Leviton 5601-2W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 2-pole rating on the Leviton Decora Plus 5622-2W switch actually let me control?
A 2-pole switch breaks both hot legs of a circuit at once from a single paddle. On the Leviton Decora Plus rocker, that means you can switch a 240V or 277V two-wire load, or kill two ungrounded conductors together, rather than the single leg a standard single-pole device opens. It is the device you use when the load or the code requires simultaneous disconnect of both lines, not the one you use to control a light from two locations (that is a 3-way).
2) Will the Leviton Decora Plus rocker switch work on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. The Decora Plus rocker is rated 120/277V AC, so it drops straight onto a 277V commercial lighting branch as well as standard 120V. That dual rating is why it shows up on office and warehouse fixture circuits where the panel is 277/480V, and it means one part number covers both voltages on a mixed building.
3) Is a 20A switch required, or can I use a 15A switch on a 20A circuit?
The Decora Plus rocker is rated 20A, which means it can be used on either a 15A or a 20A branch circuit. A 15A-rated switch is not permitted to carry a 20A load, so speccing the 20A device across a building avoids the situation where the wrong box gets opened on a 20A lighting or motor-load circuit. For MRO buyers standardizing a stock room, the 20A device is the one that covers both.
4) Which Leviton 56xx model do I order for a single-pole versus a 3-way versus a 2-pole switch?
The Decora Plus commercial rocker family splits by pole count in the model number: 5601-2W is the single pole, 5603-2W is the 3-way, 5621-2W is the 4-way, and 5622-2W is the 2-pole. Pick by how the box is wired, not by looks, since all four share the same rocker paddle and white face. The 5621 is also offered as 5621-2I in ivory.
5) Can I use the Leviton 5622-2W 2-pole switch to control a light from two different doorways?
No. Controlling one load from two locations takes a pair of 3-way switches, which is the 5603-2W in this family. The 5622-2W is a double pole device: it opens two hot legs together from one location. Adding a third control point means a 4-way in the middle, the 5621-2W, wired between two 3-ways.
6) Does the Leviton Decora Plus switch come with a wallplate?
No. The Decora Plus rocker ships as the device only. You need a Decora/GFCI style rectangular-opening wallplate sized to the gang count of the box, plus the mounting screws that come on the strap. Standard toggle plates will not fit the rocker opening.
7) Why choose a commercial spec grade switch like the Decora Plus over a residential grade rocker?
Two reasons that matter on a job: the 120/277V dual rating, which a residential-grade device does not carry, and internal components built for repeated switching on high-traffic openings. If the circuit is 120V only and the traffic is light, a residential-grade device does the job. On office, healthcare and hospitality lighting, where a switch gets thrown dozens of times a day and the panel may be 277V, the spec-grade device is the one written into the drawings.
8) What color options does the Leviton Decora Plus commercial rocker come in?
White on the 5601, 5603, 5621 and 5622, with the 5621 four-way also offered in ivory as 5621-2I. If you are matching existing devices across a floor, the white is the default commercial spec finish here.
9) What is an AC quiet switch and does it matter in a hospital or hotel corridor?
An AC quiet switch uses a mechanism that dampens the snap you hear on a standard toggle. On the Decora Plus rocker that is the point of the design, and it is why these get specified in patient rooms, guest rooms, and open offices where a loud click at 2am is a complaint. Electrically it behaves the same as any other switch of the same rating.
