Ecm Industries Llc GSW-14 Heavy Duty Toggle Switch 20A 125V

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC GSW-14 is a heavy-duty double pole single throw (DPST) toggle switch rated for 20 amps at 125 volts and 1.5 horsepower. It operates in a simple On/Off configuration and connects via screw terminals, making termination straightforward for electricians and experienced service technicians. The switch is designed for applications where a reliable, high-current manual disconnect is needed. It ships carded and is sold in packages of five units, making it practical for stocking a service van or parts room.

This toggle switch is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where a panel-mount or enclosure-mount On/Off switch is required. The recommended mounting hole diameter is 0.5 inches, which fits standard knockouts and drilled panel cutouts used in control panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings. Electricians and HVAC technicians commonly use DPST toggle switches like the GSW-14 in motor control circuits, fan applications, and general-purpose load switching.
