Orbit DS15-W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Orbit DS15-W switch control a light from two locations?
No. The DS15-W is a single-pole switch, so it controls a fixture or receptacle from one switching location only. If you need control from two spots (top and bottom of a stair, two room entries), you need a 3-way switch instead. ZenSupply carries 3-way options such as the Pass & Seymour 2623W decorator paddle switch, 20A 120V/277V, and the Leviton 1223-PLR 3-way toggle with pilot light, 20A 120V.
2) Is a 15A switch like the Orbit DS15-W enough for my lighting circuit?
For a standard 15A branch circuit feeding lighting or general-purpose loads, the DS15-W is rated to match at 15A. If the circuit is wired on a 20A breaker, spec a 20A switch instead, such as the Leviton 1221-2W industrial specification grade SPST toggle (20A, 120/277V) or the Bryant 4802L single-pole locking AC switch (20A, 277V).
3) Can the Orbit DS15-W be used on a 277V lighting circuit in a commercial building?
Use a switch rated for 277V on those circuits. The DS15-W is specified as a 15A single-pole device for standard residential and light commercial wiring; for 277V AC lighting ZenSupply stocks the Bryant 9801 (1-pole, 15A, 120/277V) and the Bryant 4801GLI lighted AC switch (20A, 277V).
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Orbit DS15-W 15A single-pole switch from another brand?
The Pass & Seymour TM TradeMaster is also a 15A decorator switch, making it the nearest match in amperage class to the Orbit DS15-W 15A single-pole wall switch. If a toggle body is wanted instead, the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W is a commercial specification grade toggle switch in white, and the Bryant 9801 is a 1-pole 15A 120/277V AC switch.
5) Will the Orbit DS15-W fit a standard single-gang wall box and existing wallplate?
Yes. The DS15-W mounts in standard wallboxes and works with common wallplate configurations used in residential and light commercial work, so it drops into an existing single-gang opening on a retrofit. The device is white, so match the plate color accordingly.
6) What part number do I order for the Orbit 15A white single-pole switch?
Order Orbit DS15-W. That is the manufacturer part number as well, and it is the only configuration, 15A single-pole in white, so there is no finish or amperage option to specify.
7) Is there a heavier-duty alternative to the Orbit DS15-W for high-traffic commercial or industrial spaces?
Yes. The Orbit DS15-W is built for standard residential and light commercial wiring. For industrial duty, the Leviton 1221-2W is an extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade SPST toggle switch, and the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W is a commercial specification grade toggle switch. For facilities standardizing on commercial grade devices, the Eaton decorator duplex combination switch is a commercial grade 15A white device.
8) I need ivory instead of white to match existing devices - what is the alternative to the Orbit DS15-W?
The Orbit DS15-W is the white version of the switch. For ivory, the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3I is a commercial specification grade switch in ivory; its white counterpart is the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W.
9) Which alternative should I pick if I need a lighted switch so occupants can find it in a dark room?
The Orbit DS15-W has no illumination. The Bryant 4801GLI is a lighted AC switch in the 4-Series rated 20A 277V, and the Leviton 1223-PLR is a 3-way toggle switch with a pilot light rated 20A 120V.
10) Is the Leviton 1286-W a substitute for the Orbit DS15-W?
No. The Leviton 1286-W is a 20A DPDT center-off toggle switch, industrial/specification grade, which is a double-pole double-throw device with a center-off position used for reversing or three-position control. The Orbit DS15-W is a 15A single-pole on/off switch for a single circuit from one location, so the two are not wiring-interchangeable.
11) I need a switch and receptacle in one gang, does the Orbit DS15-W do that?
No. The DS15-W is a switch only, single-pole on/off. For a combination device in one gang, ZenSupply carries the Eaton decorator duplex combination switch with auto-ground, 15A, white, commercial grade.
12) Is the Orbit DS15-W a paddle or decorator style switch?
The Orbit DS15-W is a single-pole wall switch that fits standard wallboxes and common wallplate configurations. If a decorator paddle face is required for the opening, the Pass & Seymour 2623W is a decorator paddle switch and the Pass & Seymour TM TradeMaster is a 15A decorator switch.
