Ecm Industries Llc GSW-18 Toggle Switch Single Pole 8A 125V

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC GSW-18 is a medium duty single-pole toggle switch rated for on/off switching in light-duty electrical control applications. It carries a rating of 8 amps at 125 volts and handles up to 1/3 horsepower, making it suitable for small motor and general-purpose switching tasks. The switch ships with 18-gauge leads measuring 6 inches in length, pre-attached for straightforward wiring. It mounts through a standard 1/2-inch diameter hole. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians routinely install this type of switch in control panels, equipment enclosures, and service access points where a simple on/off toggle is required.

This toggle switch is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where a compact, single-pole on/off control is needed. Typical installation scenarios include pump control panels, small motor circuits, ventilation equipment, and general-purpose enclosure switching. The 6-inch leads provide enough reach to connect to terminal strips or wire nuts without additional extensions in most standard enclosure configurations. The switch is sold as an individual unit and arrives carded for easy handling at the point of installation.
