Pass & Seymour PSE-5258 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pass & Seymour 5258 a single outlet or a duplex?
The 5258 is a single receptacle, one outlet per device, rated 15A 125V in brown. Use it where one dedicated outlet is wanted on the circuit, such as a single appliance or equipment drop. If you need two outlets in the same box opening, a duplex is the device to order instead, like the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W heavy-duty industrial duplex at 15A 125V, 5-15R.
2) Does the 5258 receptacle wire with side screws or push-in back wire?
Side wire only. The terminal screws come backed out from the factory, tri-drive steel heads, so you wrap and tighten on the side of the device. There are no back-wire pressure plates on it, so plan your box fill and conductor loops for side termination.
3) Is this receptacle approved for commercial work in Canada as well as the US?
It carries both UL Listed and CSA Listed marks, so it is acceptable for US and Canadian installations. Spec grade construction with a zinc-plated steel strap and brass triple-wipe contacts is what backs that up on commercial and industrial jobs.
4) Can I plug a 20-amp appliance into this 15A 125V single receptacle?
No. The 5258 is rated 15A at 125V and takes standard 15-amp parallel-blade plugs. A 20-amp appliance with a T-slot plug will not enter it and should not be adapted. For 20A 125V work, order a 20-amp device such as the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty duplex or the Leviton 16352-1PW NEMA 5-20R duplex.
5) Is a spec-grade receptacle good enough for a hospital patient-care area?
No. Patient-care spaces call for hospital grade devices with the green dot, and the 5258 is a spec-grade commercial device, not hospital grade. For that work use the Leviton 16262-HGW hospital grade duplex. The 5258 is the right class of device for offices, retail, industrial plants, and multi-family renovation.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 5258 single receptacle from another brand?
The Pass & Seymour 5258 is a 15A 125V single receptacle with side-wire terminals. The nearest cross-brand counterpart is the Eaton commercial specification grade single receptacle 816W, also a 15A single receptacle. Eaton also offers a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle, the 6450W, rated for #14-10 AWG conductors, if you want a decorator-style opening in the wall plate rather than the standard single-receptacle face of the 5258.
7) I need two outlets at the same location instead of one - what should I use in place of the 5258?
The Pass & Seymour 5258 is a single receptacle, so it accepts one plug. For two devices at the same box, use a duplex: the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R face in gray, which matches the 5258's 15A 125V rating. If you want a 20A duplex instead, the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A 125V duplex and the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty duplex rated 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R.
8) Can I use the Pass & Seymour 5258 in a patient care area of a hospital?
The 5258 is a spec-grade 15A 125V receptacle that is UL Listed and CSA Listed, but it is not a hospital grade device. Where your facility's requirement calls for hospital grade, use a device carried at that grade, such as the Leviton 16262-HGW hospital grade duplex receptacle in white.
9) Will the Pass & Seymour 5258 work in a hazardous or wet industrial location?
No. The 5258 is a standard spec-grade 15A 125V wiring device for commercial, industrial, and residential branch circuits and has no explosionproof or factory-sealed enclosure. For classified areas, use a device built for it: the Appleton FSQC series interlocked explosionproof receptacle, or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp 3-pole plug and receptacle set.
10) I need a 277V or 50A receptacle - can the 5258 be used?
No. The Pass & Seymour 5258 is rated 15A at 125V only. For a 277V motor circuit, the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. For high-current locking service, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black.
11) Can I use the 5258 in an unheated garage, warehouse, or outdoor-rated enclosure?
Temperature range is continuous operation from -40C to +60C, so cold storage, unconditioned warehouse, and garage circuits are within rating. Temperature rise is held to a maximum of 30C at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150% of rated current. The device itself is not a weatherproof assembly, so outdoors it needs an appropriate enclosure and cover.
12) Do I still need to run a ground pigtail to the box with this receptacle?
An auto-ground clip is built in, which makes a positive ground connection to a properly grounded metal box at the mounting screw. The green grounding screw terminal is there as well if your installation calls for a bonding jumper, and you will want it on a nonmetallic box or where the box grounding path is not reliable.
13) Will a short-strap receptacle like the 5258 fit a shallow or crowded box?
It is built on a short strap, which keeps the device body within the standard single-gang opening and is the usual choice when a box is tight or ganged close. The strap is heavy-duty zinc-plated steel for mounting strength and corrosion resistance.
14) Will brown devices match the outlets already installed in my older building?
Brown is the legacy standard device color used throughout most older commercial and residential wiring, so the 5258 blends with existing brown receptacles and brown wallplates without repainting or replacing covers. If the building has been converted to ivory or white, pick the matching color rather than mixing brown into the run.
15) Why choose this over an explosionproof or locking receptacle for a plant?
The 5258 is a general-purpose 15A 125V single outlet for ordinary locations. In a classified hazardous area you need a factory-sealed or explosionproof device instead, such as the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set. Where a plug must not be pulled loose, a locking device like the Eaton 7379 industrial locking receptacle at 50A is the right family.
16) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 5258 and an isolated ground or quad receptacle like the Bryant 21254IGO?
The 5258 is a single 15A 125V receptacle with an auto-ground clip that bonds the strap to the box at installation. The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle with a NEMA 5-20R configuration rated 20A, so it gives four 20A outlet positions at one location rather than one 15A position. Choose by how many plugs the location has to serve and whether the circuit is 15A or 20A.
17) Is there a tougher receptacle than the Pass & Seymour 5258 for a high-abuse area?
The 5258 is spec grade with a zinc-plated steel strap and one-piece brass triple-wipe contacts. If the location takes heavy physical abuse, step up to a device catalogued at a higher grade: the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Eaton 5262W is industrial specification grade. Bryant's 5362BI is also a heavy-duty grade device.
18) How many receptacles come in a pack of the 5258?
Packaging is 10 each, so a single pack covers ten openings. Order quantity in multiples of that if you are standardizing a floor or a building on brown spec-grade singles.
19) What manufacturer part number do I order for the Pass & Seymour brown spec-grade single?
Order Pass & Seymour part number 5258. That is the brown, 15A 125V, side-wire spec-grade single receptacle, made in Mexico.
20) How durable are the contacts for frequent plug-in and unplug cycles?
Power contacts are one-piece brass, triple-wipe, .032 inch thick, which is what holds blade retention over repeated cycles rather than the thin stamped contacts found on residential-grade devices. That plus the steel strap is the practical difference spec grade buys you on a high-traffic outlet.
