Leviton Mfg Co 217-02653-02I 3-way Toggle Switch 15A 120V

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 217-02653-02I is a 3-way toggle switch rated at 15 amps and 120 volts AC, designed for direct connection to aluminum wiring as well as copper and copper-clad conductors. Silver alloy contacts extend switch service life compared to standard brass contacts. Terminal screws accept up to No. 10 gauge conductors. The switch is grounded and finished in ivory. Licensed electricians install this switch as part of residential and light commercial wiring systems, particularly in locations where two switches must control a single fixture or circuit.

This switch is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where 3-way switching is required. Its aluminum-wire compatibility makes it a direct fit in older residential construction where aluminum branch-circuit wiring is present, eliminating the need for pigtailing or add-on connectors. The ivory finish matches standard residential cover plates. Break-off plastic mounting ears allow flush installation in a variety of wallbox configurations.
