Leviton 5243-I Duplex 3-Way Combination Switch, 15A, 120/277V, Ivory

The Leviton 5243-I is a commercial grade AC combination switch that combines two independent 3-way toggle switches on a single duplex strap, allowing an electrician to control two separate lighting circuits from one device location. Rated 120/277-Volt AC and 15-Amp, this combination device is built for the higher duty cycles found in commercial and light industrial wiring, and it ships in a durable Ivory finish that matches standard device and wallplate color lines. Because both switches are true 3-way units, each circuit can be operated from two separate switch locations, making the 5243-I a practical choice anywhere multi-location lighting control and space-saving duplex mounting are both required.

Key Features

  • Duplex 3-Way Configuration: Two independent 3-way toggle switches are combined on a single strap, saving a gang space while controlling two separate circuits.
  • Electrical Rating: Rated 120/277-Volt AC and 15-Amp for use on standard and higher-voltage commercial branch circuits.
  • Commercial Grade Construction: Built to commercial grade standards for the durability and repeated switching demands of commercial and industrial facilities.
  • Three-Way Operation: Each switch section is wired as a true 3-way device, enabling control of a single lighting circuit from two separate switch locations.
  • Finish: Ivory housing coordinates with common device and wallplate finishes for a clean, consistent installation.
  • Combination Device Design: Consolidates two switching functions into one device footprint, reducing the number of gangs required in the box and wallplate.

Leviton 5243-I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can one Leviton 5243-I control two separate lighting circuits from a single gang?
That's exactly what it's for. The 5243-I puts two independent 3-way toggle switches on one duplex strap, so two separate lighting circuits are controlled from one device opening instead of two gangs. Each half is wired separately, so the circuits stay independent.
2) Is the Leviton 5243-I a true 3-way switch on both halves, or is one side single pole?
Both sections are true 3-way devices. Each half gives you a common plus two travelers, so each circuit can be switched from two separate locations. If you only need single-location switching on one of the two circuits, this is more device than the job calls for, and you would be looking at a single-pole/3-way combination instead.
3) Will the Leviton 5243-I work on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. The 5243-I is rated 120/277V AC at 15A, so it covers both standard 120V branch circuits and the 277V leg common in commercial fluorescent and LED lighting panels. Keep the connected load at or under 15A.
4) Is this Leviton combination switch commercial grade or residential spec grade?
Commercial grade. Leviton builds the 5243-I to commercial grade standards for the repeated switching cycles found in commercial and light industrial facilities, which is also why it carries the 277V rating a residential device would not.
5) What wallplate do I need for a Leviton 5243-I duplex combination switch?
It mounts in a single gang and takes a duplex receptacle style plate, not a toggle switch plate, because both toggles sit in one duplex opening. Order the plate in Ivory to match the device finish.
6) Does the Leviton 5243-I come in Ivory, and will it match my existing devices?
The 5243-I ships in Ivory, which is one of the standard Leviton device and wallplate color lines, so it coordinates with existing Ivory receptacles and switches on the other openings. Only the Ivory model is offered under part number 5243-I; other colors carry a different suffix.
7) How many conductors do I need to run to a Leviton 5243-I?
Each half is a 3-way, so each circuit needs a common and two travelers at this device. Running both circuits through one 5243-I means six switching conductors plus your grounding conductor landing in the same box, so check that the box fill allows it before you consolidate two gangs into one.
8) Can I use the Leviton 5243-I as a replacement for two separate 3-way switches in a crowded box?
Yes, that is the usual reason to pick it. Swapping two single gang 3-way switches for one 5243-I frees a gang space while keeping both circuits on multi-location control. The existing travelers and commons land on the matching halves of the duplex strap, and the gang you free up can be blanked or used for another device.
