Double-pole wall switch

The Hubbell HBL1222L is a double-pole wall switch rated at 20 A and 120/277 V AC for commercial and residential lighting circuits. It provides maintained contact operation with a locking-style toggle that resists accidental actuation.

Thermals noise and power draw

The switch carries a 1 hp horsepower rating and handles resistive or motor loads within its 20 A capacity without active cooling or audible noise. Power dissipation remains negligible during normal switching duty.

Build quality and connectors

Impact-resistant construction and UL listing support durable service in standard wall boxes. Screw terminals accept solid or stranded copper from 14 AWG to 10 AWG using back or side wiring methods for flexible installation.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the HBL1222L switch using the back and side screw terminals?

Strip 14 to 10 AWG wire to the gauge marked on the device, loosen the appropriate terminal screws, insert wires fully under the clamping plates, then tighten securely; the step often missed is verifying no insulation is caught under the screw head.

What part of the HBL1222L will need replacement after long-term use?

The mechanical toggle mechanism and screw-terminal contacts are the wear points; replace the entire switch if the toggle feels loose, fails to maintain position, or shows discoloration from heat.

At what load does the 20 A rating of the HBL1222L become the limiting factor?

The 20 A / 1 hp rating is the first limit; sustained current above 20 A on either 120 V or 277 V circuits will cause the switch to exceed its listed capacity.
