Pass & Seymour 693-WG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour 693WG fit in a single-gang box?
Yes. The 693WG puts two switch devices into a single-gang footprint, so you get two controls where a standard one-gang opening only allows one. The body measures 4.06 in high, 1.32 in wide and 0.94 in deep, so check your box depth and wire fill before you cram it in behind existing conductors.
2) Can I feed the two switches on a 693WG from separate circuits?
You can. There's a break-off tab on the 693WG; leave it intact for a common feed off one hot, or snap it out to run each switch from its own supply. That's the decision to make before you land the conductors, not after.
3) Is the Pass & Seymour 693WG UL listed and does it meet NEC grounding requirements?
cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installations, and it is a grounding combination device meeting NEC requirements. For an inspector that means a self-grounding path through the yoke plus the green grounding terminal has to be made up as usual.
4) I need two switches in one gang but no pilot light. What else is there?
The 693WG pairs a switch with a red neon pilot indicator, so if you just want two independent controls, look at a straight duplex combination switch instead. Leviton's 5334 Series is a 20A 120/277V duplex with two 1-pole switches, the Leviton 5634 is the 15A 120/277V commercial-grade version in ivory Decora, and Eaton's 271V-BOX is a commercial-grade duplex toggle at 15A, 120/277V in ivory. For two 3-ways in one gang, the Leviton 5643-W is white, 15A, 120/277V.
5) Can I use the 693WG on a 277V lighting circuit?
No. The 693WG is rated 125V, so it does not belong on a 277V commercial lighting branch. For 277V work use a commercial combination device rated 120/277V, such as the Leviton 5334 Series (20A) or the Leviton 5241-I, a 15A 1-pole plus 3-way combination.
6) What is the closest white two-switch combination device to the Pass & Seymour 693WG?
The Pass & Seymour 693WG is a white thermoplastic combination switch rated 125V that puts two switch devices in one gang. The closest white alternative is the Leviton 5643-W, a commercial grade combination switch with two 3-way switches rated 15A at 120/277V. The difference that matters on the wall: the 693WG carries a long-life red neon pilot light rated 1/25 Watt, 125V for visual status, while the 5643-W pairs two 3-way switches for control from two locations. Pick by whether you need pilot indication or three-way control.
7) What wire size does the Pass & Seymour 693WG accept, and does it have back-wire holes?
Side wire terminals only, taking #12 and #14 AWG copper conductors. If your rough-in was done with push-in back wiring in mind, plan on making up side terminations instead.
8) What is the red light on the 693WG for, and what voltage does it run at?
It's a long-life red neon pilot lamp rated 1/25 Watt at 125V, used to show at a glance that the controlled load is energized. Common use is an attic fan, a basement light, a water heater, or any load you can't see from the switch location. The device as a whole is rated 125V.
9) Is the 693WG tamper resistant, and how does that work on a switch?
It uses a dual mechanical shutter system that blocks insertion of foreign objects into the device openings. That's the feature specified for occupancies where children or the public have access, such as daycares, schools, and multi-family units.
10) Is the Pass & Seymour 693WG a commercial grade device?
The Pass & Seymour 693WG is a cULus Listed grounding combination device in molded white thermoplastic that meets NEC grounding requirements, and it is used in both residential and commercial installations. If your specification calls out commercial grade explicitly, the Eaton 271V-BOX, Leviton 5241-I, Leviton 5334, Leviton 5634 and Leviton 5643-W are all listed as commercial grade combination switches.
11) We standardize on Decora style plates - is the Pass & Seymour 693WG a match?
The Pass & Seymour 693WG is a white thermoplastic combination switch with a matte finish and a toggle-style body, not a Decora opening. If the rest of the building is Decora, the Leviton 5634 is a 120/277-volt 15-amp two 1-pole commercial grade AC combination switch in ivory Decora, which takes the same decorator style plate as your other devices.
12) Do the Leviton and Eaton combination switches give me the same tamper resistance as the Pass & Seymour 693WG?
The tamper-resistant dual mechanical shutter system and the long-life red neon pilot light are features of the Pass & Seymour 693WG itself. The comparable combination switches - Eaton 271V-BOX, Leviton 5241-I, 5334, 5634 and 5643-W - are commercial grade duplex combination switches selected on amperage, voltage, pole configuration and color. If the shutter system and pilot indication are what the job calls for, stay with the 693WG.
13) Will the 693WG match other white devices already in the building?
The 693WG is molded white thermoplastic with a matte finish, so it sits alongside standard white matte toggle devices rather than the glossy older-style plastics. If you're standardizing a property, the pilot light on this one is red neon, which will read differently from a plain white combination switch on the same wall plate.
14) Does the 693WG come with a wall plate?
No plate is included. The 693WG is a toggle-style combination device, so it takes a standard single-gang toggle (duplex toggle) opening plate, not a Decora/screwless rectangular opening. Order the plate separately and match it to your white matte finish.
