Pass & Seymour CR20-GRY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size does the Pass & Seymour CR20 receptacle accept, and is it back wire or side wire?
The CR20 is a side-wire device, terminated on the screw terminals rather than back-wired push-in holes. It takes #14 through #10 AWG solid or stranded copper or copper-clad conductors, so a 20A circuit run in #12 lands on it without an issue, and #10 works where a long run was upsized for voltage drop.
2) Can I split-circuit the CR20 duplex receptacle so the top and bottom halves are on different circuits?
Yes. The CR20 has a break-off line-contact connecting tab on the terminal side, so snapping the tab separates the two halves for split-circuit or switched-half wiring. The terminal compartments are also isolated from each other, which keeps the two sets of conductors contained when you have four wires plus ground in one box.
3) Will the CR20 hold up in a high-traffic commercial space, or should I be looking at a heavy-duty receptacle?
The CR20 is a commercial spec-grade device: impact-resistant nylon face, thermoplastic back body, and .032 inch thick brass triple-wipe power contacts for plug retention, with a plated steel strap locked into both face and body so it resists being pulled apart. That covers offices, retail, corridors and general 20A branch-circuit outlets. For plant floors or shop environments where cords are yanked daily, a heavy-duty device such as the Bryant 5362B 20A/125V duplex is the step up, and Eaton's Arrow Hart industrial specification grade line is the other direction to look.
4) Is a 20A 125V duplex like the CR20 the right choice, or do I need a quad or a single receptacle?
A 20A 125V duplex is the standard general-purpose commercial outlet, and the CR20 is that device in side-wire form. Where one box has to serve four cords, such as under a workstation, a quad device like the Bryant 21254IGO NEMA 5-20R saves you a second box. Where a single dedicated outlet is wanted for one piece of equipment, Eaton's commercial specification grade single receptacle is the pattern to look at. For hazardous or wash-down locations a standard duplex is the wrong tool entirely, and you want a factory-sealed or explosionproof device such as the Appleton FSQC interlocked receptacle.
5) What is a direct alternative to the Pass & Seymour CR20 20A 125V duplex receptacle from another brand?
The Bryant 5362B is the closest match: it is a 20A/125V duplex receptacle rated heavy-duty, the same amperage and voltage as the CR20. The Bryant 5362BI is the same 20A/125V heavy-duty duplex device in an ivory-style variant, which lines up with the CR20-I ivory option if you are matching device color across a floor.
6) I only need a 15A receptacle, not 20A - what should I order instead of the CR20?
The CR20 is a 20A 125V duplex device. For 15A work, the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a 15A 125V 5-15R duplex receptacle in gray, rated industrial specification grade. If a single receptacle rather than a duplex suits the opening, the Eaton 816W is a 15A commercial specification grade single receptacle.
7) Can I use the CR20 in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
The CR20 is a cULus Listed commercial spec-grade device for standard commercial and industrial branch-circuit wiring in a device box. For hazardous locations, the Appleton FSQC Series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle, and the Appleton U-Line ECS set is a factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp 3-pole plug and receptacle set - both are purpose-built for those environments rather than standard dry-location device boxes.
8) What looks like a substitute for the CR20 but will not work on a 125V general-purpose circuit?
Two to rule out. The Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, and the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC. Neither matches the CR20's 20A 125V straight-blade duplex configuration, so they will not serve a standard 125V branch circuit outlet.
9) What colors does the CR20 20A commercial receptacle come in, and why would I use the red one?
Four colors: white, gray, ivory, and red (MPNs CR20, CR20-GRY, CR20-I and CR20-RED). Red is the usual choice for color-coded circuit identification, for example flagging emergency or generator-backed branch circuits so anyone opening the panel or the plate knows what feeds that outlet. White, gray and ivory are the standard finish choices for matching existing device plates in a building.
10) Can the CR20 receptacle be used in an unheated warehouse or a mechanical room that runs hot?
Yes. The CR20 operates continuously from -40C to +50C with no impact on performance, and it holds a maximum 30C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rating. That covers unconditioned storage, loading docks and warm equipment rooms.
11) Do I need to run a separate ground pigtail to the CR20, or does it self-ground to the box?
The CR20 has an auto-ground clip on the mounting strap, so it establishes positive grounding through the yoke when mounted to a properly grounded metal box. The green terminal is still there if your installation or local practice calls for a bonded ground conductor to the device.
12) I have 15A receptacles on the circuit now. Is the CR20 a direct swap?
Mounting is the same standard duplex strap, so it lands in the existing box and takes the existing plate. The difference is rating: the CR20 is a 20A 125V device, and a 20A receptacle belongs on a circuit protected at 20A with #12 minimum conductors. If the branch circuit is wired and breakered for 15A, keep a 15A device such as the Eaton Arrow Hart 5-15R industrial duplex rather than putting a 20A face on a 15A circuit.
13) I need more than two outlets at one location - is there an alternative to the CR20 duplex?
The CR20 is a duplex, giving two outlets per device. For four outlets in one device, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A - the same 20A class as the CR20 but with four receptacle openings.
14) I want a decorator-style opening instead of the CR20's standard duplex face - what are my options?
The CR20 has a standard duplex nylon face and is ordered in white, gray, red, or ivory. If the cover plate calls for a decorator opening, the Eaton 6450 is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle that accepts #14-10 AWG - the same wire range the CR20 takes - so your conductors carry over even though the faceplate style differs.
