I am trying to wire up a three way circuit. Three positions each controlling two lights.
I have searched for a two-gang intermediate switch with no success. The posts on this site seem to all refer to single gang three way switching.
Can anyone help? Is a two-gang intermediate switch required or is there something else I need to do?
Thanks for your help

hmm i get the feeling only one of the gangs of that switch is an intermediate.

this probablly isn't a fatal problem (as you only need one intermediate in each three way cuircuit) but it could complicate your wiring a bit.

To add a third switch, you need an intermediate switch which is basically a 4 terminal switch that is inserted between the two wires linking the 2 way switches to swap the circuits over.
