Ecm Industries Llc GSW-39 3 Speed Pull Chain Switch

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC GSW-39 is a brass-plated pull chain switch designed for variable speed fan control in residential lighting and ventilation fixtures. Rated at 6 amps and 125 volts AC with a double-pole, 3-throw (DP3T) configuration, it provides four switching positions: Off, On A, On B, and On A+B. This switching logic supports multi-speed fan motor control by selectively engaging one or both motor windings. The switch ships with 6-inch wire lead connections for straightforward in-fixture wiring. It is typically installed by electricians or HVAC technicians performing ceiling fan, exhaust fan, or light kit repairs.

The GSW-39 is suited for residential ceiling fans, bathroom exhaust fans, and similar single-phase 125-volt AC motor applications requiring a 3-speed pull chain control. The recommended mounting hole diameter is 13/32 inches, which is a standard dimension for most consumer and light commercial fan housings. Wire lead length of 6 inches provides adequate slack for connection inside a standard fan canopy or fixture housing. Package quantity is 5 units per pack, making it practical for service contractors stocking replacement hardware.
