Pass & Seymour TM873-BK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pass & Seymour TM873 work for controlling one light from two switch locations?
That is exactly what it's for. The TM873 is a 3-way switch, so it pairs with a second 3-way device to control the same lighting load from two separate locations, which is the usual arrangement for hallways, stairwells and rooms with two entries. If you only need control from one spot, a 3-way is the wrong device and you want a single pole switch instead.
2) Is the Pass & Seymour TM873 acceptable on a federal or government job with Buy American requirements?
The TM873 is manufactured in the United States and the product data states Buy American Act compliance, which is what procurement on federal, education and institutional work typically asks for. It is also UL Listed and built to CSA C22.2 111 for Canadian work.
3) For a 277V commercial lighting circuit, which rocker switch should I spec?
The Pass & Seymour TM873 carries a 120/277V, 15A rating, which covers 277V commercial branch lighting as well as standard 120V residential circuits, and it is UL Listed to CSA C22.2 111. Among the Leviton rockers, the Decora rocker AC quiet switch is also rated 120/277V 15A but is a residential grade device. Where the drawing calls for a 277V device in a commercial corridor or stairwell switched from two ends, the TM873's 3-way configuration at that voltage is the direct fit.
4) What is the closest Leviton equivalent to the Pass & Seymour TM873 3-way decorator switch?
The Leviton 5601-2 is the nearest match in the Leviton line: it is a 3-way rocker AC quiet switch, the same 3-way configuration the TM873 uses. The TM873 is a decorator rocker switch rated 15A at 120/277V and is made in the United States. The Leviton 5601-2 is a residential grade device, so for commercial or institutional switching where you are standardizing on a 277V-rated device, confirm the grade suits the application before swapping.
5) Is the Leviton 1754-I a substitute for the TM873 in a three-way circuit?
No. The Leviton 1754-I is a Decora duplex rocker switch sold in a pack of 100 - a duplex device puts two switching paddles in one strap to control two separate loads from one box. The TM873 is a single 3-way decorator rocker, which controls one load from either of two locations. The two solve different problems: use the duplex when you need two circuits switched at one spot, and the TM873 when you need one circuit switched at two spots.
6) Does the TM873 have a ground screw?
It does. The TradeMaster TM873 includes a grounding terminal, so you can bond the device to the branch circuit equipment ground as required for a code-compliant install. That matters on metal box retrofits and anywhere an inspector expects the device itself grounded.
7) What wallplate do I need for the TM873 switch?
A standard decorator (Decora-style) opening wallplate. The TM873 is a flat-paddle decorator rocker, not a toggle, so a toggle plate will not fit it. Pick the plate color to match the device, which comes in Black and Ivory.
8) Will the TM873 fit in a standard single-gang device box?
The device measures 1.43 x 4.19 x 1.27 inches (width, height, depth), which is standard decorator switch geometry for a single-gang box. Depth is the number to watch on shallow retrofit boxes packed with conductors, at 1.27 inches behind the strap.
9) Which part number do I order for the black TM873 versus the ivory?
Black is TM873-BK and ivory is TM873-I. Both are the same 15A, 120/277V 3-way decorator switch, so the only difference is the color of the paddle. The finish is matte on both.
10) How does the TM873 compare to the Leviton 5601-2 3-way rocker switch?
Both are 3-way rocker switches, but the Leviton 5601-2 is catalogued as residential grade. The TM873 is a TradeMaster device rated 120/277V, which is what lets it go on commercial 277V lighting circuits as well as 120V residential ones. If the job is strictly 120V residential, the Leviton is a straight functional substitute for the 3-way.
11) If the light is only controlled from one location, is there a simpler switch than the TM873?
Yes. The TM873 is a 3-way device, which you only need when the same fixture is switched from two locations. For a single switch point, a single-pole decorator rocker such as the Leviton 1-pole Decora rocker AC quiet switch, rated 15A, does the job with a two-terminal plus ground hookup instead of the traveler wiring a 3-way requires. It is a residential grade device, so match the grade to the circuit and the traffic in the space.
12) Will a Leviton Decora rocker switch look the same on the wall as the Pass & Seymour TM873?
Both are flat-paddle rocker switches that take a standard decorator wallplate, so the opening in the plate is the same. The TM873 is a decorator rocker in the TradeMaster series with a matte finish, measuring 1.43 in wide by 4.19 in high by 1.27 in deep, and comes in Black or Ivory. Leviton's comparable paddle devices are in the Decora series, such as the 1754-I. Paddle shape, gloss level, and the exact ivory tone differ between the two manufacturers' lines, so for a wall of ganged devices in one room it is worth keeping all positions on one brand.
13) I need a Buy American compliant rocker switch - does the Leviton line qualify?
The Pass & Seymour TM873 is manufactured in the United States, which is what a Buy American Act requirement on a government, healthcare, or education project turns on. Country of origin is not something the comparable Leviton rockers - the 5601-2 3-way, the 1-pole Decora, and the Decora 120/277V 15A - are specified on, so for a domestic-preference spec the TM873 is the one to put on the submittal and it is available in Black and Ivory.
14) Can I mix the TM873 with ivory decorator devices already installed in a building?
Yes, for standardizing a fleet of openings. The TM873-I ivory version carries the same decorator paddle profile and matte finish as other decorator-style devices, so it drops into an existing ivory layout and sits behind the same decorator plates. Black is also available if the building standard is black.
