Pass & Seymour 26252-I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pass & Seymour 26252I fit a standard decorator wall plate?
Yes. The 26252I has a nylon decorator face that fits standard #26 opening wall plates, so any decorator/rocker-style plate will cover it. If your existing plates are the older duplex-style with two round openings, you'll need to swap them for decorator plates.
2) Can I wire the 26252I from the back instead of wrapping conductors around the side screws?
Both methods work. The 26252I is a back and side wire device, with tri-drive terminal and mounting screws, so you can insert conductors through the back wire terminals or loop them under the side screws. Terminal compartments are isolated from one another for conductor containment.
3) I need a 20A receptacle instead of the 15A 26252I - what should I use?
The 26252I is rated 15A 125V, so for a 20A branch circuit requiring a 5-20R device, step to a 20A part. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, and the 5362BI is the same 20A/125V heavy-duty device in ivory if you are matching the 26252I ivory color. For a 20A decorator-style face, the Leviton Decora Plus 16342 is a 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex in white.
4) Can the Pass & Seymour 26252I be used in a patient care area of a hospital?
The 26252I is a spec-grade commercial and light industrial device; it is not a hospital grade receptacle. Where hospital grade is required, use a device listed as such - the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, supplied in packs of 100 for facility-wide standardization.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 26252I from another brand?
The 26252I is a heavy-duty spec-grade duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V. The nearest cross-brand match on rating and grade is the Eaton Arrow Hart heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle, 15A 125V, 5-15R, which Eaton lists as industrial specification grade and offers in gray. The 26252I is a decorator (rectangular) face in ivory, so if the job needs decorator-style wall plates the Eaton straight-blade duplex will not match the plate opening.
6) Do I need a separate grounding pigtail with this receptacle in a metal box?
The 26252I has an auto-ground clip that makes a positive ground connection to a grounded metal box through the mounting screw. Its strap is corrosion-resistant plated steel locked into the assembly so it won't bend away from the body. In nonmetallic boxes, you still bond the equipment ground conductor to the green terminal.
7) Can I use the 26252I for a split-circuit outlet with a switched top half?
Yes. It has a break-off line-contact connecting tab that you snap out to separate the two halves, letting you feed the top and bottom receptacles from different circuits or put one half on a switch leg.
8) Is this receptacle rated for an unheated garage or a cold warehouse?
Yes. The 26252I operates continuously from -40C to +60C, and sees a maximum 30C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150% of rated current with direct current. That covers unconditioned commercial and light industrial spaces.
9) How much box depth do I need for the 26252I?
The device body measures 2.635 in height, 1.322 in width and 0.78 in depth, so it's a shallow standard duplex body that fits a normal single-gang box. Plan your conductor volume for the box, not the device.
10) Is there a lighter-duty option than the Pass & Seymour 26252I for a 15A commercial outlet?
The 26252I is a heavy-duty spec-grade 15A 125V device. For a 15A opening where commercial specification grade is sufficient, the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A - note it is a single receptacle, not a duplex, so it provides one outlet instead of the two the 26252I provides.
11) I need more than two outlets at one box - what replaces the 26252I?
The 26252I is a duplex device, giving two outlets per yoke. Where four outlets are needed at a single location, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A. Because it is a 5-20R configuration it belongs on a 20A circuit, not on the 15A circuit the 26252I serves.
12) Which of these receptacles look like substitutes for the 26252I but are not?
Several are different device classes entirely. The Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC, which takes a twist-lock plug rather than the straight-blade plugs the 15A 125V 26252I accepts. The Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. The Appleton FSQC series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle for classified areas, and the Appleton U-Line ECS is a factory-sealed 3-pole plug and receptacle set. None of these drop into a standard #26 opening wall plate the way the 26252I does.
13) How does the 26252I compare to Leviton commercial grade straight blade receptacles?
The Pass & Seymour 26252I is a spec-grade decorator duplex, 15A 125V, with a nylon impact-resistant face in ivory and cULus Listing. The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex rated 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R. The straight-blade Leviton faces take standard duplex wall plates rather than the #26 decorator opening the 26252I uses.
14) What color is the 26252I and will it match existing ivory devices?
Ivory, on an impact-resistant nylon face. The -I suffix in the 26252I part number is the ivory designation, so it will match other ivory decorator devices and ivory #26 opening plates on the same wall.
15) Do the brass contacts hold a plug tightly over time in high-use areas?
Plug retention comes from one-piece brass triple-wipe power contacts, which keep three points of contact on each blade for lasting retention. That's the spec-grade construction difference versus a residential device in corridors, breakrooms, and tenant spaces with frequent plug cycling.
16) I want a decorator-style single receptacle instead of the duplex 26252I - what is available?
The 26252I is a decorator duplex. For one outlet in the same decorator face style, the Eaton heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepts #14-10 AWG conductors. The 26252I also has a break-off line-contact tab for split-circuit wiring, a feature a single receptacle does not need.
