Bryant 4803 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Bryant 4801 toggle switch be used on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. The Bryant 4801 single-pole toggle switch is rated 15A at 277V AC, which is the common commercial lighting circuit voltage taken from a 480/277V three-phase system. It is an AC-only device, so it is meant for standard AC branch circuits and lighting loads, not DC switching.
2) I need to control one light fixture from two switch locations. Is the 4801 the right Bryant switch?
No. The 4801 is single-pole, meaning one switching location only. For two locations you need a pair of 3-way switches: Bryant 4803 in 15A or 4903 in 20A. If you need control from three or more locations, add a 4-way switch (Bryant 4804) between the two 3-ways.
3) What is the difference between the Bryant 4801 and the Bryant 9901?
Both are single-pole toggle switches, but the 4801 is rated 15A at 277V while the 9901 is rated 20A at 120/277V. Use the 9901 where the spec or the drawing calls for a 20A switch, or where the same device has to work on both 120V and 277V circuits in the building. On a 15A lighting branch circuit the 4801 is sized correctly.
4) What other brands can I substitute for a Bryant 4801 single-pole spec grade switch?
For a single-pole spec grade toggle, the closest cross-brand options are the Leviton 1221 SPST at 20A 120/277V, the Leviton 1221-2KL 1-pole at 20A 120/277V, and the Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I commercial 20A specification grade switch in ivory. All three are 20A devices rather than 15A, and the Leviton and P&S options listed are not brown, so check both the amp rating on the drawing and your device color standard before swapping.
5) Can I put a Bryant 4801 on a 20A lighting branch circuit?
Not as the circuit switch. The 4801 is a 15A device, and a switch controlling a 20A circuit should be rated 20A. Use the Bryant 9901 single-pole 20A 120/277V instead. Keep the 4801 for 15A circuits.
6) Can I use a Leviton 1201PLC in place of a Bryant 4801?
Not as a like-for-like swap. The Leviton 1201PLC is an industrial grade pilot light toggle switch, 1-pole, 120V - the illuminated handle needs the 120V it is rated for and adds a lit indicator the Bryant 4801 does not have. The 4801 is a plain single-pole AC toggle rated 15A at 277V for straightforward on/off control. Use the 1201PLC only where a 120V circuit and a pilot indication are both wanted.
7) What is an equivalent to the Bryant 4801 single-pole toggle switch from another brand?
The Bryant 4801 is a single-pole toggle switch rated 15A at 277V in brown. For a single-pole spec-grade equivalent from another manufacturer, the Leviton 1221 is an SPST toggle switch rated 20A at 120/277V in extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade, and the Leviton 1221-2KL is a spec-grade 1-pole toggle rated 20A at 120/277V. Both carry the 277V capability the 4801 has, at the higher 20A rating. Bryant's own 9901 is the single-pole 20A 120/277V device if you want to stay with Bryant at 20A.
8) I need a three-way switch on a 277V lighting circuit - what are my options besides the Bryant 4803?
Bryant covers three-way switching with the 4803 at 15A and the 4903 at 20A. From other manufacturers, the Eaton Arrow Hart industrial grade three-way toggle switch is rated 20A at 120/277V, which suits 277V commercial lighting legs, and the Pass and Seymour CS20AC3I is a commercial 20A specification grade toggle in ivory. Choose based on the amperage the circuit calls for and the device color your plates already use - the Bryant 4801 family is brown.
9) I need to break both hot legs on a 240V load. Which Bryant toggle switch do I use?
A double-pole switch, not the single-pole 4801. Bryant offers the 4802 in 15A and the 4902 in 20A double-pole. A double-pole device opens both ungrounded conductors at once, which is what you want on a two-hot load such as a 240V heater or a two-leg motor disconnect application.
10) Will the brown Bryant 4801 match the other switches already in my building?
The 4801 is supplied in brown, which is the older commercial and residential standard color alongside ivory. If your existing devices and wall plates are brown, it will blend. If your facility standard is white or ivory, this particular device will not match, and brown plates are what you would want to pair with it.
11) Is there a heavier-duty switch than the Bryant 4801 for a high-traffic industrial area?
The Bryant 4801 is built to specification grade for repeated commercial actuation. If the opening calls for a step beyond that, the Leviton 1201-2I is an extra heavy-duty industrial and specification grade toggle switch in ivory, the Leviton 1221 is extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade at 20A 120/277V, and the Pass and Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle in white. The trade-off is device color: those three come in ivory and white rather than the 4801's brown.
12) What is a simpler, lighter-duty alternative to the Bryant 4801 for a residential or light-commercial job?
Where the spec does not require a specification-grade device, the Pass and Seymour 660 Trademaster grounding toggle switch is the lighter general-purpose line. The Bryant 4801 is a specification-grade device rated 277V, which is what you want on commercial 277V lighting branch circuits; a Trademaster-class switch is aimed at standard residential and light-commercial 120V work. Confirm the circuit voltage before substituting down.
13) For a four-way switching leg with three control points, is there a substitute for the Bryant 4804?
Bryant's four-way 15A device is the 4804, paired with three-way switches at the ends of the run. Among the other-brand toggles, the closest multi-way device is the Eaton Arrow Hart industrial grade three-way toggle rated 20A at 120/277V - a three-way, not a four-way, so it serves the two end positions of the run rather than the middle one. Keep a four-way device in the intermediate location.
