Eaton TRIG8200RD 15A duplex receptacle red

Hospital-grade 15 A duplex receptacle

The Eaton TRIG8200RD is a 15-amp, 125-volt straight-blade duplex receptacle built to hospital-grade standards. Its isolated-ground construction suits healthcare facilities, laboratories and any installation where electrical noise must be kept off the equipment ground. Red colour coding identifies the circuit at a glance. Wiring accepts #14-10 AWG conductors via back and side terminals.

Thermals noise and power draw

The device is a passive wiring accessory with no active components, so it generates no audible noise and draws no power of its own. Brass contacts and screw terminals maintain low resistance under continuous 15 A loading, keeping temperature rise within the limits defined by the hospital-grade listing. No fan, heatsink or external power supply is involved.

Build quality and daily implications

An impact-resistant nylon face and glass-filled nylon base resist cracking from carts, cleaning equipment and repeated plug insertion. The flush-mount format fits standard wall boxes and matches common decorator plates. Red finish remains visible after years of chemical wipe-downs. Isolated-ground terminal requires a dedicated ground conductor, so the installer must pull an extra wire if the existing cable lacks one.
