3-Way, Combination 3 Light Switch
Hello,
I am currently trying to replace light switches that are quite old. The one I am stuck on is I have a 3-way combination 3 switch light switch that I'm stuck on. The older version had 9 wire spots. I cannot find a 3 way combination 3 switch to purchase so was wondering if there was anyway to use a regular combination 3 switch or anything that I could do? Thanks |

Yes that is the one that I am trying to switch to, the old one had 3 different lights it was working for, one was only in the one location and the other 2 you could turn on and off in two different locations. Does that make sense? So 2 spots that were working 3 way and one working just in the one place.

Then it sounds like this switch:
Westside Wholesale, Inc. - Leviton Decora Combination Double Switch, One 3-Way and One Single-Pole - White Start with the single pole connections, hot to one side(side with the jumper), and the light that is switched from 1 location goes to the other side. On the half of the switch with 3 terminals, the 2 travellers go to same colored screws. You will notice a jumper tha connects top and bottom half of switch. If this end of the 3 way is the "constant hot" end, leave the jumper, if this is the "switched end", then the jumper needs to be broke off, and connect the wire that goes to the lights controlled from 2 locations to the common of the three way. |

I need one just like that but instead of only one 3-way outlet I need 2 and the one regular one like that. This is an upstairs light switch- the 2-way is for a closet and the two 3-ways are for hallway lights on each side of the switch. Do you know of anywhere that sells that kind of switch?

I may know of 1 supplier, try to find tomorrow. If this is a 1900 Box, with a single gang mudring, you may be able to carefully replace with double gang for 2 devices.
If the closet is on the other side of the switches, you may be able to put closet switch on the inside of closet, should this triple switch not be found. |
