Pass & Seymour IG8300 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What makes the Pass & Seymour IG8300 an isolated ground receptacle rather than a standard hospital-grade device?
The IG8300 has a plastic barrier that isolates the grounding terminal from the mounting strap, so the equipment ground never bonds to a metal box or conduit. The ground runs back to the panel on its own insulated conductor, giving sensitive electronics a clean ground reference. It is marked with the IG symbol and the words Isolated Ground, and the orange face is the standard visual cue electricians and inspectors look for. If your circuit does not have a separate insulated ground conductor pulled back to the source, an isolated ground device buys you nothing and a standard hospital-grade receptacle is the right part.
2) Is this receptacle approved for patient care areas?
The IG8300 is a heavy-duty hospital-grade duplex receptacle and is cULus Listed. Hospital-grade devices are the type required in patient care spaces, and this one is intended for hospital and healthcare wiring, medical equipment and diagnostic rooms. Whether an isolated ground device specifically is permitted or required in a given room is set by the facility's drawings and the local AHJ, so match it to the spec on the sheet.
3) What is the difference between this orange isolated ground receptacle and a standard white hospital grade receptacle?
Grounding, and that is the whole story. The Pass & Seymour IG8300 is orange because the ground terminal is isolated from the strap and metal box for a clean ground reference. The Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, which bonds its ground to the strap and box in the normal way. Use the white hospital grade device for general patient care outlets and the orange IG device only where the drawings call for an isolated ground circuit with a dedicated insulated ground conductor.
4) What is the closest hospital grade alternative to the Pass & Seymour IG8300 if orange isolated ground is not required?
The Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, supplied in a pack of 100. It covers the hospital grade requirement, while the Pass & Seymour IG8300 adds the isolated ground design with its orange color and IG markings used to identify isolated ground circuits. Choose the 16262-HGW where the circuit is a normal grounded branch circuit and the device only needs to be hospital grade; choose the IG8300 where the drawing calls for an isolated ground reference for sensitive electronic or diagnostic equipment.
5) Can I use a Bryant 5362B heavy-duty receptacle in place of the Pass & Seymour IG8300?
Only on circuits that do not require an isolated ground. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, matching the amperage and voltage of the Pass & Seymour IG8300, and the Bryant 5362BI is the same heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex in an alternate color. What they do not provide is the IG8300's isolated ground construction, which uses a plastic barrier to isolate the grounding terminal from the mounting strap and metal boxes. If the panel schedule shows an isolated ground circuit, stay with the IG8300.
6) Will a 20A 125V isolated ground receptacle work on a 15-amp branch circuit?
The IG8300 is rated 20A at 125V. A 20-amp receptacle is acceptable on a 15-amp branch circuit under the NEC, but the slotted T-neutral face will accept a 20-amp plug that the 15-amp wiring cannot support, so most specs keep 20-amp devices on 20-amp circuits. For a 15-amp isolated ground application, size the device to the circuit instead.
7) Can I back-wire the Pass & Seymour IG8300, or do I have to use the side screws?
Both. The IG8300 terminates back wire or side wire, so you can run the device in whichever method the job calls for. The ground terminal uses a patented external screw-pressure-plate back wire clamp, which means the ground conductor is clamped under a pressure plate rather than wrapped around a screw.
8) Do I need a special plate or box for an isolated ground receptacle?
No special plate. The IG8300 takes a standard duplex wall plate and mounts in a standard box. What it does need is a dedicated insulated equipment grounding conductor run back to the panel, separate from the conduit or box bonding. The device's auto-ground clip assures a positive ground connection on the strap side, while the isolated ground terminal stays separated from it by the internal barrier.
9) I need a 20A 125V duplex receptacle but not an isolated ground one. What else is there?
Plenty of straight-blade options if the isolated ground is not on the spec. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, and the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex. The Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is the same 20-amp 125-volt 5-20R rating in a decorator face for finished commercial spaces. None of those give you an isolated ground, so if the circuit is feeding imaging gear or network equipment that needs a clean ground, stay with the IG8300.
10) Is there an isolated ground receptacle that serves four outlets instead of two?
If two outlets per box is not enough, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A. It is the four-outlet answer at the same 20-amp rating as the Pass & Seymour IG8300 duplex. Quad devices need a deeper or larger box than a single-gang duplex, so check your box fill and depth before swapping.
11) Is there a 20A 125V isolated ground receptacle with more than two outlets instead of the IG8300 duplex?
Yes. The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle rated NEMA 5-20R 20A, giving four outlets in one device, while the Pass & Seymour IG8300 is a 20A 125V duplex with two outlets. Use the quad where equipment density in a data room or equipment rack area needs more outlets per box; use the IG8300 where a standard duplex opening and hospital-grade device is specified.
12) Which Eaton receptacles look like substitutes for the IG8300 but are not?
Two to watch. The Eaton 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R configuration in gray, so it is a lower amperage and a different blade pattern than the 20A 125V Pass & Seymour IG8300. The Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, which is one outlet rather than a duplex. Neither carries the IG8300's isolated ground construction, so neither belongs on an isolated ground circuit.
13) I need an isolated ground type device for a hazardous or wet location, not a hospital room. What should I look at instead of the IG8300?
The Pass & Seymour IG8300 is a 20A 125V hospital-grade isolated ground duplex intended for interior hospital, data room, and institutional wiring. For hazardous locations, the Appleton FSQC series interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, 3-pole, are the devices built for that environment. They are a different device family entirely and do not provide the IG8300's isolated ground branch-circuit reference.
14) My equipment is 277V or a 50A locking connection. Does the IG8300 cover that?
No. The Pass & Seymour IG8300 is rated 20A at 125V with a standard duplex face. For a 277V motor-duty application the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, and for a high amperage locking connection the Eaton 7379 is an extra heavy duty industrial locking receptacle rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC in black. Those are separate circuits and separate devices from a 125V isolated ground duplex.
15) How does the IG8300 hold up in an unheated mechanical room or a hot equipment closet?
The device is rated for continuous operation from -40 degrees C up to +60 degrees C, and it will take -40 C without impact damage. Temperature rise is held to a maximum of 30 degrees C at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current. The face is high-impact resistant nylon and the strap is corrosion-resistant plated steel, which is what you want in damp or dirty mechanical spaces.
16) How many receptacles come in a pack of the Pass & Seymour IG8300?
The IG8300 is packaged 10 each, so one pack covers ten openings. For a floor of patient rooms or a data room build-out, count your isolated ground outlets and order in multiples of ten.
17) If I only need one outlet on an isolated-type dedicated circuit, what single receptacle compares to the IG8300?
The Pass & Seymour IG8300 is a duplex, so for a single-outlet device the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors. Note the difference in grade and construction: the IG8300 is hospital-grade with isolated ground markings, a nylon face, and a corrosion-resistant plated steel strap. A single receptacle suits a dedicated appliance drop where a second outlet is not wanted.
18) For a high-abuse corridor or classroom outlet, is the IG8300 the right choice or is there a tougher commercial option?
The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, which is aimed at abuse-prone general-use locations. The Pass & Seymour IG8300 also uses a high-impact resistant nylon face with a corrosion-resistant plated steel strap, but its orange finish and IG marking identify an isolated ground circuit, so installing it on an ordinary branch circuit mislabels the outlet. Use the 16251W for the general corridor outlets and reserve the IG8300 for true isolated ground runs.
19) Where are Pass & Seymour IG8300 receptacles made?
The IG8300 is manufactured in Mexico. Country of origin matters on government and institutional procurement where domestic-preference clauses apply, so confirm against your contract requirements before specifying it.
