Eaton 1242-7B-BOX 4-way 15 Amp 120 277V Switch

Product Description

The EATON 1242-7B-BOX is a 4-way toggle switch rated for 15 amps at 120 to 277 volts, designed for use in multi-location lighting control circuits. This switch functions as the middle switch in a 3-switch or multi-switch arrangement, allowing a single lighting load to be controlled from three or more points. It is a standard-grade, single-gang device intended for installation in commercial and residential electrical systems by licensed electricians. The 120/277-volt dual voltage rating makes it suitable for both standard residential branch circuits and commercial lighting circuits commonly found in office, retail, and institutional buildings.

This 4-way switch is well suited for corridor lighting, stairwells, large open floor plans, and any application where more than two switch locations are required for a single lighting circuit. It installs in a standard single-gang wall box alongside compatible 3-way switches at each end of the switching circuit. The 15-amp rating covers most general-purpose lighting loads encountered in commercial and light industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify the absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. This device must be wired as the intermediate switch between two 3-way switches in a multi-location circuit. Do not exceed the 15-amp or 277-volt ratings when selecting branch circuit protection.
