Cooper Wiring Devices AH1222W Toggle Wall Switch 20A

Product Description

The COOPER WIRING DEVICES AH1222W is a two-pole, industrial-grade toggle wall switch rated for 20 amps across a voltage range of 120 to 277 VAC. Designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments, this switch handles fluorescent lighting loads and operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -4 to 140 degrees F. At 0.4 pounds and a compact footprint, it fits standard single-gang boxes and installs cleanly into new construction or retrofit applications. Licensed electricians working on commercial lighting circuits will find this switch meets the performance requirements of heavy-use installations.

This switch is suited for fluorescent lighting control in commercial, institutional, and light industrial settings where a durable, code-compliant two-pole switching solution is required. Its 120 to 277 VAC rating makes it compatible with both standard 120-volt branch circuits and 277-volt commercial lighting circuits commonly found in office buildings, warehouses, schools, and retail facilities. The industrial-grade construction supports high-cycle applications where switches see frequent daily use.

Key Features

• Two-pole switching handles full-voltage disconnect on both legs of the circuit
• 20-amp, 120 to 277 VAC rating supports standard and commercial-voltage fluorescent lighting loads
• Industrial-grade construction rated for high-cycle, demanding environments
• Wide operating temperature range: -4 to 140 degrees F
• White finish for standard commercial wall plate compatibility
• Meets ANSI C-73, UL 20 File E18704, and UL 94 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial-grade replacement or new-installation toggle wall switch for two-pole, 20-amp commercial lighting circuits operating at 120 to 277 VAC, including fluorescent lighting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any wiring. As a two-pole device, both legs of the circuit are switched, so confirm proper conductor termination on both poles. Secure the switch in a listed electrical box rated for the intended application.
