Pass & Seymour Hospital-Grade Single Receptacle, 15A 125V, Back and Side Wire

The Pass & Seymour Hospital-Grade Single Receptacle is a 15A 125V device built with a short strap for back and side wire installation, engineered for the demanding uptime and reliability requirements of healthcare facilities. Finished in brown, it is Federal Spec Listed and cUL Listed, and pairs an impact-resistant nylon face with a thermoplastic back body for long-term durability. Internal screw-pressure-plate back wire terminals accept #14 : #10 AWG solid or stranded copper or copper-clad wire, giving electricians flexible, code-compliant termination options for hospital-grade branch circuits.

Key Features

  • Back and Side Wire Terminals: Internal screw-pressure-plate back wire construction accepts #14 : #10 AWG solid or stranded copper or copper-clad wire for versatile termination.
  • Split-Circuit Wiring: Easily accessed break-off, line-contact connecting tab allows fast, easy split-circuit wiring in the field.
  • Durable Construction: Impact-resistant nylon face and thermoplastic back body withstand the rigors of high-traffic hospital and institutional environments.
  • Temperature Performance: Maximum 30°C temperature rise at full-rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150% of rated current with direct current; rated for continuous operation up to +60°C and down to -40°C without impact.
  • Isolated Terminal Compartments: Terminal compartments are isolated from each other for positive conductor containment and reduced risk of cross-contact.
  • One-Piece Brass Contacts: Triple-wipe power contacts provide lasting retention and consistent connection integrity over repeated plug cycles.
  • Reinforced Strap: Corrosion-resistant, plated steel strap locks into the face and back body to resist pulling away from the face/body assembly.

