Leviton 2653 3-Way Toggle Switch, 15A 120V CO/ALR Residential Grade

The Leviton 2653 3-Way Toggle Switch is a residential-grade device engineered to control lighting and receptacle circuits from two separate switch locations, a common requirement in hallways, stairwells, and multi-entry rooms. Rated 15-Amp at 120-Volt AC, this framed toggle switch carries a CO/ALR rating, meaning it is listed for direct connection to either copper or aluminum branch-circuit conductors, which gives electricians and contractors added flexibility when wiring both new construction and retrofit projects. Its quiet, smooth toggle action and durable residential-grade construction make it a dependable choice for everyday switching applications in homes and light commercial spaces where consistent, code-compliant performance is expected.

Key Features

  • 3-Way Configuration: Toggle switch design allows lighting or receptacle circuits to be controlled independently from two different switch locations.
  • Electrical Rating: Rated 15-Amp at 120-Volt AC, suitable for standard residential and light commercial branch circuits.
  • CO/ALR Rated: Listed CO/ALR for direct termination to copper or aluminum wiring, adding installation flexibility on both new and existing circuits.
  • Residential Grade: Built to residential-grade performance standards for reliable, everyday switching duty in homes and light commercial settings.
  • Quiet Toggle Action: Framed toggle mechanism delivers smooth, quiet operation with each switch cycle, reducing noise in living spaces.

Leviton 2653-2W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Leviton 2653 switch on aluminum branch circuit wiring?
Yes. The 2653 toggle switch is CO/ALR rated, which means it is listed for direct termination to aluminum conductors as well as copper. That is the whole reason to specify this switch over a standard copper-only device in an older home wired with aluminum branch circuits, where a non-CO/ALR switch is not permitted on those conductors.
2) What is a 3-way switch used for, and do I need two of them?
A 3-way switch controls one lighting or receptacle circuit from two separate locations, the usual setup at the top and bottom of a stairwell, each end of a hallway, or a room with two doorways. Three-way circuits take two 3-way devices, one at each location, so plan on ordering the Leviton 2653 in pairs. If you need control from three or more points, the two end locations use 3-way switches and every point in between uses a 4-way.
3) Will the Leviton 2653 replace an existing 3-way toggle switch in my wall box?
For a straight swap of another single gang 3-way toggle, yes. A 3-way switch has three terminals plus a ground: a common terminal and two travelers. Label the wire on the common screw before you pull the old device out, because getting the common on a traveler terminal is what makes a 3-way circuit behave backwards. It replaces a switch in a standard single gang box and takes the same toggle wallplate.
4) Is this switch heavy duty enough for an apartment building or office?
The 2653 is a residential-grade device. That covers homes and light commercial switching where the switch gets normal daily use. For a high traffic commercial opening, a corridor switched dozens of times a day, or anywhere a facility spec calls for spec grade or heavy duty hardware, step up to a commercial or spec grade toggle instead. Property managers standardizing a portfolio should decide which grade they want on every unit before buying in quantity.
5) What color is the Leviton 2653-2W, and will it match my existing devices?
White. The -2W suffix on the part number is the white finish, so it matches white receptacles, white toggles, and white wallplates already in the room. If your other devices are ivory, light almond, brown, or black, this one will stand out.
6) Does the Leviton 2653 come with a wallplate?
No wallplate is included. The 2653 is a framed toggle switch, so it takes a standard single gang toggle wallplate opening, not a decorator or rocker plate. Order plates separately and count one opening per switch, which means a two gang plate wherever you gang two devices in one box.
7) Will the Leviton 2653 work as a dimmer or with an occupancy sensor?
No. The 2653 is a mechanical toggle switch, full on or full off. It does not dim and it has no sensing. If you want dimming from two locations you need a 3-way dimmer at one point paired with a 3-way switch at the other, and for automatic control you need an occupancy or vacancy sensor switch rated for 3-way operation.
8) Can I use the Leviton 2653 to switch a receptacle, not just a light?
Yes. Leviton lists the 2653 for controlling lighting or receptacle circuits from two locations, so a switched outlet in a bedroom or living room controlled from two doorways is a normal application. Keep the load within the 15A 120V AC rating.
