Outdoor lighting, pumps and signs on 120 V circuits need a simple timer that shrugs off weather and power blips. The Intermatic T101P3 is a 24-hour mechanical time switch with a 120 VAC SPST mechanism in a beige Type 3R plastic enclosure that will not corrode. Electricians and pool installers use it wherever a proven dial timer beats programming a digital unit.
Why electricians pick it
- Switches loads up to 40 A on 120 V circuits.
- Up to 12 ON/OFF operations per day using dial trippers, with a 1-hour minimum ON/OFF time.
- Non-corroding Type 3R plastic enclosure for outdoor mounting.
- Teeter-type terminals make multiple load connections easier.
- Manual override lever for service without changing the settings.

Pro tip from the counter
The T101P3 has a 120 V clock motor and a single-pole contact, so it is for 120 V loads only. A 240 V pool pump has two hot legs and needs a double-pole timer such as Intermatic's T104 series; putting a T101 on it leaves one leg live even when the pump is off.
Best for: 120 V outdoor and landscape lighting, 120 V pool and fountain pumps, signs and display lighting, electricians needing a weatherproof dial timer
