 1597 Series covers 20A as the 2097-TRLA with a NEMA 5-20R face, so you can order that configuration alone. If you want a single-amperage device from another brand, the Bryant GFRTR20W is a tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle built specifically as 20A/125V in the GFRTR series. Both give you a 20A tamper-resistant GFCI; the Pass & Seymour version keeps you on one brand if the rest of the building is 1597 Series.
13) What should I use instead if the GFCI protection has to mount in a panel or enclosure rather than a wall box?
The Pass & Seymour 1597 Series is a duplex receptacle with an extra-long strap for mounting in a standard device box, so it is intended for a wall or floor box opening. For protection that mounts on a rail inside an enclosure, the Leviton GFNT1-DIN is a GFCI duplex receptacle outlet in the GFNT1 series configured for DIN mounting. That is the better fit for control panels and equipment cabinets where there is no device box.
14) The Bryant GFRSTW looks like a direct swap for the 1597TRLA. Is it?
Not quite. The Bryant GFRSTW is a commercial-grade self-test GFCI receptacle in 15A-20A, so it matches the 1597 Series on self-test operation and amperage coverage, but it is described as a self-test device without the tamper-resistant designation that the Bryant HUBGFRTRW carries. The Pass & Seymour 1597 Series is tamper-resistant in both its 15A and 20A configurations. If the opening requires TR shutters, compare against the tamper-resistant Bryant model rather than the GFRSTW.
15) Will the 1597TRLA fit a shallow or crowded outlet box?
The 1597 Series uses an extra-long strap for secure box mounting, and the two back-wire holes per terminal let you land conductors without fanning screws outward, which helps in a tight box. No box depth figure is part of the device rating, so on a remodel with a shallow old-work box, dry-fit before you commit the circuit.
