Leviton 20A Double-Pole Toggle Pilot Light Switch, Industrial Grade

The Leviton is a 20 Amp, 120 Volt double-pole toggle switch with an illuminated ON pilot light in green, built to Industrial Grade standards for demanding commercial and industrial environments. This AC quiet switch requires a neutral connection and is self-grounding for simplified, code-compliant installation, with back and side wiring terminals for flexible mounting in the box. The built-in green pilot light glows whenever the switch is in the ON position, giving installers and end users an at-a-glance status indicator for connected equipment or lighting circuits.

Key Features

Leviton 1222-PLR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use this Leviton double-pole switch to control a motor load?
It carries a 1 horsepower rating, so it will switch a fractional-horsepower motor load up to that at 120V, along with the 20A general branch circuit rating. Double-pole means it breaks both ungrounded conductors, which is what you want on a 240V two-wire load or where the equipment needs full disconnection rather than a single switched leg.
2) Do I still have to run a bonding jumper to the switch, or is it self-grounding?
Self-grounding strap, so the mounting screws carry the ground path to a properly grounded metal box and you can skip the pigtail. In a nonmetallic box you still land an equipment grounding conductor on the green screw. Terminal torque is 12 to 14 pound inches, and it takes both back wire and side wire terminations.
3) Does the pilot light glow when the switch is off or when it is on?
The green indicator lights when the toggle is in the ON position, not when off. That is the opposite of a locator-light switch, which glows in the dark when the load is off so you can find it. Use this one when the point is to see from the hallway or the panel area that a fan, heater, or exterior circuit is actually energized.
4) What is the closest 20A industrial grade toggle switch to the Leviton 1222-PLG if the circuit does not need a pilot light?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle switch in white, and it is the usual pick when the opening needs a rugged 20A toggle without a status indicator. The Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR are 20A, 120V double-pole devices with an illuminated ON pilot light in green, so they need a neutral run to the box for the indicator circuit. If there is no neutral available at the switch box, the PS20AC3W avoids that requirement entirely. Note the two are not functionally identical: the Leviton is double-pole, so it breaks both ungrounded conductors.
5) Which 20A toggle switch works on a 277V lighting circuit?
The Eaton Arrow Hart 1223GY is an industrial grade three-way toggle switch rated 20A, 120/277V, and it is the device for a 277V commercial lighting branch. The Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR are rated 120V, so they do not apply on a 277V circuit regardless of the amperage match. The two are also different functions - the Arrow Hart is three-way, the Leviton is double-pole with a green ON pilot light - so confirm the switching arrangement as well as the voltage before ordering either.
6) Can a Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I be used in place of a Leviton 1222 pilot light switch?
Only where the pilot light is not part of the requirement. The Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I is a commercial 20A specification grade toggle switch in ivory. The Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR carry an illuminated green ON pilot light and are double-pole, 20A at 120V, self-grounding, with back and side wiring terminals. Swapping to the CS20AC3I gives up the at-a-glance ON indication that is usually the reason the 1222-PL was specified in the first place - typically for equipment or remote loads the operator cannot see from the switch location.
7) What is the difference between Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR?
Both are the same 20A, 120V double-pole pilot light toggle. The order code is what changes: 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR are the two part numbers offered. Give your distributor the full suffix, because a bare 1222 is a different device without the pilot.
8) Will this Leviton switch hold up in an unheated warehouse or a cold storage area?
The switch is rated down to -40 degrees Celsius, with a 30 degree Celsius maximum temperature rise in service. The body, base, and cover are thermoplastic with a polycarbonate toggle, and the plastic carries a UL 94 V-2 flammability rating. That covers unconditioned warehouse, loading dock, and mechanical room use.
9) Is the Leviton 1222-PL industrial grade or spec grade, and what does that mean for a high-traffic building?
Industrial Grade, which is Leviton's heavy-duty tier above residential and commercial devices. Contacts are silver alloy, dielectric strength is 1500 volts, and it is built to ANSI C-73 for configuration. For a comparable heavy-duty device without the pilot light, the Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty spec grade toggle, and the Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I is a commercial 20A spec grade device in ivory.
10) Can I standardize a building on this Leviton switch and use it everywhere?
Only where a pilot indication is wanted and a neutral exists at the box. For the general single-pole and three-way openings in the same building, pair it with plain grounding toggles rather than forcing the pilot device everywhere: the Pass & Seymour TradeMaster 660G in brown or 663LAG in light almond cover the standard finishes, and the Eaton Arrow Hart 20A three-way handles the multi-location circuits. Keep the 1222-PL for equipment circuits where someone needs to see status.
11) Is the Pass & Seymour 660G TradeMaster switch an equivalent to the Leviton 1222-PLG?
They serve different duty levels. The Pass & Seymour 660G is a TradeMaster grounding toggle switch with a brown satin thermoplastic finish. The Leviton 1222-PLG is built to Industrial Grade with silver alloy contacts, a thermoplastic body and base, a polycarbonate toggle, a 1500 volt dielectric rating, and a self-grounding strap, and it is a double-pole device with a green ON pilot light. The 660G is a grounding device rather than self-grounding, and it carries no pilot indicator. For a matched brown-finish trade device on general-purpose circuits the 660G is the direct pick; where the spec calls for industrial construction with visible circuit status, it is not a substitute.
12) Which toggle switch matches a light almond device fleet if the Leviton 1222-PL green toggle will not blend in?
The Pass & Seymour 663LAG is a TradeMaster grounding toggle switch in light almond thermoplastic and is the match where the wall devices in a space are standardized on light almond. The Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR use a green toggle handle by design, since the illuminated green ON pilot light is meant to be spotted from across the room rather than blend into the wall plate. On a fleet where every device is expected to look alike, the 663LAG fits the finish; where the switch needs to be found and read at a glance, the green industrial grade device is the intent.
13) For a motor load on a 20A circuit, does the Leviton 1222-PL or a Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W apply?
The Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR are rated 1 horsepower at 20A, 120V, with silver alloy contacts, a 30 degree celsius temperature rise limit, and operation down to -40 degrees celsius, so they will carry a small motor load with the pilot light confirming the equipment is energized. The Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle switch in white and is the alternative where no indicator is wanted at the switch. For equipment out of sight of the operator - an exhaust fan, a pump, a compressor - the horsepower-rated device with the ON indicator is generally what gets specified.
14) Does specification grade mean the same thing as the Industrial grade on the Leviton 1222-PL?
They are different marks and worth reading carefully when standardizing a facility. The Leviton 1222-PLG and 1222-PLR are Industrial Grade, conforming to ANSI C-73, rated V-2 per UL 94 for flammability, with a 1500 volt dielectric rating and terminal torque of 12 to 14 pound inches. Among the alternates, the Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade device and the CS20AC3I is a commercial specification grade device - same specification grade wording, different duty descriptions ahead of it. When a drawing calls out a grade by name, match the wording on the drawing rather than assuming the tiers line up across brands.
15) Will a standard toggle wall plate fit this Leviton pilot light switch?
Yes. It is a standard toggle-style device, so any single-gang toggle opening plate fits, and it ganged alongside other toggle devices in a multi-gang box the same way. The toggle handle itself is green polycarbonate, so it reads as a marked circuit on the wall even before the light is on.
