Leviton Mfg Co C20-10097-000 Pull Chain Switch 3A 125V

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO C20-10097-000 is a single-pole, compact pull chain switch designed for light fixture and fan control applications. It ships with a 4-inch ball chain, 3 feet of white cord, and 6-inch leads pre-attached for direct wiring. The switch is rated at 3A/125V for standard resistive loads and also carries 1A/125V and 1A/250V ratings for inductive or higher-voltage loads. Constructed for No. 18 AWG wire, it is UL listed, making it suitable for use in code-compliant residential and light commercial installations. Electricians and maintenance technicians typically install this switch as an OEM-style replacement or new installation in ceiling fixtures and similar applications.

This pull chain switch is well suited for residential and light commercial settings where a wall switch is impractical or absent. Common applications include pendant light fixtures, ceiling-mounted shop lights, attic or basement lighting, and utility fans. The 4-inch ball chain provides a tactile, easy-to-locate pull mechanism, while the 3-foot white cord extension makes the switch accessible in installations with high mounting points. Package quantity is 5 units, making it practical for multi-fixture jobs or service van stocking.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and confirm power is off with a non-contact voltage tester before handling wiring or removing an existing switch. Secure all wire connections and ensure the switch housing is properly enclosed within the fixture before restoring power. Do not exceed the rated amperage or voltage for the intended load type.
