Pass & Seymour 2097-TR Spec-Grade Tamper-Resistant 20A Self-Test Duplex GFCI Receptacle

The Pass & Seymour 2097-TR Spec-Grade Tamper-Resistant 20A Self-Test Duplex GFCI Receptacle is a Class A rated, 125VAC, 20A feed-thru device built for code-required ground-fault protection in commercial and residential settings. This device is available in Black and Brown finishes so installers can match the receptacle to the surrounding device plate or wall finish, while every color option shares the same electrical performance and safety features. It conducts an automatic self-test every three seconds and flashes its indicator light if it ever fails, so it's always ready to protect, and its SafeLock™ Protection feature cuts power to the receptacle if critical components are damaged. Rated NEMA 5-20R and UL Listed / cULus, it meets National Electrical Code® Tamper-Resistant requirements and 2015 UL requirements.

Pass & Seymour 2097-TR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size and wiring method does the 2097-TR GFCI accept?
Side screws or the internal screw-pressure-plate back wire, both taking #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. There are two back-wire holes per terminal, a ground screw back-wire clamp, and an Auto-Ground clip that grounds the device to a metal box. The strap is extra long for a thinner body profile, which leaves more room for conductors in a crowded box, useful when you're putting a 20A GFCI in an older shallow box.
2) Does this Pass & Seymour GFCI meet the NEC tamper-resistant requirement for dwelling units?
Yes. The 2097-TR has a patented tamper-resistant shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects and meets National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements, so it can be used where TR receptacles are mandated. It is also UL Listed and cULus, built to UL498, and carries Federal Specification WC596.
3) Can I install this GFCI outdoors or in a damp location?
The 2097-TR is tamper-resistant but not listed as weather-resistant, so for exterior or damp-location boxes you want a WR-rated device. Bryant's HUBGFRTWBLK is a tamper- and weather-resistant commercial-grade GFCI at 125VAC in black, which covers that application. Use the 2097-TR for interior wet-location points such as kitchen and bathroom counters.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 2097-TR from another brand for a 20A tamper-resistant GFCI?
The Bryant GFRTR20W is a tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated 20A/125V, which matches the 2097-TR's 20A, 125V NEMA 5-20R configuration. Both are duplex GFCI devices with tamper-resistant shutters, so either will satisfy a code-required TR GFCI point on a 20A branch circuit. The 2097-TR adds self-test every three seconds with a flashing failure indicator and SafeLock protection, so if the spec on the drawing calls out a self-testing device, confirm that before swapping.
5) The 2097-TR is going in an outdoor in-use cover on a job site - is there a better choice?
For an outdoor or damp-location opening, the Bryant HUBGFRTWBLK is a tamper-resistant AND weather-resistant commercial-grade GFCI rated 125VAC, supplied in black. The Pass & Seymour 2097-TR is a 125V, 20A tamper-resistant device with a high-impact thermoplastic housing and is described for kitchens, bathrooms and wet-location outlets; where the drawing calls out a WR-marked device for an exterior wall, the weather-resistant Bryant part is the one that carries that marking.
6) What does the self-test feature on the 2097-TR actually do, and how do I know when it needs replacing?
The device runs an automatic ground-fault test on itself every three seconds. If it fails that test, the indicator light flashes, which is the signal to replace the receptacle. SafeLock Protection goes a step further and cuts power to the receptacle outright if critical internal components are damaged, so a dead outlet is the fail-safe rather than an outlet with no protection. For property managers, that flashing indicator is the maintenance cue instead of relying on tenants pressing the test button monthly.
7) What happens if the 2097-TR is wired line and load backwards?
It has miswire protection. Reverse the line and load connections and the device cuts power to its own face and to the downstream receptacles, so the mistake shows up immediately at rough-in inspection rather than leaving a circuit unprotected. A red LED trip indicator is built into the face.
8) Is the Pass & Seymour 2097-TR a Class A GFCI, and what is its trip threshold?
Class A, with a trip threshold of 5 +/- 1 mA and a nominal trip time of 0.025 seconds per the UL standard. That is the personnel-protection level required at kitchen, bathroom and wet-location outlets. It carries a 10kA short circuit rating and has survived 100 times the UL 943 3kA/6kV surge test cycles.
9) What colors does the 2097-TR come in, and how do I order the black one?
Two colors. Brown is part number 2097-TR and black is 2097-TRBK. Electrical performance, ratings and the tamper-resistant shutters are identical between them, so pick on the wallplate and wall finish you are matching.
10) I need a self-testing GFCI but not necessarily tamper-resistant - what else works?
The Bryant GFRSTW is a commercial-grade self-test GFCI receptacle covering 15A-20A, so it gives you the automatic self-test function without the tamper-resistant shutter system. The Pass & Seymour 2097-TR combines both: self-test every three seconds plus the patented tamper-resistant shutters that meet National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements. In dwelling units and most areas where the NEC requires TR receptacles, the shuttered device is the one to install.
11) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 2097-TR and the Bryant HUBGFRTRW?
The Bryant HUBGFRTRW is a commercial-grade tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated 125VAC and covering 15A-20A applications. The Pass & Seymour 2097-TR is a spec-grade tamper-resistant device fixed at 20A, 125V in a NEMA 5-20R face, built to UL498 with cULus listing, and it self-tests every three seconds with a flashing indicator if it fails. Both are 125V tamper-resistant duplex GFCIs; the decision usually comes down to whether the specification requires the self-test and SafeLock features.
12) Can I use a 15A GFCI instead of the 2097-TR on a 20A circuit?
Not interchangeably for every opening. The Pass & Seymour 2097-TR is a 20A device with a NEMA 5-20R face, which accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P cord caps and is what a 20A single-receptacle or spec-grade 20A requirement calls for. Bryant devices such as the GFRSTW and HUBGFRTRW are catalogued across 15A-20A applications, so verify the amperage marking on the specific device you receive matches the branch circuit and the receptacle configuration on the drawing before installing it.
13) Is the 2097-TR body tough enough for a commercial corridor or a rental turnover?
The housing is high-impact-resistant thermoplastic and the device is spec grade, built to UL498 and Federal Spec WC596, which is the level specified for commercial work rather than builder-grade residential. Supply voltage range is 102-132 VAC, so it tolerates normal line variation on a loaded building feed.
14) I need black GFCI receptacles to match existing devices - what are my options?
The Pass & Seymour 2097-TRBK is the black version of the 20A tamper-resistant self-test GFCI, with the brown 2097-TR sharing identical electrical performance. If the opening is exterior or damp and you still need black, the Bryant HUBGFRTRWBLK is a tamper- and weather-resistant commercial-grade GFCI supplied in black at 125VAC. Both give you a dark device face for matching surrounding wiring devices and plates.
15) Where is the Pass & Seymour 2097-TR made?
Country of origin is China. For agency documentation it is UL Listed and cULus, built to UL498, and FSUL Listed to Federal Specification WC596, which is what most institutional submittals ask for.
