The Future of Wiring: Leviton’s New Lever Edge™ Wiring Devices
Lever Edge™ wiring devices for residential applications enable simple installations that save time, enhance reliability, and deliver superior performance
With their user-friendly, color-coded levers that lock into place with a simple and distinct click to ensure a secure connection, Leviton’s new Lever Edge™ wiring devices represent the future of wiring by offering a host of unique advantages that usher in a new day in fast and easy installations.
The following are just some of the standout features that make Leviton’s family of Lever Edge outlets, switches, GFCIs, and dimmers the new go-to choice for distributors and contractors:
- Color-coded levers enable contractors to quickly determine which wire to connect to each termination point, minimizing the risk of callbacks for miswiring errors or insecure connections
- Lever Edge's user friendly design features a familiar rocker switch and slide bar.
- Lever Edge wiring devices have no exposed metal parts and offer the industry’s first rapid screwless grounding. With no screwdriver or torque adjustment needed, Lever Edge makes wiring safer, easier, and up to three times faster than standard market products according to recent industry time studies.
- Lever Edge wiring devices are extremely durable, readily withstanding the force that UL requires when gripping/pulling wires and ensuring less chance of compromising the connection during an original installation or an upgrade application. The devices and wires are also reusable, avoiding the need to re-strip wires when opening the lever and pulling the device off.
- Because they accept multiple copper wire sizes, types, and gauges, Lever Edge wiring devices deliver ultimate flexibility in the field. They’re also compatible with any size wall plate thanks to their quick-release connectors on top, and their larger straps and easy-to-use, multi-gang cutouts help ensure a faster alignment, especially in applications involving uneven drywall. Their additional compatibility with existing wiring and the fact that they don’t require a neutral wire makes them ideal for installation in both newer and older homes.
- Lever Edge wiring devices promote superior dimming performance with LED bulbs and offer customizable settings that enhance installer and end user comfort and convenience, such as a setup button that easily adjusts the dimming range and enables fade effects.
- Lever Edge’s built-in pockets enable contractors to perform necessary voltage testing with the utmost safety.
“These and other features enable Leviton’s new Lever Edge products to set a bold new standard in the market for residential wiring devices,” shared Adam Hart, Leviton’s Senior Marketing Manager for Residential Products. “Lever Edge technology isn’t just a tweak of an existing method, but rather a completely new UL-approved termination method for wiring devices that was thoughtfully designed with installers in mind. We’re proud of our full line of Lever Edge standard outlets, standard switches, GFCI devices, and dimmers and will be adding more devices to the line soon.”
“Ultimately, Leviton’s new Lever Edge wiring devices for residential applications allow contractors to do more with less and enable distributors to proudly offer their customers one of the industry’s most groundbreaking, go-to new innovations,” Hart confirmed. “With their ‘Push. Click. Done.’ simplicity, Lever Edge devices save contractors time and money, help avoid mistakes and callbacks, and deliver the peace of mind and knowledge that the connections made are safe, reliable, and durable.”
