Hubbell HBL1556 15A Toggle Switch
The Hubbell HBL1556 is a 15 amp single-pole double-throw toggle switch rated for 120/277V AC. It is designed for commercial and residential lighting circuits that require momentary contact operation. The brown finish suits standard wall plates and the shatter-resistant body meets UL safety standards.
Back and Side Wiring With Screw Terminals
The switch accepts 14 to 10 AWG conductors using back-wire push-in or side-wire screw terminals. Strip insulation to the gauge mark, tighten screws firmly, and verify the wire is captured under the clamp. A common error is inserting solid wire into the back entry without confirming the spring contact has engaged, which can leave the circuit open.
For Momentary Lighting Control Circuits
This switch suits installers who need a maintained three-position toggle with momentary action for lighting or fan control. It is not suited for circuits that require a maintained on-off-on sequence or for loads exceeding the 15 amp or 1/2 horsepower rating. Buyers needing a standard maintained toggle or a different voltage rating should select another device.
