Pass & Seymour 3801 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Pass & Seymour 3801 receptacle accept a NEMA 6-30 plug from my welder or HVAC unit?
Yes, as long as the plug is a NEMA 6-30P. The Pass & Seymour 3801 is a 6-30R straight blade configuration rated 30A at 250V. A 6-30 plug has two straight hot blades and a ground pin, no neutral, so it only mates with 6-30R. If your equipment cord ends in a 6-50P (50A), a 10-30P (older 3-wire dryer), or a locking L6-30P, it will not go in and you need the matching device instead.
2) Is the 3801 a 3-wire receptacle with a neutral, or hot-hot-ground?
Hot, hot, ground. The 3801 is a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding device: two ungrounded conductors at 250V between them plus an equipment ground. There is no neutral terminal, so it cannot supply any 120V load in the equipment. If the appliance needs both 240V and 120V (some ranges and dryers), you need a 4-wire configuration such as 14-30R, not this device.
3) I need a 30A 240V outlet but my equipment cord is a twist-lock. Is the 3801 still the right device?
No. The 3801 is a straight blade 6-30R, so a twist-lock cord cap will not engage it. For locking connections you want a locking receptacle instead, such as the Bryant 70520FR flanged locking receptacle or, for higher current, the Eaton industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V. Locking devices are the usual pick where vibration or accidental unplugging is a concern.
4) Can the Pass & Seymour 3801 be installed in a hazardous or classified area?
The Pass & Seymour 3801 is a flush-mount straight blade receptacle carrying CSA, UL and cULus listings for standard commercial and industrial wiring; it is not an explosionproof device. For classified locations, the Appleton FSQC Series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle, and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set is a 3-pole assembly. Those Appleton devices use their own enclosures and fittings rather than a standard flush wall box.
5) If the equipment cord ends in a twist-lock plug instead of straight blades, what receptacle should be used in place of the Pass & Seymour 3801?
The Pass & Seymour 3801 is a straight blade 6-30R device rated 30A at 250V, so a cord cap with locking blades will not engage it. For a locking connection at higher current, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black. The Bryant 70520FR from the 7 Series is a NEMA flanged locking receptacle, which mounts to equipment or a housing rather than sitting flush in a wall box. Confirm the NEMA configuration stamped on the plug before choosing between them.
6) What size breaker and wire does a 6-30R outlet like the 3801 need?
The 3801 is rated 30A at 250V, so it belongs on a 2-pole 30A breaker fed by a 240V circuit with two hots and an equipment ground. Standard practice for a 30A branch circuit is 10 AWG copper. Do not put it on a 50A breaker to serve a larger machine, and do not land a neutral on it, the device has no neutral terminal.
7) Is the Pass & Seymour 3801 a single outlet or a duplex?
Single. The 3801 is a single flush-mount receptacle in black, one 6-30R outlet on the strap. It is the standard way 30A 240V devices are built, since the circuit is sized for one piece of equipment.
8) Will the 3801 fit a standard electrical box, and does it need a special cover plate?
It mounts flush in standard electrical boxes, with an overall profile of 3.75 x 2.5 x 2.2 inches. Because of the box depth needed for 10 AWG conductors, a deep single-gang or 4-inch square box with a mud ring is the practical choice. Plan on a single-gang plate with the 6-30R opening, not a standard duplex plate, the blade pattern is different.
9) Is the Pass & Seymour 3801 approved for use in Canada as well as the US?
Yes. The 3801 carries CSA, UL, and cULus listings, and the cULus mark covers both US and Canadian requirements, which matters for inspection on cross-border commercial and industrial jobs.
10) For a single-outlet 125V circuit feeding one dedicated piece of equipment, what is comparable to the Pass & Seymour 3801?
The Pass & Seymour 3801 is a single flush receptacle, meaning one outlet per device, but it is configured 6-30R at 30A 250V. If the circuit is 125V and you want the same one-device-per-outlet arrangement, the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, and the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. Both are single outlets like the 3801 rather than duplex.
11) Is the Bryant 430R9W a substitute for the Pass & Seymour 3801 since both are 2-pole 3-wire?
They share the 2-pole 3-wire arrangement but not the electrical rating. The Pass & Seymour 3801 is a 30A 250V device in the 6-30R straight blade configuration. The Bryant 430R9W, from the 4750DR series, is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. The voltage and intended duty differ, so verify the nameplate on the connected equipment before treating one as a drop-in for the other.
12) What is the exact part number and finish if I am standardizing 30A 240V outlets across a facility?
Order Pass & Seymour part 3801, a black 6-30R single flush receptacle rated 30A 250V, 2-pole 3-wire. It is a single-model item with no finish or amperage options to specify, which makes it straightforward to standardize on across multiple mechanical rooms or kitchens.
13) Does the Pass & Seymour 3801 come in a color other than black to match other outlets in the room?
The Pass & Seymour 3801 is supplied in black. Among 125V devices, the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex is also offered as the 5362BI, and the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W industrial duplex is gray. Since the 3801 is a 30A 250V 6-30R outlet, it is normally a dedicated equipment drop rather than part of a matched run of general-purpose outlets.
