Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use this receptacle in a metal box without pigtailing a ground wire to the device?
Yes. The TR-8301RED has an auto-ground feature, which eliminates the need to terminate a separate grounding conductor at the device, so grounding is made through the yoke to a properly grounded metal box. If the box is nonmetallic or not grounded, you still terminate the equipment ground at the green screw.
2) What makes this a hospital grade receptacle rather than just a commercial one?
The construction. A heavy-duty zinc-plated steel strap with tabs that wrap the face to stop the face separating from the back body, two drive screws anchoring the strap where removal torque is highest, and .032 inch thick brass triple-wipe power contacts for plug retention. That retention and pull-apart resistance is the point of hospital grade, since cords get yanked around beds and carts. Commercial spec grade devices, such as Eaton's commercial specification grade singles, are built to a lighter duty and should not be substituted on a hospital grade circuit.
3) Will a 125V 20A single receptacle work for my 250V equipment?
No. This device is rated 20A at 125V, so it is for standard single-phase 120V branch circuits only. For 20A at 250V you need a 6-20R configuration, such as the Leviton 16462-W Decora 6-20R single receptacle. For 277V motor-duty work, Bryant's 430R9W 4750DR 2-pole 3-wire 277V receptacle is the correct device.
4) What is the closest hospital-grade alternative to the Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED single receptacle?
The Eaton 8410W Hart extra heavy-duty hospital grade single receptacle is the nearest peer by configuration and grade - it is also a hospital grade single receptacle. The Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED is rated 20A, 125V, is red for quick identification of emergency or critical-care circuits, and adds a dual mechanical shutter system for tamper resistance. If you need the tamper-resistant shutters and the red body for circuit identification, stay with the TR-8301RED; if the opening calls for a plain hospital grade single without shutters, the Eaton 8410W covers it.
5) I need more than one outlet per box in a patient room - what hospital-grade device should I use instead of a single receptacle?
The Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED is a single receptacle, so it gives one outlet per device. For multiple outlets in the same box at hospital grade, the Leviton 21254-HI is an extra heavy-duty hospital grade four-in-one straight blade receptacle, and the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle rated NEMA 5-20R, 20A. Both put four outlets in the device footprint where the TR-8301RED puts one.
6) Can I use a commercial grade receptacle in place of the Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED?
Only where the specification does not call for hospital grade. The Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED is a hospital grade, tamper-resistant single receptacle rated 20A, 125V. Commercial specification grade singles such as the Eaton 816W and the Eaton 817B, a 5-15R single rated 15A/125V, are a different grade and a 15A configuration, so they will not satisfy a 20A hospital-grade circuit. The Leviton 16251W is commercial grade as well. Use these for general commercial branch circuits, not for patient-care spaces specified hospital grade.
7) Which receptacles look like substitutes for the Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED but will not fit the same circuit?
Several single receptacles in the same size class are different electrically. The TR-8301RED is 20A, 125V. The Leviton 16462-W is a Decora 6-20R single rated 20A 250V, a 250-volt configuration. The Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, and the Bryant 70520FR is a flanged locking receptacle rather than a straight blade. The Appleton FSQC is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS set is a factory-sealed 3-pole plug and receptacle set for hazardous locations. None of these accept a standard 125V 20A straight-blade plug.
8) Why is this hospital receptacle red, and does the color mean anything on a hospital circuit?
Red is the identification color, not a decorative finish. It flags emergency or critical-care branch circuits so anyone looking at the wall knows the outlet is fed from the essential electrical system rather than normal power. If you are wiring normal-power circuits in the same facility, order the same device family in the standard color instead so the red stays meaningful.
9) Will this receptacle accept back wiring, or do I have to loop the conductors under the screws?
Both work. It uses tri-drive steel terminal screws with an internal screw-pressure-plate for back or side wiring, plus two back wire holes. That makes it straightforward on retrofits where the existing conductors are short, since you can straight-feed into the pressure plate instead of forming loops.
10) Is a tamper-resistant receptacle required in patient care areas, and how does the shutter work on this one?
The device uses a dual mechanical shutter system that blocks insertion of a foreign object unless both blades enter together. In pediatric locations of health care facilities the NEC requires tamper-resistant receptacles, which is exactly where a red TR hospital grade single like this gets specified. Normal plugs insert without any extra technique.
11) For a plant floor or wash-down area, is the TR-8301RED the right receptacle or should I move to an industrial grade device?
The Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED is built for healthcare and institutional work - red body for critical-circuit identification, hospital grade construction, 20A at 125V. For industrial environments exposed to impact or chemicals, the Leviton 2310-IG is an industrial grade impact-resistant, chemical-resistant single receptacle and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single accepting #14-10 AWG. Those are the devices aimed at that duty rather than at patient-care circuit identification.
12) Is the Bryant 8350FR a direct replacement for the Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED?
Both are single receptacle wiring devices, so the device footprint and single-outlet face are comparable - the Bryant 8350FR is an FR Series single receptacle. The Pass & Seymour TR-8301RED differs in that it is hospital grade with a dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant system, a red face for identifying dedicated or critical circuits, and an auto-ground feature that removes the need to terminate a grounding conductor to the device. Match the grade and the shutter requirement on your spec before swapping.
13) How does the TR-8301RED ship, and can I buy one?
Packaging is 10 each, so it comes as a 10-piece pack of the TR-8301RED. Worth knowing if you are standardizing a floor or a wing, since one pack covers ten openings.
