Hubbell HBL1222 20 A Toggle Switch
The Hubbell HBL1222 is a brown 2-pole toggle switch rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC. It suits residential and light-commercial circuits where a single maintained-contact switch controls a load up to 1 hp. The screw-terminal wiring accepts conductors from 14 AWG to 10 AWG, and the device is UL Listed for code-compliant installations.
Shatter-resistant body and dual wiring entry
The thermoplastic housing is shatter and crack resistant and impact resistant, helping it survive jobsite handling and daily operation. Both back-wire and side-wire entry points are provided, giving the installer flexibility to route conductors in tight boxes or through crowded conduit without changing devices.
Toggle action and mounting implications
The maintained toggle stays in the position set by the user, so the circuit remains on or off until manually changed. Standard toggle dimensions fit common wall plates and device boxes, allowing direct replacement of existing single-switch openings without enlarging cut-outs or sourcing special covers.
