Pass & Seymour TP8ERED TradeMaster 1-Gang Nylon Wall Plate, Emergency Red
The Pass & Seymour TP8ERED is a TradeMaster 1-Gang nylon wall plate featuring a single duplex receptacle opening and a pad-printed "Emergency" designation in Red for fast visual identification of critical circuits. Molded of rugged, self-extinguishing nylon and backed by cULus Listing, this TP-series plate is built for hospital, industrial, institutional, and other high-abuse environments where standard plates fall short.

Pass & Seymour TP8-ERED – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour TP8ERED cover an oversized or damaged wall opening around a duplex receptacle?
The TP8ERED is a TP series plate, which adds 3/16 inch of extra width and height over a standard-size plate, so it covers ragged drywall cuts and oversized box openings a standard plate leaves exposed. Overall size is 4.688 inches high by 2.938 inches wide, with a 0.25 inch depth. It takes a single duplex receptacle opening in a 1-gang configuration.
2) Does a red wall plate marked Emergency satisfy identification of life-safety receptacles in a hospital?
The plate is red with a pad-printed "Emergency" marking, which is how facility staff and electricians pick out critical-branch and life-safety receptacles at a glance. It is cULus listed. The marking is printed, not a stick-on label, so it will not peel off in a cleaned corridor. Note that it identifies the circuit only; it does not make the receptacle itself hospital grade, which is a property of the device behind the plate.
3) I need matching red Emergency plates for a whole floor, but a few boxes are multi-gang. Does this cover those?
No. The TP8ERED is strictly 1-gang with one duplex opening, so it will not fit a 2-gang or 3-gang box. For a 3-gang duplex opening ZenSupply carries the Mulberry 76103 Princess size steel 3-gang, 3-duplex plate, though that one is white rather than red. Keep the TP8ERED for the single-gang emergency outlets and spec the multi-gang positions separately.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour TP8ERED if a stainless steel plate is required instead of nylon?
The Mulberry 93101 is a 302 stainless steel 1-gang duplex receptacle wallplate, so it covers the same single duplex opening in a metal plate rather than the TP8ERED's nylon construction. The tradeoff is the marking and color: the TP8ERED is red nylon with a pad-printed Emergency designation, which stainless plates do not carry. If the emergency circuit identification is the reason for the plate, the TP8ERED is the one that provides it; if the spec calls for metal at the device, the 93101 is the straight 1-gang duplex substitute.
5) Is the Bryant P8 a substitute for the Pass & Seymour TP8ERED on an emergency receptacle?
The Bryant P8 series is a 1-gang duplex wallplate, so it fits the same single duplex device opening. It is not an equivalent for emergency circuit identification, though - the TP8ERED is a red nylon plate with a pad-printed Emergency label for fast visual identification of life-safety circuits, which is the defining feature of the part. Use the Bryant P8 where a plain 1-gang duplex plate is all the opening needs, and the TP8ERED where the circuit has to read as emergency at a glance.
6) Nylon or stainless steel wall plate for a high-abuse corridor?
The TP8ERED is molded self-extinguishing nylon at .070 inch nominal thickness, which is what gets specified when you need color coding, in this case red for emergency circuits, plus impact resistance. Stainless cannot carry a color. If appearance or maximum physical toughness outranks circuit identification, ZenSupply also carries the Mulberry 93101 in 302 stainless steel and the Mulberry 97101 screw-mount stainless duplex plate, both 1-gang duplex.
7) What is the Pass & Seymour part number for the red Emergency 1-gang duplex plate, and where is it made?
Order it as Pass & Seymour TP8ERED, part number TP8-ERED, from the TradeMaster TP series. Country of origin is the United States, which matters on Buy American and federal or municipal project specs.
8) I need to cover three duplex receptacles in one box - what should I order instead of the TP8ERED?
The TP8ERED is a 1-gang plate with a single duplex receptacle opening, so it will not cover a 3-gang box. The Mulberry 76103 is a Princess size 3-gang steel wallplate with three duplex receptacle openings in white, which is the configuration to use for a three-device box. Note that the 76103 is a plain white steel plate, so it does not carry the Emergency marking the TP8ERED provides; if those three devices are on emergency circuits, identification has to be handled another way.
9) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour TP8ERED and the Mulberry 97101 for a hospital corridor receptacle?
Both cover a single duplex receptacle. The Mulberry 97101 is a 9710 Series stainless steel screw-mount duplex receptacle wallplate, so it is a metal plate at the device. The TP8ERED is molded of self-extinguishing nylon in red with a pad-printed Emergency label, is cULus listed, and is a TP series plate that adds 3/16 inch extra width and height versus standard-size plates for added wall coverage, measuring 4.688 in high by 2.938 in wide. For a hospital opening the choice usually comes down to whether the drawing calls for stainless at the device or for red emergency identification.
10) Is this an unpainted or glossy red, and will it match other plates on the job?
Red with a matte finish. Matte hides handprints and scuffs better than gloss in corridors and patient rooms, but it will not visually match a gloss red plate installed alongside it, so keep one finish per area.
11) Is there a plain red TP series plate without the Emergency wording?
The TP8ERED carries the pad-printed "Emergency" designation as part of the plate, so it is not an unmarked red plate. If you want red with no text, specify an unprinted red TP series plate instead. For an unmarked standard 1-gang duplex plate ZenSupply also carries the Bryant P8 series.
