Hubbell 20 A 120/277 V toggle switch
The Hubbell HBL1222W is a white, double-pole toggle switch rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC. It is built for maintained contact operation in commercial and residential lighting circuits. The body is shatter and crack resistant with impact resistance. It accepts back and side wiring using screw terminals.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This switch suits electricians and installers who need a UL Listed, 20 A double-pole toggle for 120/277 V lighting loads up to 1 hp. It is not for circuits requiring a three-pole or four-pole configuration. It is not for applications that need a locking-style mechanism. It is not for circuits rated above 20 A or voltages outside the 120/277 V AC range.
Wiring and installation checks
Verify the circuit is rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC and protected by a suitable breaker. Confirm the box has space for a single-gang device with back and side wiring access. Ensure conductors are solid or stranded copper between 14 AWG and 10 AWG. Check that screw-terminal connections are permitted by local code for this circuit.

Questions about this item
What wiring method and wire gauge range does the HBL1222W require for installation?
The switch accepts back or side wiring with screw terminals and supports conductors from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG.
Can the 20 A 120/277 V toggle replace an existing single-pole switch on a 120 V lighting circuit?
Yes, it functions as a double-pole maintained toggle rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC, so it will control a 120 V load when both poles are wired appropriately.
How can I verify the HBL1222W is operating correctly after wiring it?
The toggle should move firmly between maintained on and off positions, the connected load should switch cleanly without flicker, and the UL Listed marking confirms compliance with safety standards.
