Product Identity
The Hubbell HBL1557GY is a gray toggle switch rated for 20 amps at 120/277 volts AC. It suits commercial and industrial lighting circuits that require a single-pole, double-throw momentary action. The device accepts 14 to 10 AWG conductors via back and side screw terminals. UL listing confirms compliance with applicable safety standards.
Sustained Operation
Shatter and crack resistant construction withstands repeated actuation in high-traffic areas. The 1 hp horsepower rating supports motor loads such as fans without contact degradation over time. Impact resistant materials protect the mechanism from physical abuse in demanding environments. Screw terminal connections maintain secure conductivity through thermal cycling.
Installation Checklist
Verify the circuit voltage matches the 120/277 V AC rating before wiring. Confirm the electrical box depth accommodates the switch body and wiring method. Ensure conductors fall within the 14 to 10 AWG range for proper terminal grip. Check local code for any additional requirements on momentary switches in the intended application.
