Leviton 80701-RE Nylon Emergency Toggle Switch, Single-Pole
The Leviton 80701-RE is a single-toggle emergency switch built with a durable nylon housing, designed to give facility managers, electricians, and building operators a dedicated, clearly identifiable control point for emergency shut-off applications. As part of Leviton's long-standing line of commercial and industrial wiring devices, this emergency switch combines the familiar, reliable toggle-actuation mechanism found across Leviton's device portfolio with a construction intended to withstand the demands of everyday commercial use. The nylon body resists cracking, chipping, and general wear better than lower-grade plastics, helping the switch maintain its function and appearance over years of repeated operation. Because emergency switches are often mounted in high-traffic or high-visibility locations -- mechanical rooms, elevator equipment rooms, kitchens, and similar spaces -- having a device that is both physically robust and simple to operate is essential, and the 80701-RE is designed around exactly that requirement.

Why Leviton?
Leviton has built its reputation on manufacturing wiring devices that electricians and facility teams can install with confidence, and the 80701-RE nylon emergency toggle switch continues that tradition. Its nylon construction is chosen specifically to hold up under repeated actuation and everyday wear, so the device continues to perform reliably wherever it is installed. For contractors and facility managers who need a dependable, single-toggle emergency switch that will stand up to daily use in demanding commercial and industrial settings, the Leviton 80701-RE offers straightforward, code-oriented functionality backed by the Leviton name. Choosing a purpose-built emergency switch, rather than a general-purpose toggle device repurposed for the role, helps ensure the control point is clearly intended for its emergency function -- an important consideration for both safety and operational clarity in any facility.
