Schneider Electric 9001K68 Pushbutton Switch Guard

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC 9001K68 is an extended mushroom head pushbutton switch guard designed to protect KR5 2.25-inch mushroom head operators from accidental actuation or physical damage. Constructed from aluminum, this guard installs directly over the operator to provide a mechanical barrier without interfering with intentional use. It measures 3.2 inches in length, 2.3 inches in width, and 2.7 inches in height, and weighs approximately 0.2 pounds. Electricians and control panel technicians install this accessory in industrial and commercial control station applications where operator protection is required.

This guard is suited for use in industrial control panels, machine operator stations, and process control enclosures where mushroom head pushbutton operators are subject to inadvertent contact or environmental hazards. It is appropriate for both new panel builds and retrofit installations where OSHA or facility safety standards require guarded actuators on critical stop or start functions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified electrician or control panel technician. De-energize and lock out the control panel before beginning work, following NFPA 70E and applicable LOTO procedures. Confirm the operator type and body diameter match the guard specifications before installation. Do not force the guard onto incompatible operator styles, as improper fitment can obstruct operator function.
