Hello all,
I have a question about a single pole single throw switch. On a "normal" Leviton 15 amp switch there are "secondary" attachments for power on the back via a "push in port" (for lack of a better term). So the line side has both screw terminals and this additional port (I presume to do what I want to do - bring one power line feed into a box to power 3 separately switched circuits). The problem is that the push in port only accepts 14 gauge wire and I have 12 gauge wire as this is a 20 amp circuit. Ok so I buy a 20 amp switch - no "secondary" power attachment. Why is this? Is this standard or are their 20 amp switches that mimic their 15 amp cousins so that I can run non switched power between multiple 20 amp switches in a box?
TIA
