Leviton Telcom 5622-2T Decora 2-pole Switch 20 Amp

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom 5622-2T is a Decora-style 2-pole switch rated at 20 amps, designed for installation in commercial and residential electrical systems where simultaneous interruption of two circuit legs is required. The back and side wiring configuration gives electricians flexibility during rough-in and finish work, accommodating both quick-connect and screw-terminal terminations. This switch is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC guidelines.

The 5622-2T fits standard Decora wall plate openings and is suited for branch circuit switching applications that require a 2-pole configuration. Typical install scenarios include 240-volt loads such as HVAC equipment disconnects, water heaters, and other double-pole switching needs in light commercial or residential settings. The Decora profile integrates cleanly with standard decorator-style wallplates.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off power at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Both back-wired and side-screw terminals are available, but do not use both termination methods on the same conductor. Confirm wire gauge is appropriate for the 20-amp rating before completing the installation.
