Hubbell 20A 3-Way Toggle Switch
This brown toggle switch handles 20 amps at 120/277V AC for residential or light-commercial lighting circuits. It is built for 3-way wiring so a single load can be controlled from two locations. The shatter-resistant body accepts 14 to 10 AWG conductors via back or side terminals. UL listing confirms compliance with standard safety requirements.
Replaces worn single-pole or 3-way toggles
Swap this in when an existing switch feels loose, chatters or shows discolouration from heat. The 1 hp motor rating supports small fan or pump loads on the same circuit. Back and side wiring options simplify retrofit work without re-pulling cable. The jump is worth it when the old device no longer makes firm contact or fails to meet current code.
Sustained load performance
The switch maintains its 20 A rating continuously without derating, so lighting banks or motor loads stay powered through long duty cycles. Impact-resistant housing resists damage from tools or accidental strikes during maintenance. Terminals grip 10 AWG solid wire securely, reducing voltage drop on extended runs. Mounting holes on 3.3 in centres fit standard wall boxes.

Questions about this item
What wall-box depth and screw spacing does the HBL1223 need?
It mounts in a standard US wall box with 3.3 in centre-to-centre mounting holes and accepts 14 to 10 AWG wire on back or side terminals.
How do I wire the 3-way toggle correctly?
Connect the line or load to the black common screw and the two travellers to the brass screws; the step most often missed is identifying the common terminal before wiring.
When should the switch be replaced?
Replace it if the toggle feels loose, the 20 A / 120/277 V AC rating is exceeded, or the shatter-resistant body shows cracks after impact.
