Pass & Seymour R-885TRWCC6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a recessed receptacle like the Pass & Seymour R885TRWCC6 let me mount a flat-screen TV flush to the wall?
That's the point of it. The R885TRWCC6 sets the duplex contacts back behind the wall surface so the appliance plug sits inside the recess instead of sticking out past the finished wall. Behind a wall-mounted TV, a counter backsplash, or a piece of furniture pushed tight to the wall, you lose the plug bulge that normally keeps the bracket off the drywall. It still works as a normal 15A 125V outlet.
2) Do I need to buy a separate cover plate for the R885TRWCC6?
No separate plate needed. The R885TRWCC6 ships with an integral wall plate, so the device and the finished trim are one piece in matte white. One less line on the material list and one less color match to worry about.
3) Does this recessed outlet satisfy the NEC tamper-resistant requirement for dwelling units?
Yes. The R885TRWCC6 uses tamper-resistant shutters that meet the NEC tamper-resistant code requirement, so it can go in the locations where TR receptacles are mandated in residential work. The device is also UL Listed.
4) I need 20 amps at my kitchen counter. Can I use the R885TRWCC6?
No. The R885TRWCC6 is a 15A 125V device and cannot be used where a 20A receptacle is required on a 20A small-appliance branch circuit. For 20A you'd move to a device like the Leviton 16352-1PW, a commercial grade 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex, or the Leviton Decora Plus 16342 in the same 20A 5-20R rating. Those are flush-mount, not recessed.
5) Will the R885TRWCC6 work for patient care areas, or do I need a hospital grade receptacle?
The R885TRWCC6 is a UL Listed tamper-resistant 15A 125V recessed receptacle built for residential and light commercial use. Where a facility specification calls for hospital grade, use a device carried as such - the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, supplied in a pack of 100. It mounts as a conventional flush device, so it will not give you the recessed plug pocket the Pass & Seymour unit provides.
6) What is the closest standard flush-mount alternative to the Pass & Seymour R885TRWCC6 if the recessed body will not fit the wall cavity?
The R885TRWCC6 is a 15A 125V receptacle whose body sits recessed behind the wall surface with an integral wall plate, so it needs clearance that a shallow cavity or a stud-crowded location may not give. For a conventional flush-mount device at the same 15A 125V rating, the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V with a NEMA 5-15R face in gray, mounted in a standard box with a separate wall plate. You lose the recessed plug pocket, so a plug behind a television or furniture will still protrude.
7) I need 20A receptacles on the same circuits as the R885TRWCC6 - what should I use at the 20A locations?
The R885TRWCC6 is rated 15A at 125V, so it is not the device for a location that must be a 20A receptacle. The Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is a commercial grade duplex rated 20-Amp 125-Volt with a NEMA 5-20R face in white, and the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex at 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R. Both are standard flush devices requiring a separate wall plate rather than the recessed, integral-plate construction of the Pass & Seymour unit.
8) What is the difference between the TP and TPJ series options on this Pass & Seymour recessed receptacle?
They differ only in how much wall they cover. The TP series adds an extra 3/16 inch in width and height over a Standard size plate; the TPJ series adds an extra 3/16 inch in width and height over a Junior-Jumbo size plate. Pick TPJ when you are covering a rougher cutout or a larger existing opening, TP for clean new-work drywall.
9) Is a recessed 15A receptacle the right choice for a commercial job, or should I spec a spec-grade device?
The R885TRWCC6 is built for residential and light commercial use, where the recess solves a clearance problem. For heavy-traffic commercial or industrial circuits where plug retention and abuse resistance drive the spec, a flush spec-grade device is the better call: the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is an industrial specification grade 15A 125V 5-15R duplex, and the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade impact-resistant straight blade receptacle. Neither is recessed, so you give up the flush-plug benefit.
10) Can I standardize all the outlets in my apartment units on this one device?
Only where you need the recess. The R885TRWCC6 is a single white matte finish and a single 15A 125V tamper-resistant configuration, so it will match visually across units, but it is a problem-solver for tight-clearance spots: behind wall-mounted TVs, at furniture pinch points, and at kitchen counters. For general wall outlets throughout a unit, a standard flush TR duplex is the cheaper and simpler fleet device, and you keep the recessed version on the openings that actually need it.
11) For high-traffic commercial corridors, is the R885TRWCC6 or a commercial grade receptacle the better choice?
The R885TRWCC6 is described for residential and light commercial applications, with its advantage being the recessed body that keeps plugs flush behind furniture and flat-screen televisions. For abuse-prone commercial traffic, the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty grade 20A/125V duplex. Those are standard flush devices built around durability rather than plug clearance, so choose on which problem the opening actually has.
12) What should I use instead of the R885TRWCC6 where I need more than two outlets at one location?
The R885TRWCC6 is a duplex device, giving two outlets behind a single integral wall plate. Where one box has to feed four cords, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle rated 20A with a NEMA 5-20R configuration. It is a standard flush-mount device at a different amperage, so confirm the circuit and plate arrangement before substituting.
13) Is a single receptacle like the Eaton 816W or 6450W a substitute for the R885TRWCC6?
Only if one outlet is enough. The R885TRWCC6 is a tamper-resistant duplex rated 15A 125V with a recessed body and integral wall plate. The Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors. Both give a single outlet in a conventional flush body, so a plug installed on them sits proud of the wall.
14) Can the R885TRWCC6 be used in a wet, hazardous, or industrial location?
No - the R885TRWCC6 is a UL Listed 15A 125V tamper-resistant recessed device intended for residential and light commercial interior walls. For hazardous areas, the Appleton FSQC series is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS set is a factory-sealed 3-pole 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle combination. For industrial power at higher voltages, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black, and the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. None of those are interchangeable with a 125V flush wall device.
15) What's the exact part number and manufacturer for this recessed tamper-resistant outlet in white?
Pass & Seymour, catalog number R885TRWCC6, ordered as MPN R-885TRWCC6. It's a 15A 125V tamper-resistant recessed duplex receptacle in white with a matte finish, UL Listed, country of origin China. A full spec sheet PDF is published with the device.
