Leviton Telcom 1222-2T 20A 120/277V Industrial Toggle Switch

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 1222-2T is a 20-amp, 120/277-volt, 2-pole industrial toggle switch designed for heavy-duty switching applications in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Built to handle the higher current and voltage demands found in industrial environments, this switch is rated for both 120-volt and 277-volt single-phase circuits. The 2-pole configuration allows simultaneous switching of two conductors, making it suitable for controlling loads that require both legs of the circuit to be interrupted. Licensed electricians install this device during new construction or retrofit projects where code-compliant, industrial-grade switching is required.

This toggle switch is suited for use in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, and similar environments where standard residential-grade devices are not adequate. Typical applications include lighting circuits, motor control panels, and branch circuit switching on 120-volt or 277-volt systems. The industrial rating makes it appropriate for locations subject to heavy use or demanding operational cycles.

Key Features

• 20-amp current rating for high-demand industrial circuits
• Dual voltage rating: 120 volts and 277 volts
• 2-pole design interrupts both conductors simultaneously
• Industrial-grade construction for heavy-duty, high-cycle use
• Toggle actuator for straightforward manual operation
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an industrial-grade toggle switch for commercial and industrial branch circuits rated at 120 or 277 volts where a 20-amp, 2-pole switching device is specified.

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 any wiring work. Ensure the electrical box and wiring are rated to match the 20-amp, 277-volt maximum ratings of this switch. Do not exceed the device voltage or amperage ratings when selecting circuits for this switch.
