Red Toggle Switch for 15 A Circuits
The Hubbell HBL1201R is a single-pole toggle switch rated at 15 A and 120/277 V AC for residential or light-commercial lighting circuits. It accepts 14 to 10 AWG copper wire on back and side screw terminals. The red finish provides quick visual identification in multi-switch installations. Shatter- and impact-resistant construction meets UL listing requirements.
Replaces Worn Single-Pole Switches
This unit replaces a failed or outdated single-pole switch on a 15 A branch circuit where a maintained toggle action is required. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing device shows discoloration, loose toggles or cracked housing. It is not suited for three-way or four-way switching, dimming loads, or circuits exceeding 15 A or 277 V AC.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous 15 A loading the switch maintains stable contact resistance through its screw-terminal connections. The thermoplastic body resists heat deformation at the rated 1/2 hp motor load. Impact-resistant housing withstands repeated daily actuation without cracking. UL listing confirms compliance with applicable safety standards for sustained operation.

Questions about this item
What wall-box depth and wire gauges does the HBL1201R require?
The switch fits a standard single-gang box and accepts 14 AWG to 10 AWG copper conductors on its back and side screw terminals.
Which wiring step is most often missed when installing this 15 A toggle?
Connect the hot conductor to the brass screw and the load to the other brass screw; the green grounding screw must also be tied to the circuit ground.
When should the HBL1201R be replaced?
Replace the switch if the toggle becomes loose, the screw terminals no longer grip 14–10 AWG wire firmly, or the red thermoplastic body shows cracks.
