Hobart 81579 Switch DPST 15/16" X 1-1/8"

This DPST rocker switch is used in commercial cooking equipment to control electrical power flow in heating and control circuits. Rated for 10A at 125V and 5A at 250V, the switch is designed for standard electrical load handling in commercial equipment applications. It features a dual-pole switching configuration with six terminals to support coordinated circuit control and proper electrical switching during operation. The switch is installed in a 15/16" x 1-1/8" panel opening and includes a rocker-style actuator with red and black light indicators for visible ON/OFF operation. Commonly used in commercial braising pans, steamers, and heated cooking equipment, the switch supports routine equipment control in daily foodservice operation. When the original switch becomes worn or fails to respond correctly, replacing it helps restore normal power control and reliable equipment operation.
