Pass & Seymour PT-8300HRED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What colors does the Pass & Seymour PT8300H hospital-grade receptacle come in?
Two colors: red (PT-8300HRED) and white (PT-8300HW). In healthcare work the red body is normally used to identify outlets fed from the emergency or generator-backed branch, while white goes on normal power. Both are the same 20A, 125V hospital-grade compact duplex device, so you can standardize one device across a facility and just change the color by circuit.
2) What is a PlugTail receptacle and why would I use one instead of a standard back-wired device?
PlugTail splits the device from the wiring. The PT8300H receptacle has no screw terminals to wire in the field: a separate PlugTail connector is pre-wired into the box, then the device plugs onto it. On the PT8300H, large brass contacts terminate onto the device blade terminals for a secure low-resistance connection. That means rough-in and trim-out are separate operations, and swapping a failed device later is a disconnect and reconnect rather than a rewire. The trade-off is that you must order the matching PlugTail connector for the circuit separately, since it is not part of the receptacle.
3) Is the PT8300H actually hospital grade, and is it UL listed?
It is built as a heavy-duty hospital-grade compact duplex receptacle and is cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian listing. Those are the two things a facility inspector asks about on a patient-care-area outlet.
4) Will a compact duplex receptacle fit in a shallow or crowded box?
That is the point of the compact body. The PT8300H measures 3.281 in high, 1.5 in wide and 0.625 in deep, so the device itself takes very little box volume compared with a conventional duplex yoke. It is a good pick for shallow boxes, boxes already full of conductors, and multi-gang trim where space is tight. Remember the PlugTail connector and its pigtails still occupy space in the box.
5) What wire size does the PT8300H PlugTail receptacle accept?
It is set up for #12 AWG THHN, which is the normal conductor for a 20A branch circuit. If your branch is run in #10 for voltage drop, plan on transitioning down at the box.
6) Can I use the PT8300H on a 15A circuit or for a 240V load?
No on 240V. This is a 125V device only, so it cannot serve a 208/240V load. On the amperage side it is rated 20A at 125V and uses the 20A configuration, so the straight-blade face will not accept it if you need a 15A-only opening; a 15A plug will still insert into a 20A receptacle, but a 20A receptacle should be fed by a 20A circuit.
7) What finish is the white PT8300HW, and will it match other devices on the wall?
The PT-8300HW is white with a matte finish rather than a gloss, so it reads flat next to matte wall plates and other matte-finish devices. If the existing openings in the building are gloss white, expect a visible sheen difference on a side-by-side replacement.
8) Where is the Pass & Seymour PT8300H receptacle made?
Country of origin is Mexico. Worth confirming against your project's domestic-preference requirements if you are buying for a government or federally funded healthcare job.
