Explain in more detail what you mean. What is between: the switch or the light? What are you trying to accomplish with this setup? The term 3-way switch means 2 switches controlling one or more lights. If you have 2 lights and one switch then you need a standard 75 cent switch. Generally with 3-way switches, there are 3 wires not including the ground, black, white and red. some houses attach the white to the switch, some attach the black. Generally the white will feed through the box not attaching to anything but another white wire. The black will attach to the upper and lower screws on one side of the switch while the red attaches to the opposite side. The red goes to the other switch and black goes to the light fixture(s).
For starters, a four way switch must be connected to either a four way switch or a three way switch on either side. Said differently, here are some common combinations: 3way---------4way-----------3way 3way---------4way-----------4way------------3way 3way---------4way-----------4way------------4way----------------3way etc. If you are using a four way switch anywhere in a circuit both ends must have three way switches. You can use as few as one four way between the three ways, or as many as you would like. First of all, connect your white (neutral) wire straight through every box, from the power source to the light fixture being controlled. That neutral has nothing to do with the switches. On your three way switches you will see two bright screws and one dark. (Excluding the green grounding screw). One three way switch will have its dark screw connected to the power source. Two wires will run from the bright screws to the next box (the 4 way switch box). Those two wires will connect to the two bright screws on one side of the four way. The four way also has dark screws, but two of them. Connect two wires to these two dark screws, and run them to the next switch box. If the next switch box is another 4 way, repeat this again and again until you get to the last switch (a three way). Wire the last three way as follows: the two wires coming from the previous 4 way go to the bright screws. The hot wire feeding the light fixture will be the one to connect to the single dark terminal of the last 3 way switch. That's it! As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
That is called a 4 way light switch circuit. On each end of the circuit you install a 3way switch and in the middle you install a 4 way switch.Answer using British TerminologyIn the UK, 'three-way' switches are called 'two-way' switches (more logical, if you think about it!), and the 'four-way' switch is called an 'intermediate' switch.
It can be done but it requires knowledge about how a 3way is wired to convert it to a regular switch. It would involve testing live wires to determine where power starts at. You can't just replace one switch.
The two way switches work in pairs. We find most of them in our houses where the light bulb can be operated by two switches each at the far end to the other. Each switch consists of three terminals two of which are connected. When one switch is open and the other is closed then the bulb glows and viceversa
In some cases in residential wiring you do. From a light fixture junction box to a switch box, the cable is a two wire, black and white. To connect the switch into the circuit at the fixture box, the "hot" conductor is connected to the white wire that goes down to the switch. The switched "hot" comes back on the black wire and this is then connected to the fixtures black wire. The white (neutral) is picked up in the fixtures junction box and connected to the fixtures white wire.
we use 2-3way switch and 1-4way switch
you will need 2-3way switch and 2-4way switch
A triplex outlet. It is a simple device unless one or more of these switches are "3way" switches.

You insulate the 3way valve for the FCU to control temperatures. If the valve is left uninsulated, the contents will either lose or gain temperature depending out external conditions.