Pass & Seymour 8284 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pass & Seymour 8284 receptacle approved for patient care areas?
It is built as a hospital-grade device at 15A 125V and is cUL Listed and Federal Specification listed. Hospital-grade construction here means one-piece brass triple-wipe power contacts for plug retention, an auto-ground clip for positive grounding, and a plated steel strap locked into both the nylon face and the thermoplastic back body so the device will not pull apart. Confirm the facility's own spec on receptacle color and grade before standardizing.
2) Can the Pass & Seymour 8284 handle a 20 amp circuit or a continuous heavy load?
No. It is a 15A 125V device and should not be installed where a 20A receptacle is specified. It does hold up to heat: maximum 30 degrees C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rating with direct current, and continuous operation from -40 to +60 degrees C. For 20A 125V work, the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty duplex or the Leviton 16352-1PW (20A 125V, NEMA 5-20R) are 20A options.
3) What is the closest hospital-grade alternative to the Pass & Seymour 8284 receptacle?
The Leviton 16262-HGW is the other hospital grade device in the same class. The difference is configuration and color: the Pass & Seymour 8284 is a single receptacle rated 15A 125V in brown, while the 16262-HGW is a duplex receptacle in white. If the patient-care opening needs two outlets per strap, the Leviton duplex covers it; if the circuit feeds one dedicated piece of equipment, the single-receptacle 8284 is the fit.
4) If the job does not require a hospital-grade receptacle, what single 15A receptacle can be used instead?
For a 15A single receptacle without the hospital-grade requirement, the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. The Pass & Seymour 8284 is the hospital-grade choice at 15A 125V, carrying Federal Specification and cUL listings. Use the commercial grade device only where the facility spec and code for the area do not call for hospital grade - patient care areas generally do.
5) Can I use the Pass & Seymour 8284 for a split-circuit outlet on two separate breakers?
Yes. The 8284 has a break-off line-contact connecting tab that is easy to reach in the field, so you can separate the two hot feeds and run the device on two circuits. That is the usual approach for switched-half outlets or for putting two branch circuits into one box.
6) What is the difference between a single receptacle like the 8284 and a duplex hospital-grade receptacle?
The 8284 is a single receptacle, one outlet per device, 15A 125V. Electricians use a single where a dedicated circuit must serve one piece of equipment, since a duplex on a dedicated 15A circuit lets someone plug in a second load. If you want two outlets on the same yoke in a hospital-grade device, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex, supplied in white.
7) Will the brown Pass & Seymour 8284 match the other outlets in my building?
The 8284 comes in brown only. If your openings are standardized on white or gray devices, it will not match: for white hospital grade, the Leviton 16262-HGW is white; for a gray industrial 15A 125V 5-15R duplex, the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is gray.
8) I need a single 15A receptacle but not hospital grade. What else is there?
Two alternatives in single-receptacle form: the Eaton commercial specification grade single receptacle at 15A, and the Eaton heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle, which also terminates #14-10 AWG. The Pass & Seymour 8284 is the choice when the spec calls for hospital grade with Federal Specification listing.
9) Does the Pass & Seymour 8284 need a separate grounding pigtail to the box?
No pigtail is required when it is mounted in a properly grounded metal box: the device carries an auto-ground clip that bonds the strap to the box through the mounting screw. The strap itself is corrosion-resistant plated steel. A ground conductor to the green terminal is still the standard practice where the box is nonmetallic or the raceway is not a reliable ground path.
10) What should be used instead of the 8284 in a hazardous or wet location?
The 8284 is a standard-bodied hospital-grade receptacle for indoor branch wiring in healthcare, commercial, and institutional buildings. For classified areas, the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed plug and receptacle set are the devices built for that duty. Those are 3-pole or interlocked assemblies, not a drop-in replacement for a flush 15A 125V single receptacle.
11) We need a 15A 125V receptacle but the plan calls for a duplex in gray - what takes the place of the 8284 there?
The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V, NEMA 5-15R, in gray. It matches the 8284 on amperage and voltage but is an industrial specification grade duplex rather than a hospital-grade single, so confirm the drawing does not require hospital grade at that location.
12) Can a 20A receptacle be substituted for the Pass & Seymour 8284?
Not interchangeably. The 8284 is rated 15A 125V. Devices such as the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex or the Leviton 16352-1PW 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex are built for 20A branch circuits and use a different receptacle configuration, so the plug pattern and the circuit rating both change. Match the device to the branch-circuit rating and the receptacle configuration on the drawing.
13) Is the Eaton 6450 single receptacle the same thing as the Pass & Seymour 8284?
They are both single receptacles that accept #14-10 AWG conductors, but they are not equivalents. The Eaton 6450 is an industrial specification grade decorator-style single receptacle, while the Pass & Seymour 8284 is a hospital-grade device in brown with Federal Specification and cUL listings. Pick by whether the location requires hospital grade and by whether the cover plate is standard or decorator opening.
14) How is the Pass & Seymour 8284 packaged for a multi-unit job?
Standard packaging is 10 each, which suits punch-list and renovation quantities. If you are standardizing an entire floor on hospital grade, the Leviton 16262-HGW is cataloged as a pack of 100.
15) Where more outlets are needed on one strap than the 8284 single provides, what is the option?
The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A, giving four outlets in place of the single face on the Pass & Seymour 8284. It is a 20A 5-20R device, so the branch circuit and plug configuration differ from the 15A 125V 8284 and it is not a hospital-grade substitution.
16) Is a 277V motor-duty receptacle an alternative to the Pass & Seymour 8284?
No. The Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, a different voltage class and configuration entirely. The 8284 is a 15A 125V hospital-grade single receptacle for 125V branch circuits. The two are not interchangeable on any circuit.
17) For a commercial office retrofit, does a commercial grade receptacle cover the same duty as the 8284?
In non-patient-care commercial space it often does. The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Leviton 16342 is a Decora Plus commercial grade 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex in white. The Pass & Seymour 8284 is the hospital-grade 15A 125V single with an impact-resistant nylon face, Federal Specification and cUL listings - specify it where the facility standard calls for hospital grade.
