Lever Edge™ Streamlines Industrial Wiring
As electrical contractors, you know the faster the job is completed, the sooner your installers can move on to the next project, ultimately increasing profits for your company.
Faster, Safer, Smarter.
Gone are the days when installers need to go through the time-consuming strip, bend and tighten process. Lever Edge products change the industrial wiring game with a patented, color-coded lever-action design. Wires are easily inserted into the device and securely clamped. Few tools are required, and there are no unnecessary steps or exposed metal parts.
Product Manager, Dary Ismail explained, “Lever Edge industrial receptacles and switches increase safety because you are removing the risk of injury with a power drill or a screwdriver. When they are power drilling the screws in a traditional device, it is easy to nick a finger. With Lever Edge, they open the device with their finger, insert the wire and close the lever.”
Lever Edge Solves Your Wiring Problems
Contractors love Lever Edge because the products add speed to their installation, which increases ROI for each project while solving some traditional wiring complaints.
- Labor-intensive wiring: Installers save time with instantly secured wires. No need to bend and tighten wires to a screw conductor. Push, click, and you’re done!
- Shaky wire retention: Screw-terminal connections can loosen over time after being subjected to vibration. Lever Edge switches and receptacles show a 39% increase in retention results.
- Pull Retention: Lever Edge Black & White® plugs and connectors are built to withstand up to 50 pounds of pull force, which is 3.8x the UL requirements.
- Durability: Leviton’s Lever Edge products are built to last. The color-coded levers are tested in over 2,000 actuations. Their unique design ensures they won’t open and are Fed Spec, HB, or better flammability rated.
- Wide Range of Products: There is a full range of NEMA straight-blade and locking configurations in the Black and White Lever Edge devices.
Where Lever Edge is Needed
Leviton’s Industrial switches and receptacles and Black & White® Lever Edge products meet NEC requirements for heavy-duty use, and the color-coded lever terminals help prevent miswiring. Industrial and commercial spaces welcome the durable and heavy-duty construction.
“Along with pin and sleeve products, we are seeing growing usage of the industrial Lever Edge Black & White products in data centers, especially the 30-amp devices. Aside from that, more traditional uses are factories, production facilities, and we see them used in the entertainment industry.” explained Dary Ismail. “There are locking variations popular for pop-up fairs, farmer’s markets, and carnivals that can’t be pulled apart easily, you have to purposely unlock the device,” he explained.
