Eaton Specification Sheet - 817-2W-BU
Feature: The 15A, 125V rating pairs with a standard 5-15R single receptacle for familiar, universal power delivery in modern commercial spaces. Business Impact: This alignment reduces sourcing complexity and minimizes compatibility issues across building systems, lowering project risk and accelerating commissioning. Application: Ideal for offices, retail counters, healthcare reception areas, and light-industrial spaces where reliable outlets support uninterrupted operations. Paragraph 2: Feature: Side wire wiring method supporting #14-10 AWG with a 3-wire configuration delivers straightforward, secure terminations. Business Impact: It streamlines field wiring, improves termination consistency, and supports faster, code-compliant installations with fewer callbacks. Application: Suitable for new construction and retrofit projects in commercial environments, including wall plates and multi-outlet strips. Paragraph 3: Feature: Auto-grounding and brass contact design provide a low-resistance ground path and durable electrical contact under frequent use. Business Impact: Improves safety and electrical continuity while reducing maintenance needs and likelihood of ground-related faults. Application: High-traffic areas like lobbies, break rooms, and service zones where quick, safe power access is critical throughout the day. Paragraph 4: Feature: Nylon face with PVC body delivers rugged durability and resistance to impact, moisture, and chemical exposure in demanding environments. Business Impact: Reduces replacement cycles and warranty claims, supporting longer service life in commercial installations. Application: Harsh or busy environments such as warehouses, manufacturing floors, and repair stations where tough components matter. Paragraph 5: Feature: Flush mounting and bulk packaging align with standard construction practices and procurement workflows. Business Impact: Maintains clean aesthetics, minimizes on-site waste, and lowers total project cost through efficient ordering of standardized parts. Application: Commercial fit-outs, facilities upgrades, and large-scale renovations requiring consistent product parity and predictable lead times.

FAQs
Use the side wiring method with #14-10 AWG conductors in a 3-wire configuration (hot, neutral, ground). Pair this with standard US wall boxes for flush mounting and NEMA 5-15R receptacle spacing. This approach simplifies field terminations and ensures code-compliant, reliable connections in commercial spaces.
Brass contacts provide low resistance and durable, repeatable connections, while auto-grounding creates a direct ground path without extra wiring steps. This combination reduces contact wear, minimizes ground faults, and speeds up installation, making it well-suited for high-traffic commercial environments where reliability matters.
Yes. With a 15A, 125V rating and a NEMA 5-15R single receptacle configuration, it supports common office and retail loads. The flush-mount design, durable Nylon/PVC construction, and bulk packaging align with project timelines and procurement needs typical of commercial fit-outs.
The unit is cULus Listed, NOM certified, and references Federal Specification 6233 01. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance across North American facilities, simplify inspections, and support use in code-driven projects without additional part substitutions.
Bulk packaging reduces procurement time and standardizes parts across multiple outlets, while the durable nylon/pvc construction lowers maintenance and replacement cycles. The combination of easy side wiring, auto-grounding, and a robust build translates to faster field installs and lower lifecycle costs for large-scale commercial deployments.
