Pass & Seymour 2097 Self-Test GFCI Receptacle, 20A 125V

The Pass & Seymour 2097 Self-Test GFCI Receptacle is a Spec-Grade, 20A, 125VAC duplex ground-fault circuit interrupter built for reliable code-compliant protection. It runs an automatic self-test every three seconds, so it is always verified ready to protect — if the device fails the test, the red LED indicator flashes to signal replacement is needed. Rated for feed-thru wiring at 20A with a NEMA 5-20R configuration, it is UL Listed and cULus certified for professional installations where dependable ground-fault protection is required. This device is available in Black, Gray, Ivory, Standard, and White face finishes, all sharing the same electrical ratings and Class A GFCI performance.

Key Features

  • Self-Test Technology: Conducts an automatic test every three seconds, ensuring the device is always ready to protect; the indicator light flashes if the GFCI fails the test and needs replacement.
  • SafeLock™ Protection: If critical components are damaged and protection is lost, power to the receptacle is automatically disconnected.
  • Electrical Rating: 20 Amp feed-thru capacity at 125VAC, 60Hz, with a Supply Voltage Range of 102-132 VAC for dependable performance.
  • Feed-Thru Wiring Configuration: Protects downstream receptacles and prevents line-load reversal miswire — no power to the face or downstream devices if wired incorrectly.
  • Durable Construction: High-impact-resistant thermoplastic housing with an extra-long strap and Auto-Ground clip for a positive ground to metal boxes.
  • Easy Wiring: Side or internal screw-pressure-plate back-wire terminals accept #10-#14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire, with two back-wire holes per terminal and a ground screw back-wire clamp; mounting screws ship captive in the device and wall plate.
  • Trip Performance: Trip Threshold of 5 +/-1 mA with a nominal Trip Time of 0.025 sec. per UL Standard, a 10kA short circuit rating, and Class A GFCI rating.
  • Included Wall Plate: Supplied with a matching TP wall plate in the selected finish; dual-direction test and reset buttons are color-matched to the device face.

