Rotary switch series THPG white glass Duroplast
Rotary switch with durable spring-loaded mechanism and solid screw contacts for our full-surface white glass coverings. The handle is made of Duroplast.
Here in the version as a series switch. With a series switch, two lights can be switched on and off separately and together. There are four switch positions: Off, A on, A and B on, B on. These are each switched by a quarter turn.
Installation note: The wallpaper must not be thicker than 0.5 mm in order to comply with all VDE regulations and standards. Therefore, the hollow wall boxes must be installed neatly so that the plastic disc with a thickness of 1 mm is flush with the wall. The construction of our switches with white glass coverings requires a different installation process than usual: the electrician installs the inner workings and the plexiglass ring. Then wallpaper is hung over the fully connected switch, and finally the coverings are attached. If you want to mount several individual coverings next to each other, you have to take this into account when placing the boxes; in this case, 20 mm spacers are necessary. When installing system coverings, the centres must be exactly 71 mm apart. We generally recommend the Kaiser range of hollow wall boxes, which also includes the appropriate spacers.

New originals. Spring-loaded mechanism & screw contacts.
Rotary switches are the original switch design and have been successfully used since the beginning of electrification in the late 19th century. Like the originals from that time, our models have a base body made of steatite, solid screw contacts and a durable spring-loaded mechanism that reliably prevents the formation of material-damaging electric arcs and flying sparks – and, as an added benefit, confirms the switching operation with the typical ‘click’ of a real rotary switch. These are modern classics that bring the sober functional reliability and simple design language of the past into the present day.
