Leviton Telcom M1223-I Lev-lok 3-way Switch 20A 120V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M1223-I is a 3-way Lev-Lok specification-grade switch rated for 20 amps at 120 volts, finished in ivory. The Lev-Lok locking system secures the plug to the device, preventing accidental disconnection in demanding commercial and industrial environments. Rated at 20A, this switch handles higher-ampacity circuits than standard 15A devices, making it appropriate for branch circuits serving motors, HVAC equipment, lighting loads, or other continuous-duty applications. Licensed electricians and facilities maintenance personnel are the typical installers.

This switch is designed for use in commercial, industrial, and institutional wiring applications where a locking-style device is required for safety or code compliance. It fits standard single-gang wallboxes and is wired in 3-way configurations to control a single load from two separate locations, a common requirement in stairwells, corridors, and large rooms. The ivory finish blends with standard ivory wallplates.

Key Features

• Lev-Lok locking connector design prevents accidental plug disconnection
• 20A 120V rating supports higher-ampacity branch circuits
• 3-way switching allows control of one load from two locations
• Ivory finish compatible with standard ivory wallplates
• Specification-grade construction for commercial and institutional use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style specification-grade replacement or new-installation 3-way switch for standard single-gang wallboxes in 20A 120V branch circuit applications.

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 voltage tester before wiring. A 3-way switch installation requires a traveler wire pair between the two switch locations; verify wire gauge is rated for the 20A circuit before connecting. Do not use this device on circuits exceeding its rated voltage or ampacity.
