Leviton R02-W5601-00W 15A Weather Resistant Single Pole Switch

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R02-W5601-00W is a weather-resistant single-pole switch rated at 15 amps, designed for wet and damp outdoor locations without requiring a separate outdoor cover. Magnetic actuation technology keeps the subplate and switch assembly impervious to water intrusion, eliminating a common failure point in exterior electrical installations. The body is constructed from UV-stabilized thermoplastic to resist sun degradation over time. This switch ships in a package of three units, making it practical for multi-outlet or multi-circuit exterior projects.

This switch is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor wiring applications where wet or damp location ratings are required by code. Typical installations include exterior walls, covered patios, pool equipment areas, garages, and other locations subject to moisture exposure. Because no separate weatherproof cover is required, the all-in-one design simplifies rough-in and trim-out for electricians working on exterior circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Verify the wall box and wiring gauge are compatible with a 15-amp single-pole switch before install. Follow manufacturer wiring instructions included with the unit for proper terminal connections.
