Pass & Seymour PT8300-GRY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I wire a Pass & Seymour PT8300 PlugTail receptacle with standard pigtails, or do I need the PlugTail connector?
The PT8300 only works with the PlugTail connector system. The connector carries #12 AWG THHN copper conductors with 6-inch stripped leads, pre-stripped with crimped and welded contacts, and it is stated for use with PlugTail receptacles only. You rough in the connector to the branch circuit, then snap the device on at trim-out. There are no screw terminals on the device to land conductors on, so if your crew is wiring with conventional side-wire or back-wire terminations, a standard hospital-grade device such as the Leviton 16262-HGW is the wiring method you want instead.
2) Is the Pass & Seymour PT8300 a true hospital-grade receptacle for patient care areas?
Yes, the PT8300 is an extra heavy duty hospital-grade duplex rated 20A 125V. It is cULus Listed and Federal Spec Listed. For facility standardization, note it is available in gray (PT8300-GRY), red (PT8300-RED) for emergency-circuit identification, and white (PT8300W).
3) How does the PT8300 compare to a standard heavy-duty 20A duplex like the Bryant 5362B?
Both are 20A 125V duplex receptacles, but they differ in grade and wiring method. The PT8300 is extra heavy duty hospital-grade with a snap-on PlugTail connector and no exposed terminals. The Bryant 5362B is listed as heavy-duty grade, not hospital grade, and is a conventionally terminated device. The Leviton 16352-1PW is another 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R option at commercial grade. If the drawing calls for hospital grade, the heavy-duty and commercial-grade devices will not satisfy it.
4) What is the closest hospital-grade equivalent to the Pass & Seymour PT8300 if a PlugTail connector is not wanted?
The Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white and is the nearest hospital-grade peer. The difference is the termination method: the PT8300 is a PlugTail device that mates to a pre-stripped PlugTail connector with crimped and welded leads and has no exposed terminals, so it only works with PlugTail connectors. The Leviton 16262-HGW is a conventional device wired directly at the device. Choose the Leviton where the rough-in was wired for standard terminations.
5) Will the PlugTail connector on the PT8300 accept solid or stranded branch-circuit wire?
Both. The PlugTail connector leads are rated for termination to solid or stranded conductors, and the leads themselves are #12 AWG THHN copper. The terminations and conductors are captured in an ultrasonically welded polycarbonate housing, so once made up there are no exposed terminals to contact in the box.
6) Which color PT8300 should I order for emergency power circuits in a hospital?
Red. The PT8300 comes in red (PT8300-RED), which is the convention for devices fed from the essential electrical system, with gray (PT8300-GRY) and white (PT8300W) for normal power. All three are the same 20A 125V hospital-grade device with a matte finish.
7) Do I need a separate ground jumper to the box with the PT8300?
The PT8300 has an auto-ground clip that makes a positive ground connection through the mounting strap, and the PlugTail connector brings the equipment grounding conductor to the device. Grounding details in patient care spaces are governed by your local code and inspector, so verify the method against the project spec.
8) I need a hospital-grade duplex but in bulk for a whole floor. What are my options?
The PT8300 is ordered by color, gray, red, or white, and uses the PlugTail connector so trim-out goes faster on a large job. If you want a conventionally wired hospital-grade device bought in volume, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital-grade duplex supplied in packs of 100.
9) Is the PT8300 safe to handle on a live rough-in before the devices go on?
That is the point of the design. The PlugTail connector is a finger-safe housing with no exposed terminals before, during, or after installation, and the housing is UL Listed. The device itself is cULus Listed. Crews can land the connectors early, energize, and snap devices on later without exposed screw terminals in the box.
10) What is the difference between the PT8300 and the Bryant 5362B for a 20A 125V duplex outlet?
Both are 20A 125V duplex receptacles. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty grade device, as is the 5362BI, and both are wired directly at the device. The PT8300 is hospital grade and uses the PlugTail system, so the branch circuit lands on a separate pre-stripped connector and the device plugs onto it. If the job is standard back-box wiring with no PlugTail connectors stocked, the Bryant devices fit that workflow; if the job standardizes on PlugTail for fast swap-outs, the PT8300 does.
11) What should be used instead of the PT8300 when more than two outlets are needed at one location?
The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A, giving four outlets at a single device location on the same 20-amp 125V class of circuit the PT8300 serves. The PT8300 is a duplex, so it provides two. The quad is a conventionally wired device rather than a PlugTail device.
12) What is the temperature range the PT8300 receptacle can operate in?
Continuous operation runs from -40 C to +60 C, which covers unconditioned mechanical rooms and loading areas as well as patient rooms. Temperature rise is held to a maximum of 30 C at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current.
13) What are the contacts inside the PT8300 made of, and will they hold a plug long-term?
Power contacts are .036 inch thick brass with a triple-wipe design, which is what gives the device its blade retention over repeated plug cycles. That construction plus the extra heavy duty hospital-grade rating is why it goes into high-cycle locations like patient rooms and equipment carts.
14) For a high-abuse corridor or classroom, is the PT8300 or an impact-resistant commercial device the better choice?
The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, built around resistance to physical abuse. The PT8300 is an extra heavy duty hospital-grade device with .036 inch brass triple-wipe power contacts and an auto-ground clip, rated for a maximum 30 degree C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rating. Pick the Leviton where impact is the main concern and hospital grade is not required; pick the PT8300 where hospital grade and PlugTail termination are specified.
15) If only one outlet is needed at a device location, what single receptacle compares to the PT8300?
The Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. Both are single-outlet devices wired directly at the device, where the PT8300 is a duplex hospital-grade device on the PlugTail connector system. Confirm the circuit amperage before choosing the 15A single.
