Questions and Answers for Leviton Decora 15 Amp Tamper Resistant Combo Switch and Outlet, White

A:  It can be wired to control outlet power or be independent.

A:  They are independent.

A:  Yes, the outlet is ALWAYS ON, which is great as you can separately control whatever device, light, appliance with the switch

A:  Hi, the oulet can be always on, if you decide to have in tha way, or can be controlled by the switch. I want to have both in different circuits so I cut the connection between the 2 of them.

A:  Yes it can set up to operate in this way.

A:  You wire it the same as you would if there were a separate switch and outlet in the same box. This assumes that the hot wire coming to your existing switch also has a neutral wire, ie the fixture the switch controls is power sourced from the switch, not the fixture.

A:  Some people might argue that the elegance and convenience of a rocking switch is greatly reduced when a plug is permanently plugged in right next to it, as one might expect from a refrigerator plug. There is, however, no question that one can plug in virtually anything in the outlet. The more interesting question is whether the switch can be used to turn power on and off to the outlet next to it (as you’re unlikely to want that with a refrigerator plugged in). There are wiring instructions that come with the switch/outlet combination which explain how you can have a permanently live outlet and a switch that controls lights (or some other circuit).

A:  Yes, normally all home refrigerators utilize a 15amp circuit. This has two separate circuits one for a light or fan switch and the other for an electrical outlet.

A:  The outlet is independent from the switch, therefore can work separately. If you wish the outlet to be controlled by the switch, then you need to wire from switch into the outlet. In parallel same switch can be wired (double wire) for the light.

A:  I believe so

A:  The product overview states "Outlet may be wired for switch control or constant power," and I believe what you want is to wire the outlet for switch control (rather than constant power). That seems like a Yes to your question to me. The instructions that came with this product were pretty clear. I personally wanted constant power for the outlet, and my recollection is that I was instructed to remove a small piece of copper along the side to make the outlet power constant and thus independent of the switch. You might be spared that trouble. I followed the instructions and can say that my installation went well.

A:  Yes. You can wire this just like you would a separate switch and socket/light combination.

A:  SURE

A:  Yes it could installed in th middle of a run....

A:  Yes, both works independently and only share the same neutral wire.

A:  Hi , Thank you for choosing Leviton. No, unless you run a constant hot feed to the next device in the run.

A:  This switch doesn't control the outlet as delivered. I guess you could.

A:  The red wire goes to the plug the black goes to the light switch the white goes on the opposite side to the light switch and plug then ground goes to the bottomon

A:  Sorry, but without having the wires in your box properly identified, I'm afraid I cannot provide specific wiring instructions outside of those included in the device's instructions. If you'd like additional technical support, please call 1-800-824-3005.

A:  Red wire = Power or Hot wire Black wire = Power or Hot wire White wire = Neutral Bare copper = Ground

A:  You can find an instruction sheet download here: http://communities.leviton.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/1933-102-1-2871/Ins%205625%205678%205225.pdf

A:  I put it in my sons bathroom. The only problem I had was with the mirror it was on. It was decent quality and easy enough to hook up.

A:  I don't believe so, no.

A:  The T5625 is a switch/outlet combination device that is rated for single pole applications only. Leviton does not offer a switch/outlet combo that is rated for 3-way applications.

A:  No

A:  No, the switch does not have the connections or switch configuration for 3 way.

A:  No, this is not a three way switch.

A:  Please contact Leviton’s technical support line at 1-800-824-3005 for wiring instructions.

A:  Depends on how you want it to behave. I have it wired so that the switch controls the outlet, which means I've wired both black & white to the left side of the outlet (as seen in the product photo). If you want the outlet live, and the switch hard-wired to a light (assuming you have wiring for both), hook the light to the top on each side (switch), and the outlet wires to the bottom on each side.

A:  Yes, put the black and white wires on the same side of the unit - on the black screens. The other side (where the screws are closer together) has the poles linked. Does not matter which screw the black wire goes on and which the white - as long as they are both on the black screws.

A:  There is no way I can answer this unless I know what you want to control with the switch. The standard use for this would be to have the outlet hot all the time, and have the switch control a light fixture. Doesn't sound like that is what you are trying to do here.

A:  Diagram should be included on the box

A:  The black (hot) wire goes to the top black screw terminal. The red (load) wire goes to the brass screw terminal. The white (neutral) wire goes to the silver screw terminal. The bare copper (ground) goes to the green screw terminal. The brass tab between the two black screws remains intact. The switch will control the load and the outlet will always have power. If you are unsure of these directions please contact Leviton’s technical support line at 1-800-824-3005.
