Can a two pole on off toggle switch be installed directly into the top of the wiring box cover (top drilled out for switch)?

I think it could. There is some room, but not a lot inside that box. The xtra wiring to do that will make packing the wireing difficult at best. I sired mine to an outside junction box.

Next to the on off switch, there is a hole of sorts on either side. A cord could be attached but it might interfere with the switch.

Yes, but you may have to bend some of the house electrical wires in the box to move them out of the way. The back side of this thing takes up more space than a regular toggle switch. Bending the wires out of the way did the trick for me. Just make sure the power is off to both switches when messing with the wires and it should be no problem.

Yes...it can be used as a single pole or as a 3-way switch. Someone with basic electrical skills can install.

yes, this would be the best way. A Dremel tool is the best way to do this. Most dashes can be removed away from the front panel far enough to route the wiring and connect to the switch. once this is done, it is fairly easy to wire the indicator to the switch. If you don`t have a Dremel tool kit, thenyou would have to drill 4 corner holes and hand saw with a Jigsaw or a Jigsaw blade and a pair of vise grips. Just make sure you can get to all of the wiring to hook it up. Once the hole is made, it is easy to mount it with the two screw holes and small metal screws.

Yes! You may have to cut off the connector and directly wire it. Always verify the pin that sticks down into it is tight and not shorter than normal. Do NOT over tighten the switch screws as this is often a life reducer for the switch body and can cause cracking of same.

The unit takes up the space of a standard switch. Go to any decent sized hardware store and you should be able to find a cover plate with the large rectangular hole in the middle and two standard slots for light switches on either side. If you can't the do make modular covers. You'd buy the section with the large rectangular hole and two "end sections" which have the smaller slots. They snap together and screw into place as usual

Does not need to be soldered. Can use wire nuts. There should only be two wires that attach to each wire on the switch. There may also be a ground wire

My switch went in with ease. I have a pole lamp with a large tube from the light to the bottom of the base, the switch was mounted near the top of lamp .

There are not poles/screws on this switch like a standard wall switch. The wires that come with it are in place of the poles so you will need to use wire nuts to install this switch. Since this is an electronic switch and not a mechanical switch the wires are required. Hope this helps.

Mine only came with two loose wires. Had to put an electric cord on it. I don't use a switch with it. As to installation, it depends on what you want to do with it.

If I am understanding your question correctly, I would say "no", it installs over a regular electrical box, similar to installing an overhead light fixture. Hope this helps answer your question.

Without modification yes.You should be able to sure them to the same switch pretty easy though

There is a removable cover on the electrical area, so it should be possible to hard wire it.

Mounting brackets come with the switch, not sure if you can get them separately.

There are 5 wires and a solid box behind the switch to hold the timing mechanism. It is possible, but would be a tight fit. It is a tight fit in a regular box with all the wires being pushed back in. You could almost make a case that it may fit easier as there is more room for the wires to splay out on either side of the switch in a 3 box. In the end, I have never tried it as our box is a single box.

You don't want this if you're only going to install one switch. You're better off installing the switch by itself. Get a nice Carling rocker switch and cut a single hole for it. More often than not you'll want another switch for something and that's where this kit comes in handy.
