Pass & Seymour 885-TRW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Pass & Seymour 885-TR satisfy the NEC tamper-resistant outlet requirement for dwelling units?
The 885-TR meets 2008 National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements using a patented internal shutter system that blocks improper insertion of foreign objects. That is the code path inspectors look for in dwelling-unit receptacle locations, and it replaces the old workaround of plastic outlet caps or protection plates. It is cULus listed to UL498 and CSA C22.2 No.42 at 15A, 125V.
2) What wire gauge can I use on the Pass & Seymour 885-TR, and can I backwire it?
Side wire terminals take #12 to #14 AWG solid. The push wire (backwire) openings take #14 AWG solid only, so if you are running 12 AWG for a 20A homerun feeding 15A devices, you have to land it on the side screws. The device has a Quickloop looping aid, longer tri-drive screws and extra-long strap to make 12 AWG looping easier, plus a side-access push wire release if you need to pull a 14 AWG conductor back out.
3) Can I put a 15A tamper-resistant receptacle like the 885-TR on a 20-amp circuit?
Yes. The 885-TR is a 15A, 125V device in NEMA 5-15R configuration, and the NEC permits 15A receptacles on a 20A branch circuit where two or more receptacles are installed. Where the spec or drawing calls for a 20A receptacle face, you need a 5-20R device instead, such as the Leviton Decora Plus 16342 (20A 125V NEMA 5-20R).
4) Will the 885-TR fit a standard decorator wall plate and a 1-gang box?
It is a decorator-style (rectangular opening) face, so it takes a standard decorator/Decora-type plate, not a duplex-style plate with two round cutouts. Body depth is listed at 1 inch, which keeps it workable in shallow old-work boxes where a deeper spec-grade device would crowd the conductors. If you are mixing it with decorator switches in a multi-gang plate, the faces line up.
5) Is the 885-TR a GFCI receptacle? Can I use it in a kitchen or bathroom?
No, the 885-TR is a standard duplex outlet with tamper-resistant shutters only, with no ground-fault or arc-fault protection built in. It can serve kitchens and bathrooms when the branch circuit is GFCI protected upstream, at the breaker or a feed-through GFCI device. If the outlet itself has to provide the protection, you need a GFCI receptacle instead.
6) Will the 885-TR drop into an existing outlet opening when I replace old receptacles for TR compliance?
Electrically it is a straight swap for any 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R duplex on a 14 or 12 AWG branch circuit, using the same box, same yoke screw holes and the same side-screw terminations. The one change is the wall plate: this is a decorator face, so an old duplex plate with two round openings will not cover it. Order decorator plates with the devices.
7) Can I use the Pass & Seymour 885-TR in a patient care area of a hospital?
The 885-TR is a 15A, 125V tamper-resistant decorator receptacle, cULus listed to UL498 and CSA C22.2 No.42 - a general residential and commercial device. Patient care spaces call for a hospital grade device instead, and the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, supplied in packs of 100. Use the 885-TR for administrative, waiting, and pediatric common areas where tamper resistance is the driver, and the hospital grade device where the facility spec calls for the green dot.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 885-TR if I need a 15A 125V 5-15R duplex receptacle in a heavier industrial grade?
The Pass & Seymour 885-TR is a 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R duplex receptacle with a tamper-resistant shutter system and a decorator face. For the same 15A 125V 5-15R duplex rating in a heavy-duty industrial build, the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle, 15A 125V, 5-15R, in gray, carrying an industrial specification grade. The trade-off is face style and tamper resistance: the 885-TR gives you the shuttered decorator face required by the 2008 NEC tamper-resistant rules, while the Arrow Hart is a standard-face industrial device offered in gray only.
9) I need a 20A receptacle instead of the 885-TR for a kitchen small-appliance circuit. What should I use?
The Pass & Seymour 885-TR is built to the 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R configuration, so it is not the device for a 20A T-slot requirement. For 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R in a decorator face like the 885-TR, the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is a commercial grade duplex receptacle, 20-Amp 125-Volt NEMA 5-20R, in white. If a standard face is acceptable, the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex receptacle at 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R, and the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex.
10) What colors does the Pass & Seymour 885-TR come in, and what are the part numbers?
