Leviton W5601-2W Single-Pole 15A Wall Switch

The Leviton W5601-2W is a single-pole 15A wall switch built to deliver dependable ON/OFF circuit control for lighting and general-purpose loads. As a single-pole (1P) device, it controls a load from a single switching location, making it a straightforward fit for standard residential and commercial branch circuits. Backed by Leviton's long-standing reputation for electrical wiring devices built to perform under everyday use, this switch is a practical choice for new installations, remodels, and replacement projects where a reliable 15A single-pole switch is required. Its simple single-pole configuration means it does not require a companion switch at a second location, keeping wiring straightforward for electricians and DIY installers alike.

Key Features

  • 15A Rating: Rated to handle 15A loads, suitable for typical lighting and general-purpose circuits found in residential and commercial buildings.
  • Wall Switch Form Factor: Designed as a standard wall-mounted toggle-style device for straightforward installation into a standard single-gang or multi-gang device box.
  • Leviton Build Quality: Manufactured by Leviton, a long-established name in electrical wiring devices, engineered for consistent performance across repeated everyday switching cycles.
  • Straightforward Wiring: Single-pole design keeps the wiring configuration simple, reducing installation time compared to multi-location switching setups.

Leviton W5601-2W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Leviton W5601-2W work for controlling a light from two different locations?
No. The W5601-2W is a single-pole switch, so it controls a load from one switching location only. If you need to switch the same light from two spots, such as both ends of a hallway or the top and bottom of a stairway, you need a pair of 3-way switches instead. The upside of the single-pole configuration is simpler wiring, since there is no traveler run to a companion device.
2) Is a 15A switch like the Leviton W5601-2W enough for a lighting circuit?
For a standard 15A branch circuit feeding lighting or general-purpose loads, yes. The W5601-2W is rated 15A, which matches the typical residential and light commercial lighting circuit protected by a 15A breaker. On a 20A branch circuit the switch rating should match the circuit, so specify a 20A device there rather than this one.
3) Can I use this Leviton switch as a direct replacement for an existing toggle switch in an office or apartment?
For a straight swap of an existing single-pole toggle on a 15A lighting circuit, yes. Confirm the old device is single-pole (one hot in, one load out, plus ground) and not a 3-way or 4-way before you pull it. Property managers standardizing on one device across units will find this a common spec for residential, office, and light commercial lighting and general-purpose circuits.
4) What part number do I order for the Leviton single-pole 15A toggle switch?
Order Leviton W5601-2W. That is the manufacturer part number and the only configuration offered, a single-pole 15A wall switch in white.
5) Does the Leviton W5601-2W fit a standard device box, and does it come with a wall plate?
It mounts as a standard toggle-style wall switch in a single-gang or multi-gang device box. A wall plate is not part of the switch itself, so order the cover plate separately along with any box or mounting hardware the job needs.
