Pass & Seymour TR26242-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W tamper-resistant receptacle be back-wired, or is it side-wire only?
Side wire only. The TR26242-W uses backed-out tri-drive steel terminal screws on the sides, with no back-wire (push-in or clamp) provision. If your rough-in leaves short conductors or you were planning to feed the device from the back, you need to allow enough conductor length to loop under the side screws.
2) Will a 15A tamper-resistant receptacle satisfy a 20A branch circuit?
The TR26242-W is rated 15A at 125V. Under NEC rules a 15A receptacle is permitted on a 20A branch circuit when two or more receptacles are on that circuit, but a single receptacle on an individual 20A branch circuit must be rated 20A. For that case look at a 20A device such as the Leviton Decora Plus 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R commercial receptacle or the Eaton BR20W.
3) Where does code require tamper-resistant receptacles, and does this one qualify?
The TR26242-W is a tamper-resistant device with a dual mechanical shutter system that blocks insertion of a single foreign object, so it is the type specified where NEC calls for tamper resistance, including dwelling-unit areas, guest rooms and suites, child care facilities, and similar occupancies. It is cULus Listed.
4) For a patient-care room, can a Pass & Seymour TR26242-W be used, or is a hospital grade receptacle required?
Patient care spaces are typically specified for hospital grade devices, and the TR26242-W is a spec-grade tamper-resistant decorator receptacle rather than a hospital grade one. For those rooms, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white, and the Bryant BRY8200 series is a hospital grade duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V, matching the TR26242-W's 15A, 125V rating. Confirm the hospital grade device also meets any tamper-resistant requirement for pediatric areas separately.
5) What is the closest decorator-style 20A alternative to the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W when the circuit calls for a 5-20R?
The TR26242-W is rated 15A, 125V, so a 20A branch-circuit receptacle requirement needs a different device. The Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is a commercial grade duplex receptacle rated 20-Amp 125-Volt NEMA 5-20R in white, which keeps the same decorator (rocker-style opening) face and white color while moving to the 20A 5-20R configuration. Note the Leviton is a commercial grade device without the dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant system that the Pass & Seymour carries.
6) Does this Pass & Seymour decorator receptacle need a decorator (rectangular opening) wall plate?
Yes. It is a decorator-style body, so it takes a rectangular-opening decorator plate, not a standard duplex plate with two figure-eight openings. Plates are a separate order. The device itself is White with a matte finish, so match the plate color if you want the opening to blend.
7) Can I use this receptacle for a split-circuit or switched-half outlet?
Yes. The TR26242-W has a break-off line-contact connecting tab between the two halves. Snap the tab out on the line (brass) side and you can feed the top and bottom receptacles from separate circuits or run one half off a switch. The tab is accessible without disassembling the device.
8) What is the difference between this spec-grade tamper-resistant receptacle and a residential-grade outlet?
Spec grade here means heavier internal contacts, tri-drive steel terminal screws and an auto-ground clip for positive grounding, aimed at commercial and multi-family work. A residential-grade device like the Leviton 12650W impact-resistant 15A 125V NEMA 5-15R receptacle is built for lighter duty. If the job is industrial or heavy traffic, the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W industrial specification grade 15A 125V device is the step up, though it is not tamper-resistant.
9) Do I still need to run a ground pigtail to the metal box with this receptacle?
The TR26242-W includes an auto-ground clip on the mounting strap, which establishes a positive ground path to a properly grounded metal box through the mounting screw. The green ground screw is still there if you prefer to bond directly with a conductor, and you will need it in a nonmetallic box.
10) What is a lower-cost 15A white duplex receptacle to use instead of the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W where tamper resistance is not required?
Where code does not call for tamper-resistant devices, the Eaton BR15W is a commercial specification grade 15A duplex receptacle that accepts #14-10 AWG conductors. The Leviton 12650W is a residential grade impact-resistant straight-blade duplex receptacle rated 15-Amp 125-Volt NEMA 5-15R. Both step away from the TR26242-W's dual mechanical shutter system and its auto-ground clip, so they are only appropriate in locations where NEC tamper-resistant requirements do not apply.
11) Is an industrial grade receptacle like the Eaton 5262W an upgrade over the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W for a shop or plant floor?
They solve different problems. The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is an industrial specification grade duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V, 5-15R, in gray, built for heavy plug cycling in industrial spaces; the Eaton AH5462V is an extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade device in the same family. The Pass & Seymour TR26242-W is 15A, 125V in white with a matte finish and adds the dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant system plus a break-off line-contact tab for split-circuit wiring, which the industrial devices are not described as carrying. Choose the industrial device for duty cycle, the TR26242-W where tamper resistance or decorator styling governs.
12) We are standardizing a multi-family building on white receptacles. How do the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W and the Eaton BR20W compare?
Both are white devices, and both suit commercial and residential wiring work, but they sit on different circuits. The Eaton BR20W is a commercial specification grade duplex receptacle in white rated 20A/125V. The Pass & Seymour TR26242-W is white with a matte finish, rated 15A, 125V, cULus Listed, with a dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant system and an auto-ground clip. For dwelling units where NEC requires tamper-resistant receptacles, the TR26242-W covers that requirement on 15A circuits; the BR20W would be the choice on 20A circuits where tamper resistance is not called out.
13) The spec calls for a gray commercial grade 20A receptacle. What should I order instead of the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W?
The TR26242-W is a white, 15A, 125V device, so it will not satisfy that call-out. The Leviton 16352 is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex receptacle rated 20A 125V, NEMA 5-20R, in gray, which matches a gray 20A commercial specification. If the drawing also requires decorator styling in 20A, the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus is 20-Amp 125-Volt NEMA 5-20R but in white.
14) How does the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W ship for a multi-unit retrofit?
It is packaged 10 each, which suits unit-by-unit replacement work rather than a single spare. For high-count standardization across a property, the Leviton 16262-HGW is one of the options sold in a 100-pack, though that is a hospital-grade 20A-class alternative rather than a like-for-like.
15) Does the Bryant 5262 industrial grade receptacle offer the same split-circuit wiring capability as the Pass & Seymour TR26242-W?
The Pass & Seymour TR26242-W includes an easily accessed break-off line-contact connecting tab for split-circuit wiring, along with side-wire tri-drive steel terminal screws. The Bryant BRY-526-RECEPT-5262 is an industrial grade duplex receptacle in the 5262 series; it is the heavier-duty industrial device of the two, but split-circuit capability is a feature called out for the Pass & Seymour. For kitchen counter or workbench circuits where one half is switched, the TR26242-W is the device documented for that wiring.
