Lever Edge™ Streamlines Industrial Wiring

As a trusted advisor to your contractors and installers, you know the faster the job gets finished, the sooner they can move on to the next project, translating to higher profits for contractors and distributors.

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 extra steps or exposed metal parts.

Product Manager, Dary Ismail explained, “Lever Edge industrial devices are incredibly user-friendly and offer a robust electrical connection while making the assembly process much easier, faster, and safer. There is no risk of a screwdriver nicking a finger when tightening down screws, the new devices prevent that entirely. With Lever Edge, they open the device with their finger, insert the wire and close the lever.”

Lever Edge Solves Your Wiring Problems

Contractors and installers love Lever Edge because the products add speed to their installation, therefore increasing the 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 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 a big uptick in use of the industrial Lever Edge Black & White products in data centers, especially the 30-amp devices. Aside from that, more traditional uses are factories, manufacturing facilities, and we see them used in the entertainment industry.” explained Dary Ismail. We currently offer them in our most popular configurations for both straight and locking variations.”
