Pass & Seymour TR-8300HW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Pass & Seymour TR8300H hospital-grade receptacle meet the NEC tamper-resistant requirement for patient care areas?
The TR8300H is a tamper-resistant hospital-grade duplex rated 20A 125V, and it meets National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements. It is also cULus Listed. That combination is what inspectors look for where both TR and hospital-grade devices are called out, so you don't need to stack a separate TR cover over a standard hospital-grade device.
2) What wire size can I land on the TR8300H, and can I back-wire it?
Both back and side wire terminals are provided, using internal screw pressure-plate terminals that accept #14 through #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors. Copper only, no aluminum. So a 20A circuit on #12 lands fine either way, and #10 feeders on a long home run still fit.
3) Which color do I order for emergency power circuits versus normal power?
Two colors: red (TR-8300HRED) and white (TR-8300HW). Red is the convention for devices fed from the essential electrical system or generator-backed branch circuits; white goes on normal power. If your facility standard calls out red for critical branch, order the red and keep the white for general receptacles.
4) What is the difference between this hospital-grade receptacle and a heavy-duty commercial one like the Bryant 5362B?
Both are 20A 125V duplex devices, but the Bryant 5362B is catalogued as heavy-duty grade, while the Pass & Seymour TR8300H is hospital-grade and tamper-resistant. If a drawing calls for hospital-grade (the green dot device) or the space is a patient care area, the heavy-duty device will not satisfy it. For back-of-house offices, corridors, and general commercial receptacles where only a spec-grade device is required, a heavy-duty duplex such as the 5362B covers it.
5) What is the closest 20A 125V duplex receptacle to the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H if tamper-resistant and hospital-grade are not required?
The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, the same 20A 125V electrical rating the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H carries. The difference is what the TR-8300H adds on top of that rating: a hospital-grade tamper-resistant design that meets National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements, plus a compact body with back and side wire terminals accepting #14 - #10 AWG copper. For a general commercial branch circuit where TR and hospital-grade are not called out on the drawing, the 5362B covers the same amperage and voltage; anywhere the specification says hospital-grade or tamper-resistant, use the TR-8300H.
6) Can I use a 15A industrial receptacle like the Eaton 5262W in place of the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H?
Only if the circuit and the specification allow 15A. The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is an industrial specification grade duplex rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R configuration, while the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H is rated 20A 125V. On a 20A branch circuit where a 20A receptacle is required, the 5262W does not carry the rating. The TR-8300H is also the hospital-grade tamper-resistant device meeting National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements; the 5262W is a general industrial specification grade device.
7) What is the difference between the Bryant 5362BI and the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H for a healthcare renovation?
The Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle - same amperage and voltage as the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H. The TR-8300H is the hospital-grade tamper-resistant version of that rating, meeting National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements, with a compact body that eases installation in crowded boxes, an impact-resistant nylon face, a locked-in corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel strap, and a break-off line tab for split-circuit wiring. It is cULus Listed. In a healthcare renovation where hospital-grade is specified, the TR-8300H is the one that carries that designation.
8) Will a hospital-grade 20A receptacle fit in a shallow or crowded box?
The TR8300H is a compact-body duplex, measuring 2.635 x 1.322 x 0.78 inches, which is what makes it workable in tight or shallow boxes where a full-size spec-grade body crowds the conductors. The strap is zinc-plated steel, locked in, with stainless steel tri-drive mounting screws.
9) Can I use this receptacle for a split-circuit or switched-half outlet?
Yes. The TR8300H has an accessible break-off line contact tab, so snapping the tab isolates the two halves for split-circuit wiring, one half switched and one half always hot, or two separate 20A branch circuits on one device.
10) I need four outlets at one device location on a 20A circuit. Is this the right part?
The TR8300H is a duplex, so two outlets per device. For four receptacles in a single opening on a 20A circuit, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade NEMA 5-20R device rated 20A. Note it is not a hospital-grade tamper-resistant device, so it won't meet a hospital-grade or NEC TR requirement.
11) Will a 20A hospital-grade receptacle accept a standard 15A plug?
Yes. A 20A 125V duplex uses the NEMA 5-20R face, which takes both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, so standard equipment cords and T-blade 20A cords both plug in. The tamper-resistant shutters open only when both blades are inserted together, which is normal and not a fault.
12) Is an explosionproof receptacle such as the Appleton FSQC an alternative to the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H?
No - they solve different problems. The Appleton FSQC Series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle for classified hazardous locations, and Appleton's U-Line ECS set is a factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle assembly for the same kind of environment. The Pass & Seymour TR-8300H is a flush-mounted 20A 125V hospital-grade tamper-resistant duplex with an impact-resistant nylon face, intended for commercial, institutional, and healthcare wiring in standard boxes. It carries no hazardous-location function, and the explosionproof devices carry no hospital-grade or tamper-resistant designation.
13) I need four 20A outlets at one location instead of two - what should I order instead of the TR-8300H?
The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle rated NEMA 5-20R at 20A, giving four outlets in one device where the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H is a duplex with two. Both sit at the same 20A rating. Note that the TR-8300H is the hospital-grade tamper-resistant device that meets National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirements, so in a patient-care or TR-mandated area the quad is not a drop-in substitute for it - it is the choice when outlet count at the box matters more than those two designations.
14) My equipment has a twist-lock cord cap - does the TR-8300H accept it?
No. The Pass & Seymour TR-8300H is a straight-blade 20A 125V duplex, and a locking cord cap will not engage it. For a locking connection, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in an extra heavy duty grade; the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle for 277V loads. Both are different voltage and configuration families than the TR-8300H's 125V straight-blade duplex, so confirm the cord cap rating before ordering either.
15) For a tenant corridor where I just need a 15A commercial outlet, is there a simpler option than the Pass & Seymour TR-8300H?
The Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, a narrower spec than the 20A 125V hospital-grade tamper-resistant TR-8300H and a single rather than a duplex. Choose it where a 15A device satisfies the circuit and neither hospital-grade nor tamper-resistant compliance is required. Where the National Electrical Code tamper-resistant requirement applies to the space, or the drawing calls hospital-grade, the TR-8300H is the device that meets it, and it is offered in white and red.
16) Is the face on this hospital-grade outlet glossy or flat, and where is it made?
Matte finish on the nylon face, so it sits closer to a flat wall plate than a gloss device. Country of origin is Mexico.
