Eaton AH1223RD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Eaton Arrow Hart AH1223 to control a light from two locations?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Arrow Hart AH1223 is a three-way switch, so a pair of them wired together controls one lighting load from two separate locations, such as either end of a corridor or both entries of a shop floor. Wire one as the line side and the other as the load side, with travelers running between them. A single switch on its own will not give you two-location control.
2) Will this Eaton toggle switch work on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. The Arrow Hart three-way toggle is rated 20A at 120/277V, so it handles 277V commercial fluorescent and LED lighting branch circuits as well as standard 120V loads. That dual rating is why it shows up in warehouse, school, and facility lighting work where 277V distribution is common.
3) What wire size can I land on the Eaton Arrow Hart AH1223 three-way switch?
It accepts #14 through #10 AWG conductors on screw terminals, and takes them either back-wired or side-wired. The #10 capability matters on long 20A runs where an electrician has upsized the conductor for voltage drop, since plenty of residential-grade devices stop at #12. Terminal contact is rated at 0.031 in, and the terminal enclosure is brass.
4) Is the Eaton Arrow Hart AH1223 UL listed for commercial and industrial jobs?
It is cULus Listed, which covers it for both US and Canadian installations, and it is NAFTA compliant. Eaton classes it as an industrial application device. If your spec calls out a listed wiring device for a facility or institutional project, the cULus mark is the one the inspector looks for.
5) How do I know if I need a three-way switch or a single-pole switch?
Count the control points. One switch controlling the load means single-pole. Two switches controlling the same load means a pair of three-ways, which is what the Arrow Hart AH1223 is. Three or more control points means two three-ways plus a four-way in between. If you only need one location, a single-pole 20A spec-grade device like the Leviton 1221 or the Pass and Seymour PS20AC3W covers it instead.
6) Can I replace one of my existing three-way switches with this Eaton switch without rewiring?
If you are swapping a three-way for a three-way, the existing conductors land the same way: common on the darker screw, two travelers on the pair, ground on the green. The AH1223 takes them back-wired or side-wired on screws, so either existing method works. Tag the common conductor before you pull the old device out, because once all three wires are loose there is nothing on the wire to tell you which was which.
7) What colors does the Eaton Arrow Hart 20A three-way toggle switch come in?
Two: gray, part number AH1223GY, and red, part number AH1223RD. The red is the one facilities buy for emergency or generator-backed lighting circuits so crews can tell at a glance which switches are on the life-safety branch. Both are the same 20A, 120/277V three-way device.
8) Will the Eaton AH1223 fit a standard wall box and a standard toggle wallplate?
Yes. It is a wall-mount device on a standard strap, measuring 4.19 in by 1.005 in by 1.3 in overall, so it drops into a normal single-gang box and takes a standard toggle-opening wallplate, the same one your single-pole switches use. Wallplates are not included with the switch.
9) How does the Eaton Arrow Hart AH1223 compare to Leviton and Pass and Seymour toggle switches?
The key difference is the switching function, not the brand. The Arrow Hart AH1223 is a three-way device for two-location control. The Leviton 1221, 1221-2KL and the Pass and Seymour CS20AC3I are single-pole switches, so they will not give you two-location control no matter how you wire them. If you want a device that shows whether the load is energized, the Leviton 1221-2L and 1201PLC are pilot light toggles. For lighter-duty 15A work, the Bryant 4801W is a 15A 277V single-pole.
10) Is an industrial grade toggle switch worth it over a residential builder-grade switch for apartment turns?
For a corridor, laundry room, stairwell, or any high-cycle common area, yes. The Arrow Hart AH1223 uses a polycarbonate body and a brass terminal enclosure, and it takes conductors up to #10 AWG, which a residential device generally will not. Builder-grade switches are 15A and often cannot be used on a 277V circuit at all. In-unit bedroom and closet switching at 120V is where a lighter device still makes sense.
11) Is the Pass and Seymour PS20AC3W a drop-in replacement for the Eaton Arrow Hart AH1223?
Not for the same circuit. The Pass and Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle switch, and it is supplied in white. The Eaton Arrow Hart AH1223 is a single-pole three-way device offered in gray and red. If the existing device is wired with a common terminal and two travelers for two-location control, you need the three-way AH1223; the PS20AC3W is the choice where a standard spec grade toggle is being swapped and color is meant to match white devices.
12) My facility standardizes on ivory and white devices. Does the Arrow Hart AH1223 come in those colors?
The Arrow Hart AH1223 is offered in gray as AH1223GY and red as AH1223RD, with red commonly used to flag emergency or generator-backed circuits. If the rest of the floor is ivory or white, the Pass and Seymour CS20AC3I is a commercial 20A specification grade toggle in ivory and the PS20AC3W is supplied in white, and the Bryant 4801W is a white toggle. Note those are single-pole devices rather than three-way.
