Single-Pole 20 A Light Switch

The Hubbell HBL1221L is a single-pole wall switch rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC. It uses a black locking toggle and screw terminals that accept 14 to 10 AWG wire. The body is impact resistant and carries a UL listing for commercial and residential wiring.

Installers needing a 20 A locking toggle

Electricians who need a maintained-contact switch with a straight-key locking toggle will find this unit suitable. It is not for circuits requiring three-way or four-way control, and it does not serve dimming or fan-speed applications. Buyers wanting a standard non-locking paddle or a different amperage should select another model.

1 hp motor load rating

The switch carries a 1 hp rating at the listed voltages, which determines whether it can directly control a motor load such as a fractional-horsepower fan or pump. Verify the connected motor nameplate against this rating before installation.

Questions about this item

What box depth does the HBL1221L require for its back-and-side wiring?

The switch accepts back and side wiring with screw terminals for conductors from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG, so a standard deep box gives enough room for the larger gauge wires and the locking toggle mechanism.

Which step do installers most often miss when wiring the HBL1221L?

They forget to torque the screw terminals after inserting the stripped 14-10 AWG conductors, leaving a loose connection that can overheat on a 20 A circuit.

When should the HBL1221L be replaced instead of just re-tightening terminals?

Replace the switch if the locking toggle no longer stays positively engaged in either position, if the impact-resistant body shows cracking, or if the screw terminals exhibit pitting that prevents a solid 20 A connection.
