Pass & Seymour 5362 Extra Heavy-Duty Spec-Grade Surge Protective Duplex Receptacle, 20A 125V

Patient care spaces call for a hospital grade device, and the 5362 is specified as extra heavy-duty spec grade rather than hospital grade. For patient care rooms, the Leviton 16262-HGW hospital grade duplex is the correct type. Use the 5362 surge receptacle in administrative, IT, imaging support and other non-patient-care areas where transient protection is the goal.

The Bryant 5362B is the nearest match in ratings and configuration: it is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, the same 20A amperage and 125V voltage the Pass & Seymour 5362 carries in a duplex configuration. The Bryant 5362BI is the same 20A/125V heavy-duty duplex in a different catalog number. The practical difference is that the Pass & Seymour 5362 is built as an extra heavy-duty spec-grade device with integral surge protection, so if the circuit was specified for surge suppression at the outlet, the Bryant devices cover the receptacle duty but not the surge function.

The Pass & Seymour 5362 is an extra heavy-duty spec-grade 20A 125V duplex device, cULus listed, but it is not a hospital grade receptacle. Where the facility requires hospital grade at the outlet, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, supplied in packs of 100 for a floor or wing rollout. Use the hospital grade device where the code or spec calls for the green dot and keep the 5362 for general commercial circuits that call for surge suppression.

Several devices in the same family are not interchangeable with the Pass & Seymour 5362, a 20A 125V duplex. The Bryant 430R9W 4750DR is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, a different voltage class entirely. The Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC, which takes a twist-lock plug. The Appleton FSQC Series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS is a factory-sealed 3-pole 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, both for hazardous location work. None of these accept a standard 125V straight-blade cord cap.

Two colors: blue (5362-BLSP) and brown (5362-SP). Blue is the one most facilities standardize on for surge protective outlets, since it flags the circuit visually for techs and tenants. Brown is the choice when you need the device to blend with existing brown wiring devices in older commercial or multi-family spaces.

The 5362 is a duplex, so it gives you two outlets per device. For four outlets in a single box at 20A, the Bryant 21254IGO quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, covers that. Note the quad is a plain straight-blade device, not surge protective, so if transient protection matters you would use two 5362 duplexes in a two-gang box instead.

No on 277 volts. The 5362 is rated 125V only; for a 277V device you would be looking at something like the Bryant 430R9W motor-duty receptacle. On a 15 amp circuit, a 20A rated receptacle is permitted but the circuit still only delivers 15 amps, so if you specifically want a 15A device the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262 (15A 125V, 5-15R) is the matching grade option.

Blue is 5362-BLSP; brown is 5362-SP. The SP suffix is the surge protective version of the 5362 platform, so make sure the suffix is on the number you order or you will receive a non-surge device.

No. The 5362 is a standard wiring device for dry commercial and industrial interiors, not a hazardous-location fitting. For Class I or Class II areas you need a factory-sealed or explosionproof device such as the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set.

The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, 20A, which puts four 20A 125V-class outlets in one device rather than the two the duplex Pass & Seymour 5362 provides. It is also an isolated ground device, so it suits workstation and equipment drops fed from an isolated ground circuit. The 5362 remains the choice where surge protection is wanted at each duplex position.

The Pass & Seymour 5362 is a 20A 125V duplex device. If the drawing calls for a 15A outlet, the Eaton 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R face in gray, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade 15A single receptacle. Those 15A faces will not accept a 20A straight-blade plug, so confirm what the connected equipment uses before substituting down from the 5362.

The Pass & Seymour 5362 is a duplex device. For a single-outlet drop, the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, which covers the same wire range typical of a 20A branch circuit. It is a single face rather than two, and it does not carry the integral surge protection the 5362 provides.

The Pass & Seymour 5362 surge duplex is offered in blue (5362-BLSP) and brown (5362-SP); blue is commonly used to flag surge-protected outlets so staff can identify them. If the standard across the facility is white, the Leviton 16262-HGW hospital grade duplex and the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus 20A 125V commercial grade duplex are both white devices. Many facilities deliberately keep the surge outlets in blue and leave the general-purpose outlets white for exactly that reason.

The device is thermoplastic, which is the standard material for extra heavy-duty spec-grade receptacle faces and bodies. It resists impact and chemical splash better than the thin plastic on residential-grade devices, which is why it gets used in shops, plant areas and high-traffic MRO locations.

The Pass & Seymour 5362 is an extra heavy-duty spec-grade device with a thermoplastic body, so it is already built for commercial traffic and adds surge protection. Where impact at the faceplate is the main concern rather than surge events, the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle. The trade-off is straightforward: the Leviton emphasizes impact resistance at the device face, the 5362 brings surge suppression to the outlet.
