Pass & Seymour CP498TR15BK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Pass & Seymour CP498TR15 countertop outlet need a junction box under the counter?
No junction box is required. The CP498TR15 receptacle and tail assembly are suitable for install without one, and the termination uses a hand-turn nut so you don't need tools under the counter to make the connection. That's what makes it practical on an island where cabinet access is tight after the countertop is set.
2) Will a countertop outlet like this satisfy the NEC requirement for island receptacles?
The CP498TR15 is UL 498 rated for Countertop or Work Surface Assembly and is code compliant with NEC 2023 406.5(E), which is the section governing receptacles installed in countertop and work surfaces. It's also UL Listed and cULus Listed. If your island power is being inspected to the 2023 code cycle, that assembly rating is the thing the inspector is looking for.
3) Is a 15A countertop outlet enough for kitchen small appliances, or do I need 20A?
The CP498TR15 is rated 15A, which covers typical kitchen countertop loads like mixers, blenders, and coffee makers. If your island circuit is a 20A small-appliance branch circuit and the spec calls for a 20A receptacle on it, this isn't the device. For a 20A 125V duplex, a heavy-duty unit like the Bryant 5362B is the direction to go, though that's a standard box-mounted receptacle rather than a countertop assembly.
4) If a kitchen island needs 20A instead of 15A, what receptacle can be used in place of the Pass & Seymour CP498TR15?
The CP498TR15 is rated 15A, so a 20A branch circuit device has to come from a different family. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, and the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle in NEMA 5-20R at 20A. Both are conventional box-mounted wiring devices rather than countertop assemblies, so they need a junction box and a wall or cabinet-face location, while the CP498TR15 receptacle and tail assembly installs without a junction box.
5) What colors does the CP498TR15 countertop outlet come in?
Two: matte white (CP498TR15W) and black (CP498TR15BK). Matte white is the one to pick when you're coordinating with light quartz or painted cabinetry; black disappears better into dark stone and waterfall edges. Same 15A tamper-resistant device either way, so you can mix finishes across a job without changing the electrical spec.
6) Are the tamper-resistant shutters on this outlet required in a kitchen, or just a safety extra?
The CP498TR15 has tamper-resistant shutters that block insertion of foreign objects, which is the child-protection feature dwelling-unit receptacles are generally required to have. Ordering the TR version means you aren't going back to swap devices after a rough-in inspection on a residential kitchen.
7) I need a receptacle for a shop or industrial bench, not a kitchen island. Is this the right one?
No. The CP498TR15 is a countertop or work-surface assembly built for kitchen island and peninsula power, and it mounts on the surface without a box. For an industrial bench you want a standard spec-grade device in a box: the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial 15A 125V 5-15R duplex, and the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade 15A single. For wet or hazardous locations, Appleton's FSQC Series explosionproof receptacle is the category to look at.
8) Can I mount the Pass & Seymour CP498TR15 into an existing quartz or granite island?
It's a surface-mount device, so it sits on top of the counter with the tail assembly dropping through to the cabinet below, rather than being flush-cut into the slab. You still need a hole through the counter for the tail, but no junction box in the cabinet, and the compact body (2.3 in width, 3.6 in depth) keeps the under-counter intrusion small on a retrofit.
9) Can an Eaton 6450W decorator single receptacle replace the Pass & Seymour CP498TR15 on a countertop?
They are not interchangeable in the same opening. The Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, wired in a box behind a decorator wall plate. The CP498TR15 is a compact surface-mount countertop outlet whose receptacle and tail assembly installs without a junction box and terminates with a hand-turn nut under the counter, and it is rated under UL 498 for Countertop or Work Surface Assembly.
10) For a wet or hazardous commercial kitchen area, is the Pass & Seymour CP498TR15 the right choice or is a sealed receptacle needed?
The CP498TR15 is a corrosion and chemical resistant surface-mount countertop outlet, cULus listed, intended for kitchen island and peninsula power access. Where the area is classified and requires an explosionproof or factory-sealed device, the Appleton FSQC series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set covers that duty instead.
11) Which receptacles look like alternatives to the Pass & Seymour CP498TR15 but will not accept a standard appliance cord?
Two in the same general aisle will not take a standard 5-15P appliance plug. The Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC, and the Bryant 430R9W 4750DR is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. The CP498TR15 is a 15A straight-blade countertop outlet with tamper-resistant shutters, which is what small kitchen appliances plug into.
12) Will the CP498TR15 hold up in a commercial or food service kitchen?
It's built with corrosion and chemical resistant construction for heavy wear, and Pass & Seymour lists commercial kitchen facilities, food service prep areas, and hospitality kitchens among its applications alongside residential islands. For a wipe-down prep counter that sees cleaners regularly, that chemical resistance is the relevant part of the spec.
13) If I want a darker device to match black cabinetry instead of matte white, what are my options?
The CP498TR15 countertop outlet itself comes in black as CP498TR15BK alongside the matte white CP498TR15W, so no brand change is needed. If the location moves to a standard box, the Eaton 7379 industrial locking receptacle is also offered in black, though it is a 50A locking device rather than a 15A straight-blade outlet.
14) Is there an ivory-colored heavy-duty duplex equivalent if the countertop outlet does not suit the opening?
Yes. The Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle in the ivory version of that series, with the 5362B covering the same heavy-duty 20A/125V rating. Both mount in a box behind a wall plate, unlike the CP498TR15, which is a surface-mount countertop assembly installed without a junction box.
