George Risk Industries Inc. 40RS-12-G Recessed Contact Switch Set

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. 40RS-12-G is a recessed contact switch set designed for press-fit installation in door and window frames. The short 3/8 inch body profile suits applications where housing depth is limited. This type of recessed magnetic contact is commonly installed in security, access control, and alarm system circuits. Electricians and low-voltage security technicians install these components as part of perimeter protection systems in residential and light commercial construction.

The 40RS-12-G fits into press-fit bored holes in door frames, window frames, or similar millwork. The short body length makes it a practical choice where standard-depth recessed contacts would not seat properly due to frame thickness constraints. This switch set is typically used in new construction and retrofit alarm installations where a concealed, flush-mount contact point is required.

Key Features

• Short 3/8 inch press-fit body for shallow frame applications
• Recessed design provides a concealed, flush-mount installation
• Sold as a complete switch set (quantity 1 per unit)
• Suitable for door and window perimeter contact applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed contact switch set for use in security and alarm system perimeter installations requiring a 3/8 inch short press-fit housing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage security technicians. Power down or de-energize the alarm circuit before installing or replacing contacts. A drill with the appropriate bit size is required to bore the press-fit hole to the correct diameter for proper seating. Follow applicable local electrical codes and security system manufacturer wiring guidelines during installation.
