Hubbell HBL1222GY double-pole toggle switch
The Hubbell HBL1222GY is a gray double-pole toggle switch rated at 20 A and 120/277 V AC. It is built for commercial and residential lighting circuits that require both poles to be switched simultaneously. The shatter-resistant and impact-resistant body meets UL listing requirements for safety compliance. Electricians and facility managers specify this device where reliable maintained-contact switching is needed.
Back- and side-wire termination accepts 14 to 10
The switch terminates wires through back-wire and side-wire entries that accept solid or stranded conductors from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG. Mounting holes are spaced 3.3 in centre-to-centre for standard wall-box installation. No illuminated handle, pilot light or nightlight is fitted, keeping the device simple for standard toggle operation. The maintained switch function holds position without spring return.
20 A capacity covers typical branch-circuit
At 20 A the switch handles most general-purpose lighting and small motor loads on 120 V or 277 V circuits. It is not rated for horsepower duty, so direct motor starting or high-inrush equipment falls outside its design envelope. Builders needing illuminated handles, pilot indication or locking actuators must select a different model. The single-gang form factor limits the installation to one switching point per box.

Questions about this item
How many amps can the HBL1222GY handle continuously before the 20 A rating becomes the limiting factor?
The switch is rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC, so that current level is the design limit for sustained operation.
Does the gray toggle switch produce audible noise or noticeable heat when left on all day?
As a passive mechanical toggle with no illuminated or pilot-light components, it operates silently and generates negligible heat under normal 20 A loads.
What wire gauges must the installer already have on hand to terminate the back and side terminals?
The terminals accept solid or stranded copper from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG, so those wire sizes need to be available for the installation.
