Pass & Seymour 1597 Series Self-Test Tamper-Resistant GFCI Receptacle, 15A/125V

The Pass & Seymour 1597 series is a Class A, 15A 125V self-test duplex GFCI receptacle engineered for code-compliant protection in wet and high-traffic locations. It performs an automatic self-test every three seconds and flashes its indicator light if the device ever fails, so it is always verified ready to protect. Backed by SafeLock protection, the receptacle disconnects power to the outlet if critical internal components are damaged and ground-fault protection is lost. This device is both Tamper-Resistant and Weather-Resistant per National Electrical Code requirements, Listed to the Weather-Resistant supplement of UL498, and cULus listed for added assurance on commercial and residential jobs. The 1597 series is available in Brown and Ivory finishes, so contractors can match device color to the surrounding device plates and finish package while retaining identical electrical performance across the family.

Pass & Seymour 1597-TRWRW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI be installed outdoors in a wet location?
Yes. The 1597 series is Weather-Resistant and listed to the Weather-Resistant supplement of UL498, which is what the NEC requires for receptacles in damp and wet locations. You still need a proper weatherproof in-use cover and box for the opening; the device listing covers the receptacle itself, not the enclosure.
2) Does the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI protect downstream outlets, and at what amperage?
It does. The 1597 has a 20 amp feed-thru wiring configuration, so you can run the LOAD terminals on to downstream receptacles and they fall under its ground-fault protection. The face is a 15A, 125V duplex, but the feed-thru path carries 20A, which matters when the GFCI sits first on a 20A branch circuit feeding other outlets.
3) Should I order the 15 amp or 20 amp version of the Pass & Seymour self-test GFCI?
Two devices are offered: the 15 amp 1597-TRWRW with a NEMA 5-15R face, and the 20 amp 2097-TRWRW with a NEMA 5-20R face. Match the device to the branch circuit and what gets plugged in. A 5-20R face accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs; a 5-15R will not take a 20A plug with its horizontal blade. On a 20A circuit serving a single receptacle, code generally requires the 20A device.
4) Does this Pass & Seymour GFCI meet the tamper-resistant requirement for dwelling units?
Yes. The 1597 is Tamper-Resistant per NEC requirements, using a patented shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects into the slots. It is tamper- and weather-resistant in the same device, which is the combination the NEC calls for on outdoor dwelling receptacles.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR if I need both tamper-resistant and weather-resistant GFCI protection?
The Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR is a tamper-resistant, weather-resistant self-test GFCI rated 15A/125V. The closest cross-brand match is the Bryant HUBGFRTWBLK, a tamper- and weather-resistant commercial-grade GFCI receptacle rated 125VAC, offered in black. Both carry tamper- and weather-resistant construction for outdoor and damp-location boxes; the Bryant is specified as commercial grade, while the Pass & Seymour 1597 family is offered in Brown and Ivory to match existing device runs.
6) I need a 20A tamper-resistant GFCI instead of 15A. What are my options?
Pass & Seymour covers 20A in the same family with the 2097-TRWRW, a 20 ampere NEMA 5-20R version of the self-test tamper- and weather-resistant GFCI. A cross-brand alternative is the Bryant GFRTR20W, a tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated 20A/125V in the GFRTR series. The Pass & Seymour 20A device carries the weather-resistant listing as well, while the Bryant GFRTR20W is specified as tamper-resistant.
7) Can I use the Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR in a hospital patient-care area?
The Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR is a Class A self-test GFCI listed to UL498 including the weather-resistant supplement and cULus listed. If the specification calls for a hospital-grade device, use a receptacle carrying that grade, such as the Leviton GFNT1-HG or the ivory GFNT1-HGI, both hospital grade GFCI receptacles.
8) What looks like a substitute for the 1597TRWR but is not rated for outdoor use?
