Plug-in switch tap for household appliances
The Leviton 1470-W is a 15 A 125 V AC grounded switch tap that plugs into any duplex outlet. Its on/off button cuts standby power for lamps, appliances, electronics and holiday lights. The white plastic housing accepts two units side by side in a standard receptacle. Indoor use only.
Thermals noise and power draw
Rated at 15 A and 125 V AC, the device draws only the load of the connected equipment up to 1,470 W. No fan or active cooling is present, so operation is silent. The ANSI C-73 certified construction maintains safe temperatures during normal household duty cycles.
Behaviour under sustained load
The switch tap sustains its full 15 A rating continuously as long as the plugged-in load remains within limits. Contacts stay stable during extended runs such as seasonal lighting or appliance cycling. The mechanical button retains positive on/off action after repeated daily use.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Leviton 1470-W switch tap into a standard duplex outlet without blocking the second socket?
Plug the unit directly into one receptacle of a 125 V AC duplex outlet; its compact plug-in design leaves the adjacent receptacle free for a second tap or another device.
What ongoing maintenance does the 1470-W require after installation?
No scheduled maintenance is needed; inspect the plastic housing and prongs periodically for cracks or discoloration and replace the tap if any damage appears.
At what load does the 15 A rating become the limiting factor during continuous use?
The 15 A / 125 V AC rating is the first limit reached; sustained current above 15 amps will exceed the switch tap’s capacity.
