Single-pole double-throw wall switch

The Hubbell HBL1556I is a single-pole double-throw wall switch rated for 15 A at 120/277 V AC. It accepts back or side wiring with conductors from 14 AWG to 10 AWG. The ivory-coloured thermoplastic body is shatter, crack and impact resistant and carries a UL listing. Mounting holes are spaced 3.3 in centre-to-centre.

Electricians wiring three-way lighting circuits

This switch suits electricians and maintenance teams installing or replacing three-way lighting controls in commercial or residential buildings. It is not illuminated and has no pilot light, so it will not meet specs that require visual status indication. Buyers needing a locking mechanism, a maintained-contact function or a horsepower-rated motor switch should look elsewhere.

No bundled accessories or software

The product ships as the switch unit only; no connectors, wire nuts, mounting screws or configuration software are included. Installers must supply their own wiring materials and standard hand tools. The absence of bundled hardware means the switch can be integrated directly into existing rough-in boxes without adapting to proprietary parts.

Questions about this item

What wire gauges does the HBL1556I accept for back and side wiring?

Can this 15 A 120/277 V AC switch control a load on an existing 15 A branch circuit?

Yes, its 15 A rating matches a standard 15 A branch circuit at either 120 V or 277 V AC.

How do I verify the HBL1556I is operating correctly after installation?

Toggle the actuator; the connected load should switch on in one position and off in the other with positive mechanical click.
