Cooper Wiring Devices AH1223W Toggle Three Way Switch 20A

Product Description

The COOPER WIRING DEVICES AH1223W is an industrial-grade, three-way toggle switch rated for 20 amps and 120 to 277 volts AC. It is built for commercial and industrial electrical installations where a single light source or load must be controlled from two separate locations. The switch handles fluorescent lighting circuits and carries a temperature rating of -4 to 140 degrees F, making it suitable for unconditioned spaces such as warehouses, mechanical rooms, and industrial facilities. Licensed electricians are the primary installers of this device in branch-circuit wiring applications.

The AH1223W is designed for use in fluorescent lighting circuits in commercial, institutional, and industrial environments. Its wide voltage range, 120 to 277 volts AC, covers the standard single-phase voltages found in both US residential-grade commercial panels and higher-voltage industrial branch circuits. It installs in standard single-gang or multi-gang switch boxes and is finished in white to match common device plate systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial-grade replacement or new-installation toggle switch for commercial and industrial fluorescent lighting branch circuits operating at 120 to 277 volts AC.

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 absence of voltage with a meter before wiring the device. Three-way switching requires correct identification of the common terminal versus the traveler terminals — confirm wiring against the terminal markings on the switch body. Secure the device in a listed switch box rated for the conductor fill required by the installation.