Seven colors, all with the same 15A/125V tamper-resistant device behind them: Brown (885-TR), Black (885-TRBK), Dark Bronze (885-TRDBCC12), Gray (885-TRGRY), Ivory (885-TRI), Light Almond (885-TRLA) and White (885-TRW). Property managers standardizing a building can order one color across every unit and keep identical electrical performance.
11) Do I still need a pigtail ground jumper with the 885-TR in a metal box?
Self-grounding versions of the 885 Series include an automatic ground clip on the mounting strap, which bonds the device to a properly grounded metal box through the mounting screw, so no separate jumper is needed. In a nonmetallic box you still land the circuit equipment ground on the green screw.
12) How does the 885-TR hold up in a rental or high-turnover apartment compared to a spec grade device?
Body is high-impact thermoplastic with the face ultrasonically welded to the back body, so the halves cannot work apart, and the contacts are built for long-term blade retention when plugs get pulled repeatedly. For shop floors, garages and industrial panels where cords get yanked hard, an industrial specification grade device such as the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W (15A 125V, 5-15R) is the heavier-duty alternative, though it is not tamper-resistant.
13) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 885-TR and the Leviton 16251W?
Both are straight blade receptacles, but they are built for different priorities. The 885-TR is a 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R duplex with a patented tamper-resistant shutter system, a low-profile decorator face, and high-impact thermoplastic construction, offered in seven colors including black, brown, dark bronze, gray, ivory, light almond, and white. The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle. Choose the 885-TR where the 2008 NEC tamper-resistant requirement applies or where a decorator face has to match adjacent devices.
14) I only need one outlet at the location, not a duplex. What takes the place of the 885-TR?
The 885-TR is a duplex device, two outlets in one strap at 15A 125V. For a single receptacle, the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle that accepts #14-10 AWG. The 6450W keeps the decorator face styling if the rest of the wall devices are decorator, while the 885-TR remains the choice where tamper-resistant shutters are required.
15) I need four outlets at one box. Is there a quad version of the 885-TR?
The Pass & Seymour 885-TR is a duplex device in the 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R configuration. For four outlets in a single location, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle in NEMA 5-20R at 20A. Note the different configuration and amperage: the quad is a 20A 5-20R device, so it belongs on a 20A branch circuit rather than substituting directly onto a 15A circuit layout built around the 885-TR.
16) Will a Bryant 5362BI work as a drop-in replacement for an 885-TR in ivory?
They are not interchangeable on rating. The 885-TR is a 15A, 125V NEMA 5-15R tamper-resistant receptacle and the ivory version is ordered as 885-TRI. The Bryant 5362BI is a 20A/125V heavy-duty duplex receptacle. Swapping a 20A device onto a circuit and wiring sized for the 15A layout is a change in configuration, not a like-for-like color match, and the Bryant device is not a tamper-resistant shuttered receptacle.
17) Can the 885-TR be used in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
No. The 885-TR is a 15A, 125V thermoplastic decorator receptacle intended for residential and commercial branch circuits in standard wall boxes. Hazardous locations call for purpose-built devices such as the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle, and for factory-sealed plug and receptacle service the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set is a 3-pole assembly. Those are complete enclosure-based devices rather than a flush wall receptacle like the 885-TR.
18) My drawing calls for a 277V motor-duty receptacle. Does the 885-TR cover that?
It does not. The 885-TR is rated 125V at 15A in the NEMA 5-15R configuration, which is a standard 125V general-purpose outlet. For a 277V motor-duty application, the Bryant 430R9W in the 4750DR series is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. For high-amperage locking service, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black.
19) I am standardizing a multi-family property on decorator-face outlets in several colors. How does the 885-TR compare with the decorator options from other brands?
The 885-TR covers a seven-color decorator lineup at one rating: black, brown, dark bronze, gray, ivory, light almond, and white, all 15A 125V NEMA 5-15R with the tamper-resistant shutter system, which is what the NEC tamper-resistant rule asks for in dwelling units. Among decorator-face comparables, the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is a commercial grade 20A 125V 5-20R duplex in white, and the Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle for #14-10 AWG. If the goal is one tamper-resistant 15A duplex repeated across units with trim matched room by room, the 885-TR color range is the one that holds a single rating across all seven finishes.
20) Can I break the tabs on the 885-TR to split-wire the two outlets on separate circuits?
Yes. The device has extra-large circuit break-off tabs, so you can snap the brass tab and feed the top and bottom halves from different circuits or put one half on a switch leg. Break only the line-side tab unless you also intend to separate the neutrals.
