Pass & Seymour TM870-W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Pass & Seymour TradeMaster decorator switch be used on a 277V commercial lighting circuit?
Yes. The TradeMaster decorator rocker is rated 15A at 120/277V AC, so it works on both standard 120V residential branch circuits and 277V commercial lighting circuits. That rating is the same across every pole configuration and every color, so you can standardize one device across a mixed 120/277V building.
2) Which TradeMaster part number do I order for a 3-way switch?
Three-way switching uses the 3-pole TradeMaster, model TM873 in brown or TM873-W in white. Single-location switching is the TM870 family, and the 4-pole version for four-way circuits is TM874. Pick the pole count first, then the color suffix.
3) What wire sizes will the TradeMaster switch terminals accept, and can I back wire it?
Terminations are external screw-pressure-plate, back and side wired, taking #12 and #14 AWG. There is also a push wire option for #14 AWG if you want faster terminations on a long run of devices. Ground is a green hex head screw, and the ground, terminal, and mounting screws are tri-drive.
4) For a 277V commercial lighting circuit, should I use the TradeMaster switch or a Leviton residential grade rocker?
The Pass & Seymour TradeMaster decorator switch is rated 15A at 120/277V AC and cULus Listed to CSA C22.2 111, with that rating held across every pole configuration and finish. Among the Leviton comparables, the Decora Rocker AC Quiet Switch also lists a 120/277V 15A rating, though it is classified residential grade, while the 5601-2 and the 1-pole Decora rocker are likewise residential grade. For a 277V commercial lighting branch, confirm the device you pick carries the 277V rating explicitly - the TradeMaster family does on all configurations.
5) I need a three-way switch instead of a single-pole - what are my options besides the TradeMaster TM873?
The Pass & Seymour TradeMaster three-pole version is the TM873, offered in brown and white, and it carries the same 15A 120/277V rating as the single-pole TM870. On the Leviton side, the 5601-2 is a 3-way rocker AC quiet switch in residential grade. Both control a light from two locations; the TradeMaster also extends to a 4-pole TM874 if the circuit needs a fourth switching point.
6) Is the TradeMaster switch legal to use as the disconnect for a kitchen garbage disposal?
The ON-OFF versions conform to NEC 430-104 requirements for kitchen disposal units, which is the code section covering a disconnecting means for that motor load. For that use order a single-pole TM870 in the color you need.
7) Do I need a special wall plate for the TradeMaster rocker switch?
Yes, it is a decorator (rocker) device, so it needs a decorator/screwless style plate with a rectangular opening, not a toggle plate. The paddle is a satin-finish rocker for quiet operation.
8) Will the TradeMaster fit in a shallow or crowded existing box?
It is built with a narrow back body specifically to leave more room for conductors in the box, which helps on retrofits into older boxes that are already full. The through-body extra-long strap also keeps the device from floating when the box or plaster ring sits slightly off.
9) What approvals does the TradeMaster switch carry for inspection?
The device is cULus Listed and compliant with CSA Standard C22.2 111, which covers it for both US and Canadian inspection on a 15A circuit.
10) I need switches for a federal job with Buy American requirements. Does Pass & Seymour TradeMaster have an option?
NAFTA-Compliant versions of the TradeMaster decorator switch are offered for projects subject to the Buy American Act. Note that the standard catalog devices list China as country of origin, so specify the NAFTA-Compliant option when the contract requires it.
11) We standardize on ivory and light almond devices across our buildings - which rocker switch line covers both?
The Pass & Seymour TradeMaster decorator rocker family ships in seven finishes - black, brown, dark bronze, gray, ivory, light almond, and white - with ivory available in both single-pole (TM870-I) and 4-pole (TM874-I) and light almond in the 4-pole TM874-LA. The Leviton comparables are narrower on color: the 1754-I is the ivory Decora duplex rocker. If a portfolio needs one family matched across ivory and light almond openings, the TradeMaster range covers both finishes at the same 15A 120/277V rating.
12) Is a Leviton 1754-I Decora duplex rocker switch the same thing as a TradeMaster TM870?
No. The Leviton 1754-I is a Decora duplex rocker switch, meaning two switching mechanisms in one device, and it is sold in a pack of 100. The Pass & Seymour TM870 is a single-pole decorator rocker - one rocker controlling one circuit, rated 15A at 120/277V. If the box has two separate loads to control from a single gang, the duplex device is the one to look at; for one load, the TM870 is the direct fit.
13) Is the TradeMaster switch body tough enough for a high-traffic multifamily or hospitality corridor?
The body is high-impact resistant thermoplastic, specified for demanding residential and commercial applications, and the mounting strap runs through the body so the device stays rigid in the box over repeated use. For a property manager standardizing a building, the same 15A, 120/277V rating runs across every color and pole count, so one spec covers the whole fleet.
