Pass & Seymour PT2097 PlugTail Specification Grade 20A Duplex Self-Test GFCI Receptacle

The Pass & Seymour PT2097 PlugTail Specification Grade 20A Duplex Self-Test GFCI Receptacle brings quick-connect PlugTail wiring to critical GFCI protection. This 20A device works with existing three-wire PlugTail connectors, creating a non-feed-through application that suits facility owners who install the same right-angle connector at rough-in for both GFCI and standard receptacle openings. Built-in SafeLock Protection disconnects power to the receptacle if critical internal components are damaged and protection is lost, and the device is cULus Listed for code-compliant installation. This family is available in Light Almond and White, with both color options sharing identical 20A GFCI performance, SafeLock Protection, and PlugTail connectivity.

Key Features

  • SafeLock Protection: If critical components are damaged and protection is lost, power to the receptacle is automatically disconnected.
  • Durable Construction: Zinc-plated steel mounting strap resists corrosion and supports a long service life.
  • PlugTail Connector System: Works with existing 3-wire PlugTail connectors to create a non-feed-through application, with the same right-angle connector used for both GFCI and receptacle openings at rough-in.
  • 20A Rated GFCI: Duplex Self-Test GFCI receptacle rated 20A for specification-grade electrical protection.
  • Finger-Safe Design: No exposed terminals create a finger-safe application before, during, and after installation.
  • Reliable Connections: Built-in connector features large brass terminal blades to ensure consistent, reliable electrical connections to the PlugTail Connector.
  • Automatic Self-Test: Conducts an automatic test every three seconds to ensure it's always ready to protect; the indicator light flashes to signal when the GFCI should be replaced.
  • Consistent Installation: PlugTail devices and connectors mean device installation is consistent regardless of the installer's skill level, with UL-Listed connectors keyed to ensure proper wiring into each receptacle.
  • Finish: Matte finish available in Light Almond or White to match facility decor.

Pass & Seymour PT2097-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour PT2097 GFCI be wired with standard pigtails or screw terminals?
No. The PT2097 is a PlugTail device, so it has no screw terminals or back-wire holes at all. It plugs into an existing 3-wire PlugTail connector that gets installed at rough-in. If the box was wired conventionally, you either add a PlugTail connector or choose a standard-terminal GFCI instead.
2) Will the PT2097 protect downstream outlets on the same circuit?
It will not. Using the 3-wire PlugTail connector makes this a non-feed-through application, so protection covers the receptacle itself only. Downstream devices on that branch need their own GFCI protection or a feed-through GFCI at the first box.
3) Can I use the same PlugTail connector for GFCI and regular receptacle openings at rough-in?
Yes, that is the point of the PT2097. The same right-angle 3-wire PlugTail connector serves both GFCI and standard receptacle openings, so rough-in crews install one connector type throughout and the device choice gets made later. The connectors are UL Listed and keyed so each one wires correctly into the receptacle.
4) What happens to the PT2097 if the GFCI circuitry fails?
SafeLock Protection cuts power to the receptacle if critical internal components are damaged and ground fault protection is lost, so you don't get an unprotected outlet that still energizes a tool. Separately, the device self-tests every three seconds and flashes its indicator light when it needs replacing.
5) If the box is already wired for standard screw-terminal devices, what 20A duplex receptacle can be used instead of the Pass & Seymour PT2097?
The PT2097 is built around the PlugTail quick-connect system, so it mates to a PlugTail connector rather than to conductors landed on the device itself. Where conductors are terminated directly to the device, a conventional 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex such as the Leviton 16352-1PW commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex or the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex is the wiring match. Note that neither of those is a GFCI device, so GFCI protection would have to come from upstream.
6) Does the Bryant 5362B or Leviton 16342 provide the same ground-fault protection as the PT2097?
No. The PT2097 is a duplex self-test GFCI with SafeLock Protection, which disconnects power to the receptacle if critical internal components are damaged and protection is lost. The Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex and the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus commercial grade 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex are straight receptacles at the same amperage, so they look like substitutes on the nameplate but carry no ground-fault function of their own.
7) For a patient care area, is the PT2097 the right receptacle or is there a hospital grade option?
The PT2097 is a specification grade 20A PlugTail GFCI, cULus Listed, and is aimed at general commercial and institutional wiring. Where the specification calls for a hospital grade device, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white supplied in packs of 100. It is a straight-blade device, so GFCI protection in those circuits would be handled separately.
8) Can the PT2097 be used in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
The PT2097 is a cULus Listed specification grade device for commercial and institutional facility wiring, with a matte finish in light almond or white. For classified hazardous areas, the Appleton FSQC series interlocked explosionproof receptacle is the purpose-built family, and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set is a 3-pole factory-sealed assembly. Those are a different device class entirely and do not accept PlugTail connectors.
9) Is the PT2097 a 20 amp GFCI, and what colors does it come in?
Rated 20A, duplex, self-test GFCI. Two colors are offered, Light Almond (PT2097-LA) and White (PT2097-W), both with a matte finish and identical electrical performance. Devices ship 10 each per pack.
10) Is the PT2097 GFCI listed for commercial code-compliant work?
The PT2097 is cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installations. It is a specification grade device with a zinc-plated steel mounting strap for corrosion resistance in commercial and institutional wiring.
11) Is this GFCI suitable for patient care areas in a hospital?
The PT2097 is a specification grade commercial device, not a hospital grade one. Where hospital grade is required, the Leviton 16262-HGW duplex receptacle is a hospital grade option, though it is a standard receptacle without GFCI protection. Confirm with your facility's electrical spec which rating the room requires.
12) I need four 20A outlets at one location instead of the PT2097's two. What should I look at?
The PT2097 is a duplex device, giving two 20A outlets per opening. Where four outlets are wanted from a single position, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle in NEMA 5-20R at 20A. It is a straight-blade device, not a GFCI, so ground-fault protection for that circuit would need to come from elsewhere.
13) Will the PT2097 work for a 277V or 250V piece of equipment?
No. The PT2097 is a 125V-class 20A duplex GFCI receptacle for standard commercial outlets. For higher-voltage equipment circuits, the Bryant 430R9W 4750DR 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 in black. Those are locking and motor-duty configurations that will not accept a standard straight-blade plug.
14) In a high-abuse corridor or school, is the PT2097 the durable choice or is there something tougher?
The PT2097 is a specification grade device with a zinc-plated steel mounting strap that resists corrosion, and its self-test circuit checks protection every three seconds. Where impact resistance at the face is the driver, the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Bryant 5362BI is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex. Both are straight-blade devices without GFCI function.
15) Does the PlugTail system reduce install errors for apprentices and multi-trade crews?
That is the design intent. Because the device simply plugs into a keyed connector, installation is the same regardless of installer skill level, and there are no exposed terminals before, during, or after install, so the device is finger-safe. Large brass terminal blades in the built-in connector keep the connection consistent.
16) Only one device is needed at the opening, not a duplex. What is the alternative to the PT2097?
The PT2097 is a duplex. For single-outlet openings, the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade 15A single receptacle. Both terminate conductors at the device rather than through the PlugTail connector the PT2097 uses.
17) We want a decorator-style face on a 20A outlet. Does the PT2097 match that look?
The PT2097 has a matte finish in light almond or white and carries the GFCI test and reset buttons on its face. For a decorator rectangular opening, the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is a commercial grade 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex in white, and the Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle. Neither of those provides ground-fault protection, so a GFCI device or breaker would still be needed on the circuit.
