Leviton 5623-2W 20A 3-way Rocker Switch Commercial Grade

Product Description

The LEVITON 5623-2W is a 20-amp, 3-way AC quiet rocker switch built to Commercial Spec Grade standards. It operates at 120/277 volts and features Decora Plus rocker styling, making it compatible with standard Decora wallplate configurations. The self-grounding design speeds up installation and reduces the risk of improper grounding. Back-and-side wired terminations give electricians flexibility during rough-in and finish work. This switch is suited for commercial and light industrial environments where a reliable, code-compliant 3-way switching solution is required.

The 5623-2W is designed for 3-way switching applications in commercial buildings, office spaces, schools, hospitals, and multi-family residential projects. Its 120/277-volt rating makes it appropriate for both standard residential branch circuits and higher-voltage commercial lighting circuits commonly found in fluorescent and LED fixture installations. Licensed electricians typically specify this switch where Commercial Spec Grade durability and quiet operation are required by the project or owner.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation 3-way switch for commercial and residential wiring systems requiring a 20-amp, 120/277-volt Decora Plus rocker format device.

Installation Notes

Installation must 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 voltage is absent with a calibrated meter before handling any wiring. The self-grounding mounting strap requires solid contact with a grounded metal box; if a non-metallic box is used, a separate equipment ground conductor must be landed on the ground terminal. Confirm the circuit is rated for 20 amps before installing this device.
