Leviton 1451-2WS Quiet Single Pole Switch White

Product Description

The LEVITON 1451-2WS is a quiet single pole switch designed for residential and light commercial electrical wiring applications. It supports both side wiring via screw terminals and Quickwire push-in wiring, giving electricians flexible installation options on the rough-in. The toggle and frame are molded from impact-resistant thermoplastic for long-term durability in standard wall box installations. Large-head triple drive combination screws accommodate flathead, Phillips, and square drive bits, reducing time at each device box. This switch is installed by licensed electricians and qualified electrical trades.

The 1451-2WS is suited for single pole switching applications in residential branch circuits, including lighting and general-purpose loads. Its white finish coordinates with standard decorator and traditional wallplates. The Quickwire push-in termination option is particularly useful during high-volume rough-in work where speed at each outlet or switch box matters. Side wiring terminals remain available for installations requiring screw-secured conductors per local code or inspector preference.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off branch circuit power at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before terminating conductors. When using Quickwire push-in terminals, confirm conductor gauge compatibility before seating wires. Do not exceed the device voltage and amperage ratings marked on the switch body.
