Hubbell HBL1283 3-Way Switch

The Hubbell HBL1283 is a brown 3-way wall switch rated for 20 amps at 120/277 volts AC. It uses a maintained push-button action and screw terminals for side wiring. The device is UL listed and built with impact-resistant construction for commercial or residential lighting control.

Wiring and Circuit Checks

Verify the circuit supplies 120 or 277 volts AC and is protected by a 20-amp breaker. Confirm the box accepts side-wired devices and that conductors fall between 14 AWG and 10 AWG. The switch requires a 3-way wiring layout with a matching traveller pair and a common feed.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The switch carries its full 20-amp rating continuously without derating when installed per code. Large brass binding-head screws with deep slots maintain clamping force over repeated thermal cycles. A moulded strip gauge helps keep insulation stripping consistent for long-term connection integrity.

Questions about this item

Does the HBL1283 switch include mounting screws and a cover plate or must they be purchased separately?

The switch is supplied as a single unit with side screw terminals for 14 to 10 AWG wire; mounting screws and a wall plate are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 120 V or 277 V version of the HBL1283 for my circuit?

This single model is rated for both 120 V and 277 V AC circuits, so no separate version selection is required.

What does the 20 A rating mean when the switch controls a motor load?

The switch carries a 1 hp motor rating, allowing it to handle motor loads up to that horsepower at the rated voltage.
