Pass & Seymour PSE8300-I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 8300 and a commercial grade 20A duplex like the Leviton 16352?
Grade is the difference. The 8300 is hospital grade with nickel-plated brass triple-wipe contacts and an integral-ground one-piece brass strap, which is what hospital-grade listing demands for ground reliability and plug retention. The Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex, and the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is commercial grade in a decorator face. Use a commercial device in offices and corridors outside patient care; in patient care spaces the hospital-grade device is the one that meets the requirement.
2) Which colors does the Pass & Seymour 8300 hospital-grade receptacle come in, and what part number do I order for red?
Three colors: brown (8300), ivory (8300-I), and red (8300RED). Red is the common convention for emergency or generator-backed circuits in healthcare facilities, so spec the 8300RED where the circuit is on emergency power and brown or ivory for normal power. All three share the same 20A 125V construction and matte finish.
3) Can I back wire the Pass & Seymour 8300 receptacle or do I have to use the side screws?
Either. The 8300 is a back and side wire device. The back wire clamps are external nickel-plated screw-pressure plates, and the side terminals are oversized #10 deep tri-drive head brass screws, so you can land the conductor under the pressure plate or wrap it on the screw and still see that the connection is made.
4) Is the Bryant 5362B a direct substitute for the Pass & Seymour 8300?
Not for a patient care circuit. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex and the 5362BI is the same device in ivory, but they are graded heavy-duty, not hospital grade. The 8300 is the hospital-grade device. If you are replacing receptacles in a non-patient area of the building and only need a spec-grade 20A duplex, the Bryant units cover it; inside patient care spaces, stay with the hospital-grade 8300.
5) What is the closest hospital-grade equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 8300 duplex receptacle from another brand?
The Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle, which matches the hospital-grade duty of the Pass & Seymour 8300. The 8300 is a 20A 125V duplex device offered in Brown, Ivory, and Red; the Leviton 16262-HGW is White and is supplied in a pack of 100, so it suits a standardization order where white is the facility finish.
6) If a circuit does not require hospital grade, what 20A 125V duplex receptacle can be used instead of the Pass & Seymour 8300?
For general commercial areas, 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 carry the same 20A 125V duplex rating as the Pass & Seymour 8300, which is built to hospital-grade and extra heavy-duty construction with nickel-plated brass triple-wipe contacts for healthcare and critical-use circuits.
7) Will the 8300 work for a split-circuit receptacle where each half is on a separate breaker?
Yes. The 8300 has a break-off line-contact connecting tab that is easy to reach, so you snap the brass tab to isolate the two halves and feed each from its own circuit. No modification beyond breaking the tab is needed.
8) Can this receptacle be installed in an unheated mechanical room or a cold outbuilding?
Temperature range on the 8300 is -40C to +60C with no stated impact on performance, so unconditioned and cold spaces are within its rating. It also holds a maximum 30C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current. Note it is a standard duplex device, not a weather-resistant or wet-location receptacle, so it needs an appropriate enclosure and cover where dampness is a factor.
9) Is there tamper protection on the 8300 for a pediatric or behavioral health area?
The 8300 uses a patented shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects into the face, which is what you want in pediatric, long-term care, and other occupied patient areas. It is a 20A 125V duplex device, so one 8300 covers both the tamper-resistance and the hospital-grade retention requirement in the same box.
10) I need four outlets at one location in a patient room. Does the 8300 come as a quad?
The 8300 is a duplex configuration, two outlets per device. For four outlets you either gang two 8300s in a two-gang box, which is the usual approach where hospital grade is required, or look at a quad device such as the Bryant 21254IGO, a NEMA 5-20R 20A quad straight-blade receptacle.
11) Will the Pass & Seymour 8300 accept both 15A and 20A plugs?
Yes. At 20A, 125V the 8300 is a 20-amp straight blade duplex, and a 20A 125V face takes both the standard parallel-blade 15A plug and the T-slot 20A plug. If the appliance is a 20A medical cart or imaging unit, this device is on the right circuit rating for it.
12) Can I substitute a 15A receptacle like the Eaton 5262W for the Pass & Seymour 8300?
Not where a 20A device is required. The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is an industrial specification grade duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R face in gray, while the Pass & Seymour 8300 is rated 20A at 125V. A 5-15R face will not accept a 20A straight-blade plug, so confirm the circuit and plug type before swapping.
13) Does the Pass & Seymour 8300 work for a 277V or locking application?
No. The Pass & Seymour 8300 is a 125V straight-blade duplex device rated 20A. For 277V motor-duty service the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, and for a locking high-current feed the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC in black.
14) Can the Pass & Seymour 8300 be used in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
The Pass & Seymour 8300 is a cULus Listed general-purpose hospital-grade duplex receptacle for healthcare, commercial, and institutional interiors. 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 set, 3-pole - those are the devices intended for hazardous locations.
15) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 8300 and a Decora-style receptacle like the Leviton 16342?
The Leviton 16342 is a Decora Plus commercial grade duplex receptacle rated 20-Amp 125-Volt NEMA 5-20R in white, which uses a rectangular decorator opening and a matching decorator wallplate. The Pass & Seymour 8300 is a standard duplex-face device in a matte finish, offered in Brown, Ivory, and Red, and is built to hospital grade. Match the wallplate style already on the wall when choosing between them.
16) Where is the Pass & Seymour 8300 receptacle made, and is there a spec sheet for submittals?
Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if you are filing a buy-domestic or country-of-origin declaration on a public project. The manufacturer spec sheet is published for the 8300 family and covers the 20A 125V rating and cULus Listing you will need to show on a submittal.
17) I only need one outlet at the device box - what single receptacle works instead of the Pass & Seymour 8300?
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. Either covers a single-outlet opening, whereas the Pass & Seymour 8300 is a duplex device rated 20A 125V.
