George Risk Industries Inc. 413PWG-G Dpdt Wide Gap Switch

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. 413PWG-G is a surface-mount, double-pole double-throw (DPDT) magnetic contact switch with a wide-gap design, finished in gray. Surface-mount contact switches are installed directly on a door, window, or access panel frame without recessing into the structure, making installation straightforward on metal or wood surfaces. The DPDT configuration provides two independent switching circuits in a single unit, supporting both normally open and normally closed wiring simultaneously. The wide-gap actuating distance allows reliable triggering even where alignment between the switch and magnet may vary slightly, reducing nuisance faults in the field.

This switch is suited for security, access control, and monitoring applications in residential and light commercial settings. Typical installations include HVAC equipment access panels, electrical enclosure doors, and building entry points where door or panel position must be monitored. The gray finish blends with standard gray electrical enclosures and surface conduit hardware. Electricians and security system technicians are the primary installers for this type of device.

Key Features

• Double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switching supports normally open and normally closed circuits simultaneously
• Wide-gap design tolerates greater misalignment between switch body and actuating magnet
• Surface-mount profile installs directly on frame or panel without routing or recessing
• Gray finish compatible with standard electrical enclosures and surface-mount conduit hardware
• Sold individually (quantity per unit: 1)

Compatibility

Designed as a surface-mount contact switch for use in security, access control, and equipment monitoring applications where a DPDT wide-gap switch is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or security systems technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the installation area before making wiring connections. Mount the switch body to the stationary frame and position the actuating magnet on the moving door or panel, ensuring the gap between the two components falls within the specified actuation range. Verify normally open and normally closed circuit continuity with a multimeter before restoring power.
