Industrial 2-Pole Toggle Switch
This Hubbell HBL1386L is a 20 A, 120-277 V AC locking toggle switch designed for industrial environments. Its maintained three-position action with a centre-off setting allows positive control of two separate circuits from a single device. The black thermoplastic body meets UL20 standards for safety and durability.
Back and Side Wiring Flexibility
The switch accepts both back-wired and side-wired connections, giving installers routing options inside standard boxes. A key-operated locking mechanism prevents unauthorised operation, while the maintained contacts hold position without spring return. Rated for 1 HP motor loads, it suits lighting and small-motor circuits alike.
Suits Industrial Maintenance Teams
Electricians specifying UL-listed devices for factories, warehouses or commercial sites will find the locking toggle and centre-off function match typical panel requirements. Installers needing momentary action, antimicrobial surfaces or a different pole count should select an alternative switch type.

Questions about this item
Will the 20 A rating hold up when the switch controls a motor load all day?
The switch is rated for 1 HP at 120–277 V AC, so the 20 A rating covers sustained motor operation within that horsepower limit.
Does the locking toggle run hotter or draw extra power compared with a standard toggle?
The locking mechanism is mechanical only; it adds no electrical resistance, so heat and power draw stay the same as a non-locking 20 A switch.
What wiring method must the installer use for the back and side terminals?
Both back-wiring and side-wiring are accepted; use solid or stranded copper conductors sized for 20 A circuits.
