How to Wire a Standard 3-Way Rocker Switch
The plate for this device is T9603 1-Gang Decorator Receptacle Wallplate. Order the plate with the device so the opening, the face and the finish arrive on the same delivery — and confirm the wall box depth on any combination or fast-charge model before installation day.

TM-5 — answered
How many devices does a 3-way circuit need?
Two. A 3-way switch is a single device, not a pair: one at each end of the run, with the traveller conductors between them and the common terminal identified at both ends. A one-line order for a stairwell comes back short, which is the single most common ordering error on this line.
Which wall plate does this rocker face need?
A decorator-style rectangular opening — T9603 1-Gang Decorator Receptacle Wallplate. It is not the same plate as a toggle switch, and on this line the plate is a separate line item rather than something included with the device.
Is the wall plate included with the switch?
No. Every model in this switch line is published without a plate, so the plate is ordered separately: decorator opening for the rocker faces, standard toggle opening for the toggle faces, and the matching gang configuration for the combination switches.
Can these switches dim, schedule or connect to an app?
No. They are mechanical switches, and dimming, smart control, timer control and wet-location applications are excluded from the published application data for this line. Those are different listed devices — tell us the load and we will point you at what actually does it rather than stretch this line over it.
What do you need to quote a switching schedule?
The plan with the control locations marked, the colour and the plate type per room. We return the switch list by control layout, the plate cross-reference for each face, and the count — including the pairs a 3-way circuit actually needs.
Answers above are specific to TM-5; the model list, quantities and project type is what we need to quote it back in one business day.
