Pass & Seymour 8300H – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size do the terminals on the Pass & Seymour 8300H hospital-grade receptacle accept?
The 8300H series takes #14 through #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors on screw-pressure-plate line terminals. It's back and side wire, so you can either land the conductor straight into the back plate or wrap the side screw. Terminal and mounting screws are tri-drive.
2) Why is the red version of this 20A receptacle used in hospitals, and is the red one electrically different?
Red is purely visual identification of critical-power (emergency branch) circuits. Electrically, the red 8300-HRED is the same 20A 125V heavy-duty hospital-grade device as the brown, ivory, white, and light almond versions.
3) Will this hospital-grade receptacle fit in a shallow or crowded existing box?
That's the point of the compact body. The device measures 3.281 in high, 1.322 in wide, and 0.78 in deep, with a high-strength thermoplastic back body sized to go into space-constrained boxes and standard cover plates. On a retrofit into an old shallow box with several conductors, that 0.78 in depth is what buys you room to fold the wires.
4) For a hazardous or wet location, should I specify the Pass & Seymour 8300H or something else?
The 8300H is a cULus Listed hospital-grade compact duplex device for healthcare and commercial interior boxes. For hazardous locations, Appleton offers the FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, 3-pole, which are built for that environment rather than for a standard device box.
5) Will a Bryant 430R9W or Eaton 7379 receptacle work in place of a Pass & Seymour 8300H?
No. 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 8300H's 20A 125V straight-blade duplex configuration, so a standard 125V cord cap will not mate with them.
6) Can I wire the 8300H for a split circuit so the two outlets are on separate breakers?
Yes. There's a break-off line contact connecting tab on the device that snaps out easily, which separates the two halves so each receptacle can be fed from its own circuit or switched leg. Nothing extra to buy.
7) Which colors and part numbers does the Pass & Seymour 8300H compact duplex come in?
Five colors: brown (8300H), ivory (8300-HI), white (8300-HW), light almond (8300HLA), and red (8300-HRED). All are matte finish, so they won't gloss-mismatch a wall of existing devices.
8) Does the 8300H need a bonding jumper to the box, or is it self-grounding?
It has an auto-ground clip on the mounting strap that makes positive ground to a properly grounded metal box through the mounting screw. You still land the equipment grounding conductor per the installation requirements for your facility, but the clip gives you the redundant metal-to-metal path.
9) Is this receptacle UL listed, and what temperature range is it rated for?
cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installations. Operating range runs to a maximum continuous +60 C and down to -40 C without impact, and it holds a maximum 30 C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current with direct current.
10) What makes this a hospital-grade device instead of a regular heavy-duty commercial receptacle?
Construction. You get .032 inch thick brass triple-wipe power contacts for plug retention, an impact-resistant nylon face, and a corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel strap locked into the body. Plug blades stay gripped after repeated insertion, which is what matters when mobile equipment gets moved off a wall daily.
11) If I don't need hospital grade, what else is there in a 20A 125V heavy-duty duplex?
For general commercial and industrial work where hospital grade isn't specified, the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex is the straight alternative, and the 5362BI is the ivory version of the same heavy-duty device. Choose the Pass & Seymour 8300H when the drawing calls for hospital grade or when you need the compact body and split-circuit tab.
12) Can I use the 8300H on a 15A circuit or for 277V equipment?
It's a 20A 125V device, so it's fine on a 20A branch circuit at 125V nominal and will also serve a 15A 125V circuit. It is not a 277V device. For 277V you need a different receptacle entirely, such as the Bryant 430R9W 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle.
13) I need an ivory 20A duplex receptacle - how does the Pass & Seymour 8300-HI compare to the Bryant 5362BI?
The Pass & Seymour 8300-HI is the ivory color of the 8300H hospital-grade compact duplex, rated 20A 125V, and the same body is offered in brown (8300H), light almond (8300HLA), white (8300-HW), and red (8300-HRED) for critical-power identification. The Bryant 5362BI is a 20A/125V heavy-duty duplex receptacle. Both cover 20A 125V; the Pass & Seymour device carries hospital-grade construction with an auto-ground clip and brass triple-wipe contacts.
14) I only need a 15A duplex receptacle, not 20A - what should I use instead of the Pass & Seymour 8300H?
The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R face in gray. It covers 15A general-purpose circuits where the 8300H's 20A 125V rating is more than the circuit requires. Note the 5262W is an industrial specification grade device, so it is not a substitute where hospital-grade construction is specified.
15) I need more than two 20A outlets at one location - is there an alternative to using two Pass & Seymour 8300H receptacles?
The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A, giving four 20A outlets in one device where the 8300H provides two per device. The 8300H remains the hospital-grade choice; the 21254IGO is the option when outlet count at a single box is the driver.
16) Can I use a single receptacle like the Eaton 6450W or 816W in place of a Pass & Seymour 8300H?
Only if one outlet is enough at that box. 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. The 8300H is a 20A 125V hospital-grade duplex, so swapping to either single device changes both the outlet count and the grade of construction.
17) I need four outlets at one location. Is there an option instead of two of these duplexes?
For four receptacles in one yoke, look at the Bryant 21254IGO quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, 20A. It's not hospital grade, so if the circuit is a patient-care area the Pass & Seymour 8300H duplex is the one that meets that spec.
