Pass Seymour 9716 Porcelain Lampholder 250W 15A 125V

Product Description

The PASS SEYMOUR 9716 is a porcelain incandescent lampholder rated for 250 watts, 15 amps, and 125 volts. Built from porcelain for heat resistance and long-term durability in demanding environments, this 2-pole, 2-wire device features screw terminations for reliable conductor connections and an integrated pull chain for on-off switching without a wall control. It is designed for permanent fixture installations where a robust, heat-tolerant lampholder is required. Electricians specify porcelain lampholders in utility spaces, garages, basements, and industrial settings where plastic housings would degrade from heat or environmental exposure.

This lampholder suits residential and light commercial applications where incandescent or compatible lamp types are installed in open or semi-open fixture configurations. Typical install locations include utility rooms, storage areas, stairwells, crawlspaces, and outbuildings. The pull chain allows the end user to operate the lamp independently of a switch leg, making it a practical choice for single-circuit utility lighting. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 50 units per pack, making it suitable for contractors stocking multiple units for new construction or retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Shut off circuit power at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Conductors are terminated to the screw terminals — ensure connections are tight and conductors are properly stripped to avoid loose terminations. Verify the mounting surface and box configuration are suitable for the lampholder before securing the device.
