Pass & Seymour TR5351-LA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour TR5251-LA and TR5351-LA receptacles?
Amperage. The TR5251-LA is the 15A version and the TR5351-LA is the 20A version of the same Light Almond tamper-resistant single receptacle at 125V. Pick the one that matches the branch circuit and breaker you are wiring to: 15A device on a 15A circuit, 20A device on a 20A circuit.
2) Is the Pass & Seymour TR-5251LA tamper-resistant receptacle a single outlet or a duplex?
Single. It is one 125V outlet per device, not a duplex pair, so if you are replacing a two-outlet device you will lose a receptacle position. Single receptacles are what you use for a dedicated appliance or equipment drop. If you need two outlets in the opening, order a duplex device instead.
3) Is this receptacle listed for code-required tamper-resistant locations?
The TR-5251LA is cULus Listed and built with a dual mechanical shutter system that blocks insertion of foreign objects into the slots. That is the construction the NEC tamper-resistant requirement calls for in dwelling units and other specified occupancies, so it satisfies a TR callout on the drawing.
4) Is spec grade good enough, or should I be buying hospital grade or industrial grade receptacles?
The TR-5251LA is spec grade with .032 inch brass triple-wipe contacts, which is the normal choice for commercial and multi-family branch circuits. For patient care areas where green-dot hospital grade is required, use a device like the Eaton Hart extra heavy-duty hospital grade single receptacle. For high-abuse plant and shop environments, the Leviton industrial grade impact-resistant, chemical-resistant single receptacle is the heavier option. Note those alternatives are not tamper-resistant devices, so they will not satisfy a TR requirement.
5) Can I use the 20A TR5351-LA on a 15 amp circuit to standardize my building?
A 20A receptacle on a 15A branch circuit is not permitted by the NEC for single receptacles, since a single receptacle on an individual branch circuit must have an ampere rating not less than the circuit. Match the device to the circuit: TR5251-LA on 15A, TR5351-LA on 20A. Both are the same Light Almond spec grade device otherwise.
6) Will this receptacle work for a 250V or 277V piece of equipment?
No. The TR-5251LA is a 125V device. For 250V, the Leviton 16462-W is a 6-20R single receptacle rated 20A 250V. For a 277V motor load, the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour TR-5251LA if a hospital-grade single receptacle is required instead of spec grade?
The TR-5251LA is a spec-grade single receptacle rated 125V and offered in 15A and 20A. Where the facility requires a hospital-grade device, the Eaton Hart 8410W is an extra heavy-duty hospital grade single receptacle, and the Leviton 21254-HI is a hospital grade extra heavy-duty four-in-one straight blade receptacle. Hospital grade devices carry the green dot listing requirements; the TR-5251LA is specified as spec grade with tamper-resistant construction and cULus listing.
8) If the opening needs an industrial-grade single receptacle rather than a commercial spec-grade device, what should be used in place of the TR-5251LA?
The TR-5251LA is a spec-grade 125V single receptacle in light almond. For industrial-grade duty, the Leviton 2310-IG is an industrial grade impact-resistant, chemical-resistant single receptacle, and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle that accepts #14-10 AWG conductors. Those two are industrial grade devices; the TR-5251LA is the spec-grade tamper-resistant option.
9) Is the Eaton 816W or 817B a direct substitute for the Pass & Seymour TR-5251LA 15A?
They are close in class but not identical. The Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, and the Eaton 817B is a commercial specification grade 5-15R single receptacle rated 15A/125V, which matches the 15A, 125V side of the TR-5251LA. The difference to confirm before ordering is tamper resistance: the TR-5251LA is built with a dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant system, which is what satisfies code requirements for tamper-resistant receptacles.
10) Will the Leviton 16462-W work in place of the TR-5251LA 20A version?
No. The Leviton 16462-W is a Decora 6-20R single receptacle rated 20A at 250V, which is a 250V two-pole configuration for 240V equipment. The TR-5251LA is a 125V device, offered as the 15A TR5251-LA and the 20A TR5351-LA. The blade pattern and the circuit voltage are different, so the 16462-W is not a substitute on a 125V branch circuit.
11) Can the TR-5251LA be back-wired, or do I have to use the side screws?
Either. The Pass & Seymour TR-5251LA accepts back and side wire termination, so you can run conductors into the back terminals and clamp them, or wrap the side screws, whichever is faster in the box you are working in.
12) Do I need a separate ground pigtail to the box with this receptacle?
The TR-5251LA has an auto-ground clip that makes a positive ground connection through the mounting strap to a properly grounded metal box. The strap is corrosion-resistant plated steel locked into the face and back body. Many inspectors and job specs still want a bonding conductor landed on the green screw, and that is your call on the install.
13) Can I wire this Pass & Seymour receptacle as a split circuit?
Yes. There is a break-off line-contact connecting tab on the device, so you snap the tab and feed the line side from two circuits for split-circuit wiring. No extra parts needed.
14) Will a tamper-resistant receptacle hold up in an unheated garage or outbuilding?
Temperature range on the TR-5251LA runs from -40C minimum to +60C maximum continuous without impact to operation, which covers unconditioned garages, warehouses, and mechanical spaces. It also holds a maximum 30C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rating.
15) I need a white spec grade single receptacle instead of almond. What else do you have?
The TR-5251LA is Light Almond only. For a white 15A/125V single receptacle, the Eaton commercial specification grade 5-15R single receptacle is a straight-blade equivalent in white. It is not a tamper-resistant device, so only substitute it where TR is not required.
16) What should a contractor use instead of the TR-5251LA when the device needs to serve two outlets or four outlets at one box?
The TR-5251LA is a single receptacle, so it provides one outlet per device. Where more outlets are needed at a single location, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, rated 20A, and the Leviton 21254-HI is a four-in-one straight blade receptacle in hospital grade. Both give four outlet positions in place of the single face on the TR-5251LA.
17) What looks like a substitute for the TR-5251LA but is actually a different type of device?
Several receptacles in the same amperage range are not interchangeable with the TR-5251LA, which is a straight-blade 125V spec-grade single receptacle with back and side wire terminals. The Bryant 70520FR is a flanged locking receptacle, the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, the Appleton ECS set is a factory-sealed 3-pole plug and receptacle set, and the Appleton FSQC is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle for hazardous locations. None of those wire into a standard device box the way the TR-5251LA does.
18) For a commercial corridor or office where tamper resistance is not required, what is a simpler alternative to the TR-5251LA?
The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. Either covers a standard commercial outlet without the dual mechanical shutter system that the TR-5251LA carries. Keep the TR-5251LA where the code requires tamper-resistant devices, such as dwelling-unit and child-occupied areas.
19) How do these Pass & Seymour tamper-resistant receptacles come packed?
They ship 10 each per pack, which suits standardizing a floor or a building on one device rather than buying onesies. Country of origin is Mexico.
20) Is the Bryant 8350FR a match for the Pass & Seymour TR-5251LA?
Both are single receptacle wiring devices, but they are built for different installs. The Bryant 8350FR is an FR Series single receptacle wiring device. The TR-5251LA is a 125V spec-grade single receptacle offered in 15A and 20A with back and side wire terminals, a break-off line tab for split-circuit wiring, and an auto-ground clip. Confirm the configuration and mounting of the 8350FR against the opening before treating it as a replacement.
