The Pass & Seymour 8301RED is a 20A 125V heavy-duty, hospital-grade single receptacle finished in red with back and side wire terminals for fast, secure installation. Built with .032 inch thick brass triple-wipe power contacts and an impact-resistant nylon face over a thermoplastic back body, this receptacle is engineered for the demanding reliability standards required in hospital-grade applications. It is cUL Listed and Federal Spec Listed, making it suitable for critical-care and code-driven commercial installations.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: .032 inch thick, brass, triple-wipe power contacts provide lasting retention and long-term contact integrity.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Strap: Plated steel strap is locked into the face and back body to resist pulling away from the face/body assembly.
  • Back and Side Wire Terminals: Internal screw-pressure-plate back wire accepts #14 : #10 AWG solid or stranded copper or copper-clad wire, plus a break-off, line-contact connecting tab for fast split-circuit wiring.
  • Isolated Terminal Compartments: Terminal compartments are isolated from each other for positive conductor containment.
  • Auto-Ground Clip: Assures positive grounding on every installation.
  • Temperature Performance: Maximum 30°C temperature rise at full-rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150% of rated current with direct current; operates continuously from -40°C to +60°C without impact.

Pass & Seymour 8301-RED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pass & Seymour 8301RED a single receptacle or a duplex?
It's a single receptacle, one 20A 125V outlet per strap, in red. If you need two outlets on one strap in a heavy-duty 20A/125V configuration, the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty duplex at the same 20A/125V rating. Single receptacles are what you use when a dedicated circuit has to serve one piece of equipment and you don't want a second cord plugged into it.
2) What wire size can I land on the Pass & Seymour 8301RED?
It takes #14 through #10 AWG solid or stranded copper or copper-clad wire. The back wire uses an internal screw-pressure plate rather than a stab-in push connection, so a stranded conductor clamps properly, and you can use the side screws instead if that suits the box. Note that #14 is only appropriate on a 15A branch feeding this device; on a 20A circuit you're on #12 minimum.
3) What size opening does the 8301RED need in the wall plate?
It's a single receptacle with a round face, not a duplex, so it needs a single-receptacle plate, not a standard duplex plate. Device dimensions are 3.68 in height, 1.32 in width, 1.093 in depth. A duplex cover will not fit over it.
4) What's the difference between the Pass & Seymour 8301RED and a spec-grade commercial receptacle?
The 8301RED is hospital grade, which is a higher test tier than commercial or industrial specification grade, and it's built for critical-care and patient-care areas. If you're outfitting general commercial space rather than a healthcare branch circuit, an industrial specification grade device like the Eaton 6450W single receptacle covers #14-10 AWG at a lower grade, and the Eaton 816W is commercial specification grade at 15A. Those are not substitutes where a drawing calls out hospital grade.
5) If I need two outlets at one 20A 125V device instead of a single receptacle, what can I use in place of the Pass & Seymour 8301RED?
The Pass & Seymour 8301RED is a single 20A 125V hospital-grade receptacle, so one plug per device. For two outlets at the same amperage and voltage, the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty duplex receptacle is rated 20A/125V in a duplex configuration, as is the Bryant 5362BI heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex. Note the Bryant units are catalogued as heavy-duty grade rather than hospital-grade, so on a patient-care circuit where the green dot is required by the drawing, stay with the 8301RED.
6) Can the 8301RED be used in a hazardous or wash-down area of the facility?
The Pass & Seymour 8301RED is built with an impact-resistant nylon face over a thermoplastic back body for hospital and heavy-duty commercial wiring; it is not an explosionproof or factory-sealed device. For classified areas, the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp 3-pole plug and receptacle set are the devices intended for that duty. Match the enclosure to the area classification on the electrical drawings rather than substituting a general-purpose device.
7) What do I use for a 277V mechanical room load instead of the 8301RED?
The Pass & Seymour 8301RED is rated 125V and will not serve a 277V circuit. For that voltage, the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle in the 4750DR series. Keep the 8301RED on 125V branch circuits where its hospital-grade construction and cUL Listing are what the specification is asking for.
8) Why is the 8301 receptacle red, and does the color mean anything on a hospital job?
Red is the standard identification color for emergency or critical branch power in healthcare facilities, so the 8301RED is specified where outlets need to be visually distinguished as being fed from the generator-backed system. The body is a matte red nylon face over a thermoplastic back. The color is the identifier only, the electrical rating is 20A at 125V.
9) Can the 8301RED be wired as a split circuit with two separate feeds?
Yes. There's a break-off line-contact connecting tab on the hot side, so you snap the tab and land two circuits or a switched leg and a constant leg. The terminal compartments are isolated from each other, which keeps the conductors contained once the tab is broken.
10) Will this receptacle hold a plug tightly over years of use?
Contact retention is where the hospital-grade build shows up. The power contacts are .032 inch thick brass in a triple-wipe design, which grips the blades on three surfaces instead of two, and the plated steel strap is locked into both the face and the back body so it won't pull away from the assembly when someone yanks a cord. An auto-ground clip grounds the strap to the box on every install.
11) Can I put the 8301RED on a 15A circuit?
The device is rated 20A at 125V, so it will carry a 15A circuit fine, but a 20A single receptacle on a 15A breaker is generally not permitted because a single receptacle must have an ampere rating not less than the branch circuit. Put it on a 20A circuit with #12 conductors.
12) The circuit is only 15A and it is a general office, not a patient room. Is there a simpler single receptacle than the 8301RED?
Yes. The 8301RED is a 20A 125V hospital-grade single receptacle with triple-wipe brass contacts and an auto-ground clip, built for critical-care duty. For a 15A general commercial circuit, the Eaton commercial specification grade single receptacle is rated 15A, and the Eaton Arrow Hart heavy-duty industrial duplex is a 15A 125V 5-15R device in gray if you want two outlets. Both drop the hospital-grade construction, so confirm the branch circuit is actually 15A before substituting.
13) Is a single receptacle like the Eaton 6450W decorator the same thing as the 8301RED?
Both are single receptacles that accept #14 to #10 AWG conductors, but they are not the same device. The Pass & Seymour 8301RED is hospital-grade, 20A 125V, in a matte red nylon face with back and side wire terminals and a break-off tab for split-circuit wiring. The Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator-style single receptacle rated for #14-10 AWG, which means a decorator opening in the wall plate rather than the standard straight-blade opening. Check which plate style the job is standardized on.
14) We need a receptacle the cord cannot be pulled out of. Does the 8301RED lock?
No. The Pass & Seymour 8301RED is a straight-blade 20A 125V hospital-grade single receptacle; retention comes from .032 inch triple-wipe brass contacts, not from a twist-lock interface. If the application calls for a mechanically locking cord connection, the Bryant 70520FR is a NEMA flanged locking receptacle in the 7 Series, and the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC in black. Locking devices require a matching locking plug, so the cord cap has to be changed as well.
15) What temperature range can the 8301RED operate in?
Continuous operation from -40C to +60C without impact on performance. Maximum temperature rise is 30C at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current with direct current, which is the hospital-grade overload test.
