Leviton Mfg Co S00-05224-02S Brown Duplex Switch 15A

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO S00-05224-02S is a heavy-duty, specification-grade duplex switch combining two single-pole switches in one device body. Rated at 15 amps and compatible with both 120-volt and 277-volt AC circuits, it is built for demanding commercial and industrial wiring applications. The device accepts conductors up to No. 10 AWG and features break-off fins that allow conversion to a two-circuit configuration. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers of this device.

This duplex switch is suited for commercial lighting control, multi-circuit panel rooms, and other applications where two independent switching functions are needed in a single gang space. The two switches can be wired independently of each other or tied to a common feed, providing flexibility for branch-circuit design. The 277-volt rating makes it appropriate for fluorescent and LED lighting circuits common in commercial occupancies. Motor load ratings of 1/2 HP at 120 volts and 2 HP at 240 volts extend its use to small motor applications.

Key Features

• Two single-pole switches in one specification-grade device body
• Rated 15A at 120/277V AC for commercial lighting and branch circuits
• Accepts up to No. 10 AWG conductors
• Break-off fins enable two-circuit conversion without additional hardware
• Switches operate independently or on a common feed for wiring flexibility
• UL listed for safety compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a specification-grade duplex switch replacement for standard single-gang wiring devices in commercial and residential electrical systems rated at 120V or 277V AC.

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 absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Ensure conductor sizing is consistent with the 15-amp circuit rating and that the device is properly secured in a listed electrical box. Break-off fins should be removed cleanly before completing the wiring if two-circuit operation is intended.
