Push-Pull Switches

1. What is the preferred mounting for a Momentary Push-Pull Switch?

   They are best mounted on a vertical (or close to vertical) panel. Avoid mounting them on an exposed panel that is more horizontal than vertical.

2. Can I have a different knob on my Push-Pull Switch?

   Sure. We have chromium-plated solid brass knobs in a variety of styles, or plastic knobs. Our plastic knobs all have a metal core that provides a solid connection to the spindle of the switch. You will need to consider shaft size, threads (if any) and symbol or text. See Master Catalog D-275, Section S for knob selection.

    

3. I need to control one load from two different locations with a Push-Pull Switch.

   Use our M-630 Push-Pull Switch. It's an On-On switch. Install one in each location and wire them to control the Off-On function of a single load.

4. I need to mount an SPST Push-Pull switch so that the knob side of the switch will be exposed to the weather.

   Try not to mount it so that it will be exposed to the full force of nature. If it has be exposed to the elements then the preferred mounting is on a vertical panel, rather than being mounted at an angle to the weather. A switch such as our 50066 would be a good choice because it has an o-ring in the mounting stem that gives an added protection against the inclemency of the weather.
