Leviton 1451-2T – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Leviton 1453-2 toggle switch control one light from two locations?
Yes. The 1453-2 is the 3-way configuration in Leviton's industrial spec grade AC quiet toggle line, so a pair of them lets you switch one fixture or circuit from two separate points, like the two ends of a corridor or the top and bottom of a stair. If you only need control from a single location, order the 1-pole model instead.
2) Will a 20A Leviton AC quiet toggle switch work on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. These Leviton industrial spec grade toggle switches are rated 20A at 120/277V AC, so they take both standard 120V branch circuits and the 277V lighting circuits common in commercial buildings fed from a 480/277 system. Same device either way.
3) Can I use a 15A switch instead of a 20A switch on a 20A lighting circuit?
No. On a 20 amp branch circuit the switch has to be rated for the circuit, so a 15A device like the Bryant 4801W single-pole 277V toggle is not a substitute for a 20A device. Leviton's industrial spec grade AC quiet toggles are rated 20A at 120/277V and are the correct pick for a 20A circuit. A 15A switch is fine only where the circuit itself is 15A.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Leviton 1453-2 three-way toggle switch from another manufacturer?
The Eaton Arrow Hart industrial grade three-way toggle switch, catalog AH-1223GY, is the closest direct counterpart. It is a three-way toggle rated 20A at 120/277V, the same switching arrangement and electrical rating as the Leviton 1453-2 three-way AC quiet toggle. The Eaton device is gray; the Leviton 1453-2 is brown, so if the other devices in the opening are brown the Leviton keeps the finish consistent and the Eaton does not.
5) I need the same extra heavy duty spec grade toggle but in white instead of brown - what are my options?
Two routes. Staying with Leviton, the 1453-2W is the white version of the three-way AC quiet toggle, and 5224-2W, 54504-2W, CS215-2W and CSB3-20W are further white models in the same family. Crossing brands, the Pass and Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle switch in white, built to the same extra heavy duty specification grade standard the Leviton is.
6) Can I use the Bryant 4801W in place of a Leviton 1453-2?
No - they are different switching arrangements. The Bryant 4801W 4-Series is a single-pole 15A 277V AC toggle switch, so it controls a circuit from one location only and is rated 15A. The Leviton 1453-2 is a three-way device rated 20A at 120/277V, which lets one fixture be controlled from two separate locations. If the opening is a three-way traveler circuit, the 4801W will not wire in. For a single-pole spot on a 20A circuit, look instead at the Leviton 1-pole models such as 1451-2.
7) Are the Leviton 1453-2E, 1453-2I and 1453-2W the same switch in different colors?
Yes, those are color variations of the same 3-way device: the suffix letter is the color code, with I for ivory, W for white and E for gray. If you're matching existing devices on a floor, pick the suffix that matches the wallplates and receptacles already installed rather than mixing colors across a run.
8) Is a spec grade toggle switch worth it over a residential grade switch in an office building?
For a building with high traffic and daily switching, yes. These Leviton devices are built to Extra Heavy-Duty Industrial/Specification Grade standards, meant for high-cycle switching where a residential grade device would wear out. Spec grade is also what most commercial drawings call for by name, so a residential switch can fail an inspection or a submittal review even if it carries the right amperage.
9) What is a good alternative to the Leviton 1453-2 three-way switch from another brand?
The Eaton Arrow Hart Industrial Grade Three-Way Toggle Switch carries the same 20A 120/277V rating and the same three-way function, so it's the closest cross to Leviton's 1453-2. On the Pass and Seymour side, the PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle and the CS20AC3I is their commercial 20A specification grade version in ivory.
10) I need a brown toggle switch to match older devices. What are my options?
Leviton's industrial spec grade AC quiet toggle is offered in brown, which is what you want when you're replacing devices in an existing building wired out with brown finishes. From another brand, the Pass and Seymour 660G Trademaster grounding toggle is also a brown satin thermoplastic device. Match the finish across a room rather than dropping one white switch into a brown run.
11) What is the difference between the Pass and Seymour CS20AC3I and the Leviton 1453-2I?
Both are 20A specification grade toggle switches offered in ivory - the Leviton 1453-2I is the ivory member of the AC quiet toggle family and the Pass and Seymour CS20AC3I is a commercial 20A specification grade toggle. The Leviton line is built to Extra Heavy-Duty Industrial/Specification Grade standards, while the Pass and Seymour CS20AC3I is described as commercial specification grade. Pass and Seymour also offers the PS20AC3W at industrial extra heavy duty specification grade if you want the heavier construction within that brand.
12) Is there a lighter duty toggle switch than the Leviton 1453-2 for a low traffic application?
Yes. The Pass and Seymour Trademaster grounding toggle switches, 660G in brown satin thermoplastic and 663LAG in light almond, are a residential and light commercial grade line rather than the extra heavy duty industrial specification grade construction the Leviton 1453-2 uses. The 660G matches the brown finish of the Leviton if you are keeping a brown device plate scheme. For high cycle, heavy traffic switching the Leviton specification grade device is the one built for that duty.
13) My panel schedule calls out a 20A 277V switch - which of these will hold that rating?
The Leviton AC quiet toggle family is rated 20A at 120/277V AC, so it holds on a 277V branch circuit, and the Eaton Arrow Hart AH-1223GY three-way is likewise a 20A 120/277V device. The Bryant 4801W 4-Series is 277V AC but rated 15A single-pole, so it will not satisfy a 20A callout. The Pass and Seymour PS20AC3W and CS20AC3I are both 20A specification grade toggles.
14) What does AC quiet mean on a Leviton toggle switch?
It refers to the mechanism: an AC quiet toggle actuates smoothly without the loud snap of an older AC/DC style switch. That matters in conference rooms, patient rooms, classrooms and hotel corridors where the click carries. Electrically it's still a full 20A 120/277V device.
