Wiring Device Selection Guide

Wiring devices are small parts that get used thousands of times, so grade and rating matter more than the low price on a contractor pack. They live in the Controls and Devices family next to Motion Sensors and Photocells. For the enclosures and boxes they mount into, see Electrical Boxes and Weatherproof Boxes.

Match the Device Grade to the Job

Grade sets the durability and the price. Match the grade to how hard the device will be used.

Grade, Rating, and Compatibility

Residential grade suits low cycle home use, spec grade steps up durability, and commercial and hospital grades handle high cycle and demanding environments. For dimming, match the dimmer to the fixture driver: a 0 to 10V dimmer for 0 to 10V drivers, and a compatible phase dimmer for line voltage LED loads, since the wrong pairing causes flicker. GFCI protection is required on many wet and outdoor circuits.

Finishes, Mounting, and Codes

Devices come in standard colors and finishes with matching wall plates for a clean install. Mount them in the correct box depth and fill, and use tamper resistant and weather resistant versions where code requires. For outdoor and damp locations, pair the device with a weatherproof box and an in use cover, and for lighting control see Motion Sensors and Photocells.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wiring Devices

Wiring devices are the switches, receptacles, dimmers, and protective devices like GFCI and AFCI that connect people and equipment to an electrical circuit. They are the points where a circuit is controlled or tapped.

Residential grade suits low cycle home use, spec grade adds durability, and commercial and hospital grades handle high cycle and demanding environments. Match the grade to how hard and how often the device will be used.

Match the dimmer to the fixture driver. Use a 0 to 10V dimmer for 0 to 10V drivers, and a compatible phase dimmer for line voltage LED loads. The wrong pairing causes flicker or limited dimming range.

Code requires GFCI protection on many wet and outdoor circuits, such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and exterior receptacles. Confirm the current requirements with your local code.

A tamper resistant receptacle has internal shutters that block foreign objects, and it is required by code in many occupied spaces, especially where children are present. Use it where your code calls for it.

Yes. Outdoor and damp location devices need weather resistant versions and a weatherproof box with the correct cover, including an in use cover for receptacles that stay plugged in.
