Leviton Telcom 1453-CP Toggle Switch 3-way 15A 120V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 1453-CP is a 3-way toggle switch rated for 15 amps at 120 volts AC. It is designed for residential and light commercial electrical branch circuit applications where a single light or load must be controlled from two separate locations. Electricians install this switch as part of a standard 3-way switching configuration, typically at the top and bottom of a staircase, at either end of a hallway, or at the two primary entry points of a room. The 1453-CP ships as a single unit and is suited for retrofit or new construction wiring work.

This switch is appropriate for residential branch circuit wiring in standard single-gang wall boxes. It handles typical lighting and general-purpose load circuits operating at 120V AC up to 15 amps. It is well-suited for use by licensed electricians performing panel or fixture replacement work, rough-in wiring, or service calls requiring a 3-way switch swap-out.

Key Features

• 3-way switching configuration allows control from two locations
• 15-amp rating supports standard residential lighting and general-purpose circuits
• 120V AC rating matches standard North American branch circuit voltage
• Toggle actuator style for straightforward manual operation
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or small-quantity installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard single-gang 3-way toggle switch applications in residential and light commercial 120V AC branch 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 handling wiring. In a 3-way configuration, verify traveler wire routing between both switch locations before making final terminations. Do not exceed the rated 15-amp, 120V AC load capacity of the switch.
