Eaton AH1222V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton Arrow Hart AH1222V switch break both hot legs of a 240V circuit?
Yes. The AH1222V is a two-pole toggle switch, so it opens and closes two ungrounded conductors at the same time from one handle, which is what you need for a 240V single-phase load or for switching two separate hot legs together. It is rated 120/277V and 20A.
2) Will the AH1222V work on a 277V lighting circuit in a commercial building?
Yes, it is rated 120/277V at 20 amps, so it is suitable for 277V fluorescent or LED lighting branch circuits as well as standard 120V. It is cULus Listed.
3) What wire gauge can I land on this Arrow Hart industrial toggle switch?
The terminals accept #14 through #10 AWG, so a 20A circuit run in #12 is well within range, and #10 works if the branch circuit was upsized for voltage drop. Connections are screw terminals with brass terminal material.
4) Will a two-pole AH1222V fit in a standard single-gang box with a regular wall plate?
It is a flush-mount device, 4.19 in tall by 1.005 in wide by 1.3 in deep, which is standard single-gang strap geometry, so it mounts in a single-gang box and takes an ordinary toggle-style wall plate. The 1.3 in depth is the number to watch in a shallow box, since a two-pole device carries four conductors plus a ground.
5) Can I use a two-pole switch like the AH1222V instead of a three-way switch?
No. A two-pole switch such as the AH1222V switches two separate hot conductors on and off together from one location. A three-way switch controls one load from two locations. They are not interchangeable, and wiring a two-pole device into three-way travelers will not give you the control you want.
6) Can I side-wire or back-wire the AH1222V, or is it screw terminals only?
Both. The AH1222V is a back and side wiring switch with screw terminals, so you can bring conductors in under the side screws or push them straight in behind the clamping plate at the back. Back wiring helps when you are stacking a two-pole device in a crowded box.
7) Is this an industrial grade or residential grade switch?
Industrial grade. The AH1222V is built for industrial application with a brass terminal assembly and a polycarbonate body, which is the construction you want for high-cycle commercial and plant use rather than a residential-spec switch.
8) Is the Eaton AH1222V UL listed for commercial and institutional jobs?
It carries a cULus Listing, so it is recognized for both US and Canadian installations, and it is NAFTA compliant for procurement paperwork.
9) Is the AH1222V ivory or white, and will it match the other devices on my floor?
Ivory. If the receptacles and switches already installed on the floor are white or light almond, the AH1222V will read noticeably different, so match on ivory before standardizing a building on it.
10) What is the exact part number to order this ivory 20A two-pole Arrow Hart switch?
Order Eaton Arrow Hart AH1222V. That number covers the 20A, 120/277V, two-pole, ivory, back-and-side wired industrial toggle switch.
