Pass & Seymour TR5251-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Pass & Seymour TR5251W meet the tamper-resistant receptacle requirement for dwelling units?
The TR5251W is a tamper-resistant receptacle with a dual mechanical shutter system that blocks insertion of foreign objects, which is what the TR requirement in dwelling units and child-occupied spaces is asking for. It is cULus Listed and rated 15A at 125V.
2) Is the TR5251W a single receptacle or a standard duplex outlet?
It is a single receptacle, one 15A 125V outlet on the face, not a duplex. If you need two outlets in the opening, this is the wrong device. Among tamper-resistant and spec-grade singles, the Eaton 15A/125V 5-15R commercial specification grade single receptacle is a comparable single-outlet option.
3) Can the TR5251W be back-wired, or do I have to use the side screws?
Either way. Connection is back and side wire, so you can land conductors in the back clamp or wrap them on the side terminals, whichever your box fill and rough-in favour. An auto-ground clip handles the ground connection to a properly grounded metal box.
4) Can the Pass & Seymour TR5251W be used in a patient care area, or is a hospital grade receptacle required?
The TR5251W is a spec-grade tamper-resistant single receptacle, cULus listed, and is not a hospital grade device. Where the facility requires hospital grade, use the Eaton 8410W Hart extra heavy-duty hospital grade single receptacle or the Leviton 21254-HI hospital grade extra heavy-duty four-in-one straight blade receptacle. The Leviton unit is a four-in-one configuration rather than a single, so box fill and plate selection change with it.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour TR5251W from another brand for a 15A 125V single receptacle?
The TR5251W is a 15A 125V single receptacle in white. The closest cross-brand match is the Eaton 817B, a commercial specification grade 5-15R single receptacle rated 15A/125V. The Eaton 816W is also a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. The TR5251W differs in that it carries a dual mechanical shutter tamper-resistant system, so if the opening requires tamper-resistant receptacles the Pass & Seymour device covers that requirement directly.
6) If a receptacle needs to take abuse in a corridor or shop, is there a heavier-duty option than the Pass & Seymour TR5251W?
The TR5251W is a construction spec-grade device with a plated and tabbed steel strap and .032 inch brass triple-wipe contacts. For a step up in duty rating, the Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG, and the Leviton 2310-IG is an industrial grade impact-resistant and chemical-resistant single receptacle. The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle. None of those three are specified as tamper-resistant, so swapping to them gives up the shutter system the TR5251W provides.
7) Can I split-circuit the TR5251W for a switched half?
No. The TR5251W is a single receptacle, so there is nothing to split. The break-off line-contact connecting tab referenced in its wiring description belongs to the device family's split-circuit feature; for a switched half you need a duplex device instead.
8) Will the TR5251W fit a standard single-gang box and wall plate?
Device body measures 3.28 in height, 1.38 in width and 1.19 in depth, which is a standard strap-mounted wiring device footprint for a single-gang box. Because it is a single receptacle, use a single-receptacle plate, not a standard duplex plate.
9) Is this receptacle durable enough for a commercial corridor or rental turnover work?
It is construction spec-grade. The strap is corrosion-resistant plated and tabbed steel locked into both the face and the back body so it resists pulling away, and the power contacts are .032 inch brass triple-wipe for plug retention over repeated use. It holds a maximum 30 C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rating.
10) What is the difference between this spec-grade receptacle and an industrial grade one?
Spec-grade, as here, covers general residential and commercial wiring with tamper-resistant shutters and brass triple-wipe contacts. Industrial grade devices are built for harsher duty: the Leviton industrial grade single receptacle is impact-resistant and chemical-resistant, and the Eaton heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single takes #14-10 AWG conductors. Pick industrial where plugs are cycled hard or the room sees chemicals and impact.
11) Can I install this receptacle in an unheated garage or outdoor-rated enclosure?
Operating range runs to +60 C maximum and -40 C minimum without impact, so cold storage, garages and unconditioned spaces are within the device's temperature range. It is not a weather-resistant or wet-location device by any stated rating, so it still needs an enclosure suited to the location.
12) What color and finish is the TR5251W, and will it match other white devices on the job?
White with a matte texture. If the rest of the openings are gloss white, expect a slight sheen difference; matte white is the common spec-grade finish and reads neutral alongside most commercial plates.
13) Is the TR5251W the right part number to specify, and where is it made?
Order by Pass & Seymour part number TR5251-W for the white 15A 125V tamper-resistant single receptacle. Country of origin is Mexico.
