Product Identity
The Hubbell HBL1222R is a red two-pole toggle switch rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC. It is intended for electricians and maintenance crews who need a single maintained-contact device for lighting or motor loads up to 1 hp.
Installation Notes
The switch accepts back-wiring or side-wiring with screw terminals for conductors from 14 AWG to 10 AWG. Common issues include over-tightening terminals on solid wire and failing to verify the circuit is de-energised before mounting.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the HBL1222R is operating correctly after installation?
After wiring the switch with 14 to 10 AWG conductors to the screw terminals, the red toggle should move firmly between maintained positions and the connected load must turn on and off cleanly at 120 or 277 volts AC without arcing or excess heat.
What components are included with the HBL1222R and what must be purchased separately?
The box contains the single red 20-amp double-pole toggle switch with screw terminals rated for back and side wiring; mounting screws, a wall plate and wire connectors are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which version of the HBL1222R should I select for a 20-amp 120/277-volt circuit?
Choose the red 20-amp 120/277-volt AC double-pole toggle switch with screw terminals that accept 14 to 10 AWG wire, as this single model matches those exact ratings.
