  • Durable Construction: High-impact-resistant thermoplastic housing built to withstand jobsite handling and long-term use.
  • Back-Wire Connection: Side or internal screw-pressure-plate back wire accepts #10-#14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire, with two back-wire holes per terminal for flexible installation.
  • Short-Circuit Rating: 10kA short circuit rating combined with a 0.025 sec. nominal trip time per UL Standard for fast, dependable interruption.
  • Self-Test & SafeLock™ Protection: Conducts an automatic test every three seconds; the indicator light flashes if the device fails, and SafeLock™ disconnects power to the receptacle if critical components are damaged and protection is lost.

Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWRI – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 20A GFCI receptacle like the 2097-TRWR work on a 15 amp circuit?
The 2097-TRWR is a NEMA 5-20R device rated 20A at 125VAC. The 5-20R face has the T-slot that accepts both 15A and 20A plugs, so it will physically serve any 125V cord cap. But a 20A receptacle should be fed by a 20A circuit per the NEC; on a 15A branch circuit use a 15A GFCI instead. If you need a 15A device, the Leviton SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCI is a 15-amp 125-volt option.
2) What wire size does the 2097-TRWR accept, and can I back-wire it?
Terminals take #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. You can land the conductor under the side screws or use the internal screw-pressure-plate back wire, which has two back-wire holes per terminal, so a feed-thru splice can be made at the device without pigtails. The ground screw also has a back-wire clamp.
3) Does this GFCI protect the downstream receptacles on the same circuit?
Yes, if you wire it feed-thru. The 2097-TRWR has a 20A feed-thru capacity, so the load terminals carry protection to the outlets downstream. It also guards against line-load reversal: if the feed is landed on the load side, the device cuts power to its own face and to the downstream outlets rather than sitting there unprotected.
4) If the receptacle is indoors and does not need weather resistance, is there a simpler GFCI to use instead of the 2097-TRWR?
Yes. The Bryant GFRTR20W is a tamper-resistant GFCI receptacle rated 20A/125V without the weather-resistant designation, and the Bryant HUBGFRTRW is a commercial tamper-resistant GFCI at 125VAC covering 15A-20A. Both drop the weather-resistant construction that the 2097-TRWR carries, which is listed to the Weather-Resistant supplement of UL498 including ultraviolet exposure, cold impact, and accelerated aging. For a dry indoor kitchen or bath circuit, the tamper-resistant-only devices meet the code requirement; for damp or wet outdoor locations you want the 2097-TRWR.
5) What is the closest weather-resistant GFCI equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR from another brand?
The Bryant HUBGFRTWBLK is the nearest match: it is a tamper- and weather-resistant commercial-grade GFCI receptacle rated 125VAC, in black. The 2097-TRWR is also both weather-resistant and tamper-resistant, rated 20A at 125VAC in a NEMA 5-20R configuration, and it comes in Black, Brown, Gray, Ivory, and Light Almond. If the opening needs a color other than black, the 2097-TRWR covers the range; if black is all the job calls for, the Bryant device is a direct functional peer.
6) We need a GFCI for a patient care area - will the 2097-TRWR work or do we need something else?
For patient care spaces use a hospital grade device. The Leviton GFNT1-HG is a hospital grade GFCI receptacle, and the GFNT1-HGI is the same hospital grade device in ivory. The Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR is a spec-grade GFCI rated 20A at 125VAC with weather- and tamper-resistant construction, suited to commercial and residential work including wet and damp outdoor locations, but it is not a hospital grade listing. Specify the Leviton hospital grade units where the facility requires that designation.
7) Is the Leviton SmartlockPro self-test GFCI a substitute for the Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR?
They are not interchangeable on every opening. The Leviton SmartlockPro self-test GFCI duplex is a 15-amp 125-volt commercial-grade device and is non-tamper-resistant, in white. The Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR is 20A at 125VAC in a NEMA 5-20R configuration and is both tamper-resistant and weather-resistant. Both perform an automatic self-test. If the circuit is a 20A branch requiring a 5-20R face, or the location requires tamper-resistant and weather-resistant devices, the 2097-TRWR is the one that fits; the Leviton suits a 15A non-TR application.
8) What does self-test actually do on the Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR, and what happens if it fails?
The device runs an automatic ground-fault test every three seconds. If it fails the test, the indicator light flashes. SafeLock protection goes a step further: if critical internal components are damaged and protection is lost, it disconnects power to the receptacle so you cannot keep using an unprotected outlet. For a maintenance crew that means a dead or flashing outlet is the signal to swap the device.
9) Is the 2097-TRWR tamper-resistant enough for a school or daycare circuit?
It meets the National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirement, using a patented shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects into the slots. Combined with the weather-resistant listing, one part number covers both the TR and WR requirements, which is useful when standardizing a facility instead of stocking separate TR and WR devices.
10) What colors does the Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR come in, and does it include a wall plate?
Five colors: Black (2097-TRWRBK), Brown (2097-TRWR), Gray (2097-TRWRGRY), Ivory (2097-TRWRI), and Light Almond (2097-TRWRLA). Each ships with a matching TP wall plate, so you are not ordering plates separately to match an existing finish scheme. Electrical performance and construction are identical across all five.
11) Will the 2097-TRWR ground properly in an old metal box without a ground wire run to the device?
It has an Auto-Ground clip that bonds the strap to a grounded metal box, plus an extra-long strap and captive mounting screws in both the device and the plate. If the metal box itself is properly grounded, the clip makes the connection. The device also has a ground screw with a back-wire clamp if you are landing an equipment ground conductor directly.
12) How does the Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR compare to Bryant and Leviton GFCI receptacles?
The 2097-TRWR is a spec-grade self-test device that is both tamper- and weather-resistant, 20A/125VAC NEMA 5-20R. Bryant's GFRTW (HUBGFRTWBLK) is the closest cross: a commercial-grade tamper- and weather-resistant GFCI at 125VAC. Bryant GFRTR20W is 20A/125V tamper-resistant. If you only need self-test without TR, the Bryant GFRSTW is a commercial-grade self-test unit covering 15A-20A. For patient-care areas, Leviton's GFNT1-HG and GFNT1-HGI are hospital grade, which the Pass & Seymour device is not described as.
13) We mount GFCI protection on a DIN rail in equipment panels - can we use the 2097-TRWR?
No. The 2097-TRWR is a duplex device built for standard wall box mounting, with an extra-long strap, captive mounting screws, and an Auto-Ground clip for grounding to a metal box. For DIN rail work the Leviton GFNT1-DIN is the GFCI duplex receptacle outlet in the GFNT1 series intended for that mounting method. Keep the 2097-TRWR for wall boxes where the 20A, 125VAC, weather- and tamper-resistant spec is what the location calls for.
14) What is the trip time and short-circuit rating on this GFCI?
Class A ground-fault protection with a nominal trip time of 0.025 second per the UL standard, and a 10kA short-circuit rating. It also survived 100 times the UL 943 required 3kA/6kV voltage surge test cycles, which matters on exterior and garage circuits that see surge activity.
15) Is the Pass & Seymour 2097-TRWR acceptable on a federal or government spec job?
It carries Federal Spec Number WC596 and is UL Listed to UL498 as well as cULus Listed, which is typically what a government or institutional submittal package asks for on a wiring device. Note it is not CSA listed. Country of origin is China.
