Pass & Seymour PTTR8300-RED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I wire a PlugTail PTTR8300 receptacle with ordinary branch circuit wire, or do I need the PlugTail connector?
The PTTR8300 requires a PlugTail connector. The device has a built-in connector with large brass terminal blades, and the mating connector is a keyed #12 AWG THHN copper pigtail with 6 inch stripped leads (solid or stranded) that is for use with PlugTail receptacles only. You rough in and terminate the connector, then snap the device on at trim out. Budget one connector per device, since the receptacle itself does not land conductors under screws in the usual way.
2) Is the Pass & Seymour PTTR8300 a hospital grade receptacle suitable for patient care areas?
Yes. The PTTR8300 is a hospital-grade tamper-resistant duplex rated 20A, 125V, and it is cULus Listed and Federal Spec Listed. It is built for patient care and clinical areas, with a plated steel wrap strap for durability and corrosion resistance and an auto-ground clip for positive ground.
3) What is the closest hospital-grade alternative to the Pass & Seymour PTTR8300 if the PlugTail connector system is not being used on the job?
The Leviton 8300-IGW is a hospital grade narrow body impact-resistant duplex receptacle, which puts it in the same hospital grade class as the PTTR8300. The difference is the termination method: the PTTR8300 is built around the PlugTail connector system, with a keyed #12 AWG THHN connector and 6 inch stripped leads, plus back and side wire terminations on the device itself. The Leviton 8300-IGW is a conventional narrow body device, so on a job not standardized on PlugTail connectors it wires like any other receptacle. Note the PTTR8300 also carries a dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant design, which is not part of the 8300-IGW description.
4) Is there a tamper-resistant 20A receptacle that does not require hospital grade for corridors and offices?
For non-patient-care spaces, the Eaton TRBR15W-BXSP is a tamper-resistant duplex receptacle rated 15A in white and built to commercial specification grade. The Pass & Seymour PTTR8300 is rated 20A at 125V and is a hospital-grade device with a dual mechanical shutter system. If the branch circuit and spec call for 20A, the TRBR15W-BXSP's 15A rating will not satisfy it; if 15A is acceptable in those rooms, it covers the tamper-resistant requirement at commercial grade.
5) Does a specification grade receptacle like the Leviton 5362-E meet the same requirement as the hospital-grade PTTR8300?
Not for patient care areas. The Leviton 5362-E is an industrial specification grade extra heavy-duty 20-amp 125-volt NEMA 5-20R straight blade duplex, and the Leviton 8300-IGW is a hospital grade device. Specification grade and hospital grade are separate classifications, and where a drawing calls for hospital grade the PTTR8300, a hospital-grade tamper-resistant 20A 125V device with cULus and Federal Spec Listing, or the hospital grade 8300-IGW are the ones that answer it.
6) What colors does the PTTR8300 hospital grade receptacle come in, and which one do I use for emergency power?
Three colors: Ivory (PTTR8300-I), Red (PTTR8300-RED), and White (PTTR8300-W), all matte. Red is the color used on circuits fed from the essential electrical system / emergency generator branch in healthcare work, so that is the one to order for those outlets. Electrical performance is identical across the three.
7) Will a 20A PTTR8300 accept a 15 amp plug, and can I put it on a 15A circuit?
A 20A, 125V duplex accepts both 15A and 20A straight-blade plugs, since the 5-20R face takes the parallel 15A blades as well as the T-slot 20A configuration. Protect it at the breaker that matches the branch circuit conductors; a 20A device on a 15A circuit is allowed by NEC, but the PlugTail connector supplied with this family is #12 AWG, which is 20A wire.
8) Is the PTTR8300 safe to handle during rough-in with the circuit live?
The PlugTail connector housing is ultrasonically welded polycarbonate and UL Listed as finger-safe, with no exposed terminals before, during, or after installation. That is the point of the system: the conductors are captured in the connector at rough-in, and nothing live is reachable when the device is snapped on later.
9) How does the PTTR8300 compare to a Leviton 8300-IGW hospital grade receptacle?
Both are hospital grade duplex devices. The Leviton 8300-IGW is a narrow body impact-resistant hospital grade receptacle wired conventionally under its own terminals. The Pass & Seymour PTTR8300 adds tamper-resistant dual shutters and uses the PlugTail keyed connector system, so the box is terminated once and the device plugs in. If you are not standardizing on PlugTail connectors, the Leviton is the simpler drop-in; if you are, the PTTR8300 keeps the same termination method across the job.
10) I need tamper-resistant 20A receptacles but not hospital grade. What else is there?
For commercial spec grade rather than hospital grade, Eaton's TRBR15W-BXSP is a tamper-resistant duplex in white, though it is a 15A device. For a 20A commercial spec grade duplex without tamper resistance, the Eaton BR20W is rated 20A/125V. Step up to the PTTR8300 when the spec calls for hospital grade and tamper-resistant shutters together.
11) Does the PTTR8300 need a separate ground wire pigtail to the box?
An auto-ground clip on the plated steel wrap strap gives positive ground through the mounting strap to a properly grounded metal box. The grounding conductor is still landed in the PlugTail connector along with the hot and neutral, so grounding is handled at the connector rather than by a loose pigtail at the device.
12) I need a 20A 125V duplex for general commercial rooms, not patient care. What can I use instead of the PTTR8300?
Two straight 20A 125V options sit alongside it. The Leviton 16352 is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex, 20A 125V, NEMA 5-20R in gray. The Leviton 5362-E is an industrial specification grade extra heavy-duty straight blade duplex, 20-amp 125-volt NEMA 5-20R. Both are conventional straight-blade devices without a tamper-resistant shutter system and without the PlugTail connector; the PTTR8300 is 20A 125V with a dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant design and a keyed PlugTail connector, and is offered in ivory, red, or white.
13) What is a simpler 20A white duplex if the tamper-resistant shutters are not required?
The Eaton BR20W is a commercial specification grade duplex receptacle rated 20A/125V in white, matching the amperage and voltage of the Pass & Seymour PTTR8300 without the shutter mechanism or the PlugTail connector. The PTTR8300 is the hospital-grade tamper-resistant device with back and side wire terminations and a plated steel wrap strap, available in ivory, red, or white.
14) For a red receptacle on emergency power, is there an equivalent to the PTTR8300-RED?
Among the comparable 20A devices, the Pass & Seymour PTTR8300 is the one offered in red, as PTTR8300-RED, alongside ivory and white. The Leviton 16352 is a commercial grade 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R device supplied in gray, and the Eaton BR20W is a commercial specification grade 20A/125V device in white. If the facility convention is red for emergency branch circuits, the PTTR8300-RED is the one that meets it while also providing hospital-grade tamper-resistant construction.
15) Will the tamper-resistant shutters on the PTTR8300 stop a plug from going in?
A properly aligned two- or three-blade plug pushes both shutters open at once and seats normally. The dual mechanical shutter system only blocks insertion when something enters a single slot, which is what prevents foreign objects from being pushed in. Expect slightly more insertion force than a non-TR device, and seat the plug straight.
16) Can the PTTR8300 handle the heat in a continuously loaded circuit?
Maximum temperature rise is 30 degrees C at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current. Continuous operating range is +60 degrees C maximum down to -40 degrees C minimum without impact, so it holds up in unconditioned spaces as well as patient rooms.
17) How are the PTTR8300 receptacles packaged, and where are they made?
Packaged 10 each, which is worth knowing when you are counting devices against a floor plan. Country of origin is Mexico, the detail Buy American and federal projects usually want confirmed up front.
