Toggle Switch · 15A 120V AC · Single-Pole CO/ALR Ivory · Cooper Wiring Devices 5221-7V

What this product is for

This is a single-pole 15A 120V AC wall toggle switch for controlling one lighting or load point from one location. It is rated for CO/ALR applications, making it suitable where the branch wiring may be copper or solid aluminium.

Use for

Use for residential and light commercial switch replacement, renovation work, and new installations where an ivory device is required. Suitable for standard 120V lighting circuits and other compatible 15A branch-circuit switching duties.

Avoid for

Avoid using where a 3-way or 4-way switching function is required, where dimming is needed, or where the circuit voltage and load exceed the device rating. Do not use as a substitute for a specialty motor controller or disconnect unless the application and code requirements allow it.

Best for

Best for electricians replacing older CO/ALR-compatible wall switches, especially in homes or buildings with aluminium branch wiring. Also a practical choice when matching existing ivory wiring devices.

Installed in

Typically installed in standard wall boxes in houses, apartments, offices, and light commercial spaces. Fits flush wall-switch applications using side-wire screw terminals.

Why this product exists

This switch exists to provide a standard single-pole control device that can be used on CO/ALR branch circuits without changing to a non-compatible switch type. For electricians, that matters when replacing failed devices on older aluminium-wired circuits while maintaining proper device compatibility.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a standard CU-only toggle switch, this CO/ALR model is intended for use with copper or solid aluminium conductors where permitted. Compared with decorator switches, it keeps the traditional toggle format and is often chosen to match existing devices. As typical branch-circuit guidance, 15A switches are commonly used on 15A lighting circuits; actual circuit suitability depends on conductor size, load, and local electrical code.
