Pass & Seymour TM870-LA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What's the difference between the Pass & Seymour TM870-LA and TM873-LA decorator switches?
Pole count is the only difference. TM870-LA is the single-pole version, for one switch controlling a light. TM873-LA is the three-way version, used in pairs so two separate switch locations control the same fixture (stairwells, halls, rooms with two entries). Both are 15A, 120/277V TradeMaster decorator rockers in Light Almond with a grounding terminal.
2) Can the Pass & Seymour TradeMaster TM-870LA switch be used on a 277V commercial lighting circuit?
Yes. The TradeMaster decorator rocker is rated 15A at 120/277V, so it works on 277V fluorescent or LED lighting branch circuits as well as standard 120V residential circuits. Same rating applies to both the single-pole and three-way versions.
3) Is the Pass & Seymour TM-870LA switch UL listed and CSA certified?
It is. The TradeMaster decorator switch is UL Listed to UL20 and CSA Certified to C22.2 111, and it is Buy American Act compliant with manufacture in the United States, which matters on federally funded and institutional work.
4) Will a decorator rocker switch fit my existing switch plates?
No, not if those plates are the toggle style. A decorator rocker needs a decorator (Deco) wallplate with the single large rectangular opening. If your building is standardized on toggle plates, you'll be changing plates along with the switches. Order the plates in the matching Light Almond to keep the openings consistent.
5) How many TM873-LA three-way switches do I need for one light controlled from two locations?
Two. A three-way circuit uses a three-way switch at each location, so you'd order two TM873-LA devices plus the travelers between them. If you want a third control point you need a four-way device in the middle, which is not part of the TM870/TM873 pair.
6) Will this switch fit in a crowded old work box with existing wiring?
That's what the narrow back body is for. The TradeMaster decorator switch uses a slim rear profile that leaves more conductor room inside the box, and an extra-long through-body strap so the device doesn't float in the opening or sit crooked behind the plate on shallow or packed boxes.
7) Does the Pass & Seymour TM-870LA have a ground screw?
Yes, a dedicated grounding terminal is on every configuration, single-pole and three-way alike. That lets you bond the device to the circuit equipment ground, which is required for switches in most modern installations and is the usual sticking point with older ungrounded devices being replaced.
8) Can I use this 15A switch on a 20A lighting circuit?
The device is rated 15A, so it must not carry more than 15 amps of load regardless of what the breaker is. On a 20A branch circuit you need a switch rated for the circuit's load per your inspector's requirement; for lighting loads at or under 15A it's generally acceptable, but a 20A-rated device is the safe spec if the load approaches the breaker rating.
9) What is the TM-870LA switch body made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic commercial space?
High-impact-resistant thermoplastic, with a satin-finish rocker face. It's built for daily commercial and residential use, which is why these show up in multifamily corridors, offices, and rental turns where the device gets operated constantly.
10) What color is the TM-870LA, and can I match other devices in the same room?
The LA suffix is Light Almond, on both the single-pole TM870-LA and the three-way TM873-LA. TradeMaster devices are offered in a range of finishes including White, Black, Ivory, Gray, Brown, Nickel, Titanium, Dark Bronze, and Antique Brass, so receptacles and switches on the same wall can be kept consistent. Stay with Light Almond if you're matching existing devices in that color rather than mixing in white.
