Ecm Industries Llc GSW-31 Pull Chain Switch 6A 125V

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC GSW-31 is a nickel plated pull chain switch rated for single pole single throw (SPST) on/off operation. It carries a 6A rating at 125 volts, making it a practical replacement or new-installation component in lighting circuits, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and similar low-voltage residential or light commercial fixture applications. The switch ships with 6-inch wire leads pre-attached, reducing prep time during installation. Its recommended mounting hole accommodates a 1/2-inch diameter opening, which aligns with standard fixture knock-outs and canopy hardware found in common electrical fixtures.

This switch is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where a simple manual on/off pull chain is required. Typical applications include attic and garage light fixtures, ceiling fan light kits, utility lighting, and exhaust fan assemblies. Electricians and fixture installers routinely use this style of switch as a direct replacement when the original pull chain mechanism fails or when building a new fixture assembly that requires a manually actuated on/off control. The carded packaging is oriented toward counter or shelf point-of-sale environments as well as service van stock.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always shut off power at the breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before handling wire leads or removing the existing switch. Secure the switch body through the mounting hole using the appropriate hardware before making wire connections. Do not exceed the 6A/125V rating of this switch.
