DiversiTech Bat Handle Switch Metal DPST ED455

The DiversiTech ED455 is a metal bat handle toggle switch configured as double pole single throw (DPST). It makes and breaks two circuit conductors simultaneously from one actuator, giving straightforward two-pole on-off control.

DPST is the standard choice for isolating a 240 volt single phase load, where both ungrounded conductors must be opened to fully de-energize the equipment. It is equally useful where two related circuits should always switch together, such as a motor and its associated control or indicator circuit, ensuring the two cannot be left in mismatched states.

The metal bat handle offers durability and a firm, positive action. Unlike plastic actuators, a metal handle tolerates rough handling, wide temperature swings, and the vibration common in mechanical rooms and on rooftop equipment. The extended handle profile is easy to grip and operate while wearing work gloves, which is a practical advantage in refrigeration and outdoor service.

Typical applications include equipment service and isolation switches, control panel on-off functions, walk-in cooler and freezer accessory circuits, custom panel construction for light commercial HVAC systems, and replacement of worn original equipment switches showing contact arcing or loose detent action.

Before installation, verify that the voltage and amperage ratings suit the connected load and allow additional capacity for motor or transformer inrush current. Mount the switch in an enclosure rated for the environment, use the correct panel cutout, torque terminations properly, and confirm the completed work satisfies local electrical code and the listing requirements of the equipment involved.
