Pass & Seymour CS15AC1-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size does the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 toggle switch accept?
The CS15AC1 takes #14 through #10 AWG copper or copper-clad wire. It comes in side wire form or an external screw-pressure-plate back and side wire version, so you can pigtail and loop under the screw or push the conductor into the clamp plate on the back, whichever your rough-in favors. The tri-drive terminal and mounting screws let you drive them with more than one bit, which saves time on a panel of devices.
2) Is the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 switch UL listed for commercial jobs?
It's cULus Listed and Federal Spec Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installs and satisfies specs that call for a federal-spec commercial grade device. That's the pair of listings an inspector or a spec writer on an office or retail fit-out will be looking for.
3) I need a switch that can be locked off for maintenance or a 3-way with a pilot light. Does the CS15AC1 do that?
No. The CS15AC1 is a standard commercial spec grade toggle with no locking feature and no pilot light. For a lockable switch, the Leviton 1221-2IL is an industrial grade locking toggle, SPST 1-pole, 20A 120/277V, and Bryant's 4802L is a 4 Series single-pole locking AC switch at 20A 277V. If you need a 3-way with a pilot light, the Leviton 1223-PLR is an extra heavy-duty 3-way toggle with pilot light, 20A 120V. For center-off control of two loads, the Leviton 1286-W is a 20A DPDT center-off specification grade toggle.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 toggle switch from another brand?
The Bryant 9801 is the nearest match in function and rating: it is a BR Series single-pole AC switch rated 15A at 120/277V, the same single-pole 15-amp toggle duty the CS15AC1 commercial specification grade switch is built for. The CS15AC1 carries a one-piece brass alloy contact arm with oversized silver alloy contacts and is cULus Listed.
5) Can I use the CS15AC1 where the drawing calls for a double-pole or center-off switch?
No. The Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 is a single-pole commercial specification grade toggle switch. For a double-pole, double-throw arrangement with a center-off position, the Leviton 1286-W is a 20-amp DPDT center-off toggle switch in industrial/specification grade. That is the device for switching two legs or selecting between two loads, which a single-pole switch cannot do.
6) What colors does the CS15AC1 commercial toggle switch come in?
Two: white (CS15AC1-W) and ivory (CS15AC1-I). The toggle has a matte finish, so it sits consistently next to other matte spec-grade devices rather than showing gloss variation across a run of openings.
7) Will a standard wall plate fit the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1?
Yes. It's a standard toggle-style device, 3.281 inches high by 1.32 inches wide with a 1.073 inch body depth, so it mounts in a normal single-gang box and takes a standard toggle plate. Pass & Seymour calls out coordination with their TradeMaster and radiant plate lines if you want the plates and devices to match across a building.
8) Is a spec grade toggle switch worth it over a residential grade switch in a commercial building?
For anything with real traffic, yes. The CS15AC1 uses a one-piece brass alloy contact arm and oversized silver alloy contacts, plus a cam that makes fast and breaks positively to cut arcing, which is what drives switch life in a corridor or restroom that gets cycled all day. The toggle is thermoplastic polycarbonate to resist chipping, the back body is glass-reinforced nylon with locking support so the face doesn't separate from the body, and the one-piece steel strap with integral ground is plated against corrosion. Residential grade devices give you none of that.
9) Does the CS15AC1 switch need a separate ground screw or jumper?
No separate ground accessory is needed. The one-piece steel strap has an integral ground, plated for corrosion resistance, so you land the equipment ground on the device strap the way the spec expects.
10) I need a switch and a receptacle in one gang where the CS15AC1 would go. What is the alternative?
Use the Eaton decorator duplex combination switch with auto-ground, rated 15A in white and built to commercial grade. It puts both functions in a single gang, matching the 15-amp rating of the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 commercial specification grade toggle switch, which occupies the full gang with a switch only. Note the Eaton is a decorator-style device, so it takes a decorator plate rather than a toggle plate.
11) I want a switch with a lighted handle so it can be found in a dark corridor. Does the CS15AC1 do that?
No. The Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 uses a solid high-strength thermoplastic polycarbonate toggle with no illumination. For an illuminated handle, the Bryant 4801GLI is a 4-Series lighted AC switch rated 20A at 277V. If you need an indicator that the load is energized rather than a locator light, the Leviton 1223-PLR is a 3-way toggle with a pilot light.
12) What is the difference between commercial specification grade like the CS15AC1 and the industrial grade Leviton switches?
The Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 is a commercial specification grade toggle switch with a one-piece brass alloy contact arm, oversized silver alloy contacts, a plated one-piece steel strap with integral ground, and a glass-reinforced nylon back body; it is Federal Spec Listed and cULus Listed. The Leviton 1221-2IL and 1286-W are catalogued at industrial grade, and the 1221-2W, 1223-PLR and 1286-W at specification grade. For office and retail lighting control the CS15AC1 is the fit; for plant floors where the specifier has written industrial grade, choose the Leviton device that matches the pole configuration you need.
13) Is the Bryant CSB2BW a direct swap for the CS15AC1?
Not necessarily. The Bryant CSB2BW is a DPA Series wiring device switch rated at 277V, while the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 is a single-pole commercial specification grade toggle switch accepting #14 to #10 AWG copper or copper-clad wire on side wire or back and side wire models. Confirm the pole configuration and system voltage on the Bryant device against your circuit before treating it as an interchange; for a straight single-pole 15A 120/277V swap the Bryant 9801 is the closer match.
14) Where is the Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 switch made?
Mexico. For agencies and institutional buyers running country-of-origin requirements on a purchase order, that's the origin on record, and the device is Federal Spec Listed.
15) My existing switches are ivory. Do I have to change brands to match?
No. The Pass & Seymour CS15AC1 commercial specification grade toggle switch is offered in both ivory, part number CS15AC1-I, and white, part number CS15AC1-W, both in a matte finish, so an ivory fleet can be maintained with the same device. By contrast the Eaton decorator combination switch and the Leviton 1221-2W and 1286-W are white devices, and the Leviton pair are decorator-free toggles in a different grade line.
