                    Q:Can this be used for fireplace switch?

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  That depends on what the fire place requires, this is a line voltage 15 amp switch not meant for low voltage.

                    by|Mar 15, 2023

                      A:  Yes, if it is replacing or taking the place of a simple switch. This switch does not include relay but rather only closes (or makes the two wires touch) to complete the circuit.

                        Very nice
                        It looks so much better than the old switch. It was an easy installation.

                        Branding makes it look cheap!!!
                        Loved everything about the switches except the branding. Makes them look cheap! Color and size are great when paired with a midsize plate cover. We installed all Leviton outlets then moved on to the switches when I noticed the branding. Really bummed about it since everything else about them is great. Ended up going with switches (not as nice in color or size) from the other large home improvement store because the branding is a deal breaker for me. Will be returning.

                          Off white and has logo
                          These switches work perfectly fine however they have the Leviton logo at the bottom and that was the reason I didn’t buy lutron. Also, they’re slightly off white and do not match their own leviton screwless faceplate cover which is whiter. At first I tried the white lutron cover because it had the double sides and that was so different I couldn’t stand it and switched to the brand and it’s still not good. Pictured are both white leviton products. I would have returned if they weren’t installed.

                            These are easy to connect with the clamp-style under screws connections
                            Probably what I like most about these particular switches is the way they connect. There is a clamp under each screw that grips the wire without having to form a hook which can come loose during tightening. The back also has the insert holes for wire, but I seldom use it because there may be more than one wire going to each of the hot & neutral connections and anything larger than 18- or 20-gauge wire doesn't fit without a lot of effort. Additionally, you cannot connect stranded wire into the holes at the back successfully. Aside from the obvious more modern look, they work reliably and are silent in operation. They are also small in the back, so they fit into the J-box easily.

                            They have a decent feel to the switch, but it was irritating to see that the company puts its name on the bottom visible part of the switch. It's not easy to see in the picture unless you zoom in. Why would I want a company's name on my individual home features?

                            Good Value & Well Made
                            I replaced all my remaining non-automated, toggle-style switches with these inexpensive rocker-style from Leviton. That includes single pole, 3-way and one 4-way. All feature the same side screws that permit hooked or straight wiring to the screws. The straight option is great when there are two wires going to one screw for any reason. I don't use push-type connections although they are available. I just don't think there is enough metal-to-metal contact for good conductance. All these switches make a slight click when operated but nothing offensive in my opinion. You save a great deal by not going for the ultra-silent switches. The only question I have in my mind is why the ground wire is at the top of the switch when the Leviton logo is on the bottom and the switch is properly oriented for on/off operation. Traditionally, that screw is at the bottom from past experience. It is merely a matter of curiosity on my part not that it makes any difference electrically. Leviton duplex outlets do have the ground screw on the bottom when the ground is facing down. I wonder if Leviton has the line-terminal-up & load-terminal-down practice with this orientation in mind. Would like to see a Leviton person comment.

                            Easy update - love the look
                            Recently decided to change out all of the old style plugs and switches for Decora style and love the updated look. These are SUPER easy to install, especially using the quick wire push-in option, but there are plenty of videos online for guidance. Paired these with the screwless, snap-on wall plates to complete the sleek look.
