Leviton 3032-2I: High-Quality, Heavy-Duty Ivory Double-Pole AC Switch - 30A, 120/277V, Self Grounding, Back & Side Wired Review

I used these as a safety measure to switch the power to tankless water heaters and they work fine for that but are expensive.

I wasn't sure if it was for switching motors but the back of the switch says it can be used for motors. I think it said 2HP max.

The Leviton 30A 220V Switch is just what I needed as the power switch on my two electric water heaters. We've been using it for a few months with no problems.

Unfortunately it arrived without one of the screws. I've tried to attach it, but there's no way the screw can catch on the nut that comes with it. Nice looking, well made device.

My HVAC unit switch went off. I was told I needed a more powerful switch so I bought this and it seems to have helped. Thank goodness it was easy to fix my air conditioning and heating not working when the temperature got extreme.

After I replaced my [do it yourself installation] water heater, a licensed plumber informed me that the code now reads a switch next to the water heater requires. This switch met that requirement (IMO). If you plan to do something yourself, just read the code that defines "next to the water heater". I can not answer that.

I bought this specifically to provide a simple switch for some 220v tools and other things in my workshop. I installed one to wire my fountain pump in my building that is remotely connected to the fountain house. I almost never have to turn it off, but I wanted to be able to use it during hibernation or maintenance. once. This switch feels well made and durable. Easy installation and works well.

I installed this on my solar water heater to turn ON/OFF EVERY PIN of the 240 volt backup circuit, a function it performs as expected. (I live in Arizona, where so much heat builds up during the day that a seasonal backup is rarely needed, so having it toggleable is handy.) Whoever said it was a three-position switch most likely has the wrong one item delivered. It should be added that turning the water heater backup element on or off is not a big deal for the switch as due to its intermittent,

Loosening the screws too much will break the switch. From the factory they are completely open. Even if they seem stuck, shake or wiggle them, but don't loosen the bolts or the nut will fall off. The switch housing is riveted and glued, the nut for tightening is not accessible. It spins 360° when free and has an offset bore that makes retuning a nightmare; I found it impossible. This is the only way the switch can be wired. Aside from this glaring flaw, the switch looks well made. It's durable…