Pass & Seymour 2097-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pass & Seymour 2097 GFCI accept a 20 amp straight-blade plug, or is it a 15 amp face?
The 2097 has a NEMA 5-20R face, so it takes both 15 amp parallel-blade plugs and 20 amp T-slot plugs at 125V. It is rated 20A, 125VAC, 60Hz. If the circuit is 15 amp and you only need 15 amp receptacles, a 5-15R GFCI is the usual choice instead.
2) Can I use the 2097 GFCI to protect the downstream outlets on the same circuit?
Yes. The 2097 is wired feed-thru at its full 20A rating, so receptacles downstream on the load side are GFCI protected from this device. It also blocks line-load reversal miswire: get the feeds backwards and there is no power at the face or downstream, which tells you immediately before you close the wall up.
3) What wire size do the terminals on this Pass & Seymour GFCI take, and can I back-wire it?
Terminals accept #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. You can side-wire the screws or use the internal screw-pressure-plate back-wire terminals, with two back-wire holes per terminal, plus a back-wire clamp on the ground screw. Handy on a crowded box where you are pigtailing several conductors.
4) How do I know when a self-test GFCI like the 2097 needs replacing?
The 2097 runs an automatic self-test every three seconds. If it fails that test, the red LED flashes, which is your signal the device is done and needs swapping. Separately, SafeLock protection cuts power to the receptacle outright if critical components are damaged and ground-fault protection is lost, so a dead device never pretends to be protecting the circuit.
5) Is this GFCI listed for commercial work and does it meet federal spec?
The 2097 is UL Listed and cULus certified, meets the 2015 UL requirements under UL498, and is FSUL Listed to Federal Specification WC596. Trip threshold is 5 +/-1 mA with a nominal trip time of 0.025 sec per UL standard, a Class A GFCI, with a 10kA short circuit rating. It also survived 100x the required UL 943 3kA/6kV surge test cycles.
6) If an outlet does not need ground-fault protection, what 20A 125V receptacle can go in instead of the Pass & Seymour 2097?
The Pass & Seymour 2097 is a GFCI receptacle rated 20A at 125V with a NEMA 5-20R configuration. For an opening where GFCI protection is not required, the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex receptacle rated 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R, and the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle. Both are straight blade devices with no ground-fault sensing, test button, or reset button, so they cannot be used where the circuit requires GFCI protection.
7) I need more than two outlets at one box on a 20A circuit. Is there an alternative to the Pass & Seymour 2097?
The Pass & Seymour 2097 is a duplex GFCI, so it gives two outlets at the box. The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle in NEMA 5-20R rated 20A, which gives four outlets in one assembly but has no ground-fault protection. On a circuit that must be GFCI protected, a common approach is to feed the quad from the load side of a GFCI device, since the 2097 is wired feed-thru at 20A to protect downstream receptacles.
8) Can the Pass & Seymour 2097 be used on a 277V or 250V circuit?
No. The Pass & Seymour 2097 is rated 125V with a supply voltage range of 102-132 VAC, so it is a 120V-nominal device only. For higher voltage work, the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle and the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black. Those are different blade patterns and are not interchangeable with a 5-20R opening.
9) Do I need to buy a wall plate separately for the 2097 GFCI?
No. Each 2097 ships with a matching TP wall plate in the color you order, and the mounting screws come captive in both the device and the plate. The test and reset buttons are color matched to the face, so the finished opening reads as one color.
10) What colors does the Pass & Seymour 2097 self-test GFCI come in?
Five faces: Black (2097-BK), Gray (2097-GRY), Ivory (2097-I), White (2097-W), and Standard (2097PC2A). All five share the same 20A 125V rating and Class A GFCI performance, so color is purely a match decision against the other devices and plates in the building.
11) Will the 2097 ground properly in an old metal box if the plate screws are my only ground path?
It is built for that. The 2097 has an extra-long strap with an Auto-Ground clip that makes a positive ground to a metal box through the mounting screw, so you do not depend on a bonding jumper being present in an older box. The housing is high-impact-resistant thermoplastic with a matte face.
12) Is the 2097 GFCI suitable for a patient care area in a healthcare facility?
The 2097 is a Spec-Grade GFCI; it is not identified as hospital grade. Where a patient care space calls for a hospital grade device, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle. Use the 2097 for the bathroom, kitchen, wet bar, damp location and general commercial circuits where ground-fault protection is the requirement.
13) Will the Pass & Seymour 2097 work for a wet industrial or hazardous location outlet?
The Pass & Seymour 2097 is a thermoplastic-bodied GFCI for standard device boxes at 20A 125V and is used on wet bar, kitchen, bathroom, and damp location circuits with GFCI protection. It is not an explosionproof or factory-sealed device. For classified areas, the Appleton FSQC series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS set is a factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle, 3-pole. Those use cast enclosures and interlocked or sealed plug assemblies rather than a flush duplex face.
14) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 2097 GFCI and the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus receptacle?
The Pass & Seymour 2097 is a self-test GFCI receptacle with a thermoplastic body, rated 20A 125V, NEMA 5-20R, and cULus listed. The Leviton 16342 is a Decora Plus commercial grade duplex receptacle, also 20-amp 125-volt NEMA 5-20R, in white. They share the amperage, voltage, and blade configuration, so a cord cap plugs into either, but the 16342 is a standard duplex device without ground-fault protection and uses the Decora rectangular opening wall plate rather than a GFCI faceplate.
15) Is a 15A receptacle an acceptable substitute for the Pass & Seymour 2097?
Only if the circuit and the load allow it. The Pass & Seymour 2097 is rated 20A at 125V with a NEMA 5-20R face, which accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs. The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex rated 15A 125V in a 5-15R configuration, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. Neither will accept a 20A plug, and neither provides ground-fault protection.
16) Our spec calls for a single receptacle, not a duplex. What takes the place of the Pass & Seymour 2097?
The Pass & Seymour 2097 is a duplex GFCI device at 20A 125V. If the drawing calls for a single outlet, the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. Both are single-outlet straight blade devices without GFCI sensing, so a GFCI breaker or an upstream GFCI would be needed to protect the circuit.
17) For a property with ivory devices throughout, how does the Pass & Seymour 2097 compare to the Bryant 5362BI?
Both are 20A/125V duplex devices available in ivory, so the faces match on a wall of ivory devices. The Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty duplex receptacle; the Pass & Seymour 2097 in ivory, part number 2097-I, is a self-test GFCI with test and reset buttons on the face and a matching wall plate supplied in the selected finish. Because the GFCI buttons occupy the center of the device, the 2097 takes a GFCI/decorator-style plate rather than the standard duplex plate used with the 5362BI.
18) What voltage range will this GFCI still operate across on a long or loaded branch circuit?
Supply voltage range on the 2097 is 102 to 132 VAC, nominal 125V. That covers normal sag on a long run or a heavily loaded panel without the device dropping out.