The Bryant HUBGFRTRW commercial tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle, 125VAC, and the Bryant GFRSTW commercial-grade self-test GFCI both cover 15A-20A and resemble the Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR, but they are specified as tamper-resistant and self-test respectively without the weather-resistant designation. The Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR is listed to the weather-resistant supplement of UL498 and meets NEC weather-resistant requirements, which is what a damp or wet exterior location calls for.
9) What wire size do the terminals on the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI accept?
Side screws or internal screw-pressure-plate back-wire terminals, both taking #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. There are two back-wire holes per terminal, so pigtailing or feeding through is straightforward, and the ground uses a back-wire screw clamp. The thermoplastic body is thinner than competing GFCIs, which helps when you are stuffing a crowded box.
10) What does self-test actually do on the Pass & Seymour 1597, and how do I know when to replace it?
The device runs an automatic internal test every three seconds. If it fails that test, the indicator light flashes, telling you the unit needs replacement. SafeLock protection goes further: if critical internal components are damaged and ground-fault protection is lost, power to the receptacle face is disconnected rather than left live and unprotected. For a property manager, that means a dead or flashing outlet is the signal to swap the device, not to reset it.
11) Is the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI acceptable on a commercial job, and how does it compare to other self-test GFCIs?
It is Class A, cULus listed and listed to UL498 including the weather-resistant supplement, with a 10kA short circuit rating, which covers typical commercial and residential branch circuits. Among alternatives, the Bryant GFRSTW is a commercial-grade self-test unit covering 15A to 20A, and the Bryant HUBGFRTWBLK is a commercial-grade tamper- and weather-resistant GFCI in black if the spec calls for black devices. The Leviton SmartlockPro GFNT1 self-test is commercial grade but non-tamper-resistant, so it will not satisfy a TR requirement.
12) I need a GFCI receptacle for a patient care area. Will the Pass & Seymour 1597 work?
No. The 1597 is not a hospital grade device. For patient care spaces where hospital grade is required, look at the Leviton GFNT1-HG, or the GFNT1-HGI in ivory if the finish needs to match existing ivory devices.
13) The box is indoors and tamper-resistant shutters are not required. Is there a simpler GFCI than the 1597TRWR?
Yes. The Leviton SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCI duplex receptacle, 15-Amp 125-Volt, is a non-tamper-resistant commercial-grade device in white and suits indoor locations where NEC tamper-resistance is not required. The Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR adds a patented shutter system meeting NEC tamper-resistant requirements plus the UL498 weather-resistant supplement listing, which matters for wet and child-occupied locations.
14) I need GFCI protection on a DIN rail, not in a wall box. Will the 1597TRWR work?
No. The Pass & Seymour 1597TRWR is a duplex wall-box receptacle with side and back-wire pressure-plate terminals. For a rail-mounted application, the Leviton GFNT1-DIN GFCI duplex receptacle outlet is the device in the GFNT1 series built for that mounting arrangement.
15) What color options does the Pass & Seymour 1597 self-test GFCI come in?
Brown and Ivory, with identical electrical performance either way, so you can match an existing device run and wallplate package without changing how the circuit behaves. If the job specifies white or black devices, you would need a different line.
16) Will the Pass & Seymour 1597 GFCI hold up to voltage surges and nuisance tripping on a 125V circuit?
Its supply voltage range is 102 to 132 VAC at 60Hz with a nominal trip time of 0.025 seconds per UL standard, and it exceeds UL 943 surge requirements, surviving 100 times the required 3kA/6kV surge test cycles. Short circuit rating is 10kA. That combination is why it is specified for outdoor and garage circuits where surges are common.
17) If I want one GFCI part number that covers both 15A and 20A circuits, what should I look at?
Pass & Seymour splits the 1597 family by amperage: the 1597-TRWRW is 15 ampere with a NEMA 5-15R face and the 2097-TRWRW is 20 ampere with a NEMA 5-20R face. If a single catalog item spanning both is preferred, the Bryant GFRSTW commercial-grade self-test GFCI and the Bryant HUBGFRTRW commercial tamper-resistant GFCI are each listed across 15A-20A.
