What it is and who it fits

The Cooper Wiring Devices 458NP-BOX is a single-pole pull-chain switch rated for 3A at 125V AC, 1A at 125V T and 1A at 250V AC. It suits fixtures, appliances or equipment that need a simple on-off control with a nickel-finished shank.

Check your wiring first

Verify the circuit voltage matches the 125V or 250V AC ratings and that the load stays within the 3A or 1A limits. The switch requires a 15/32-32 threaded mounting hole and supplies two 6-inch 18 AWG leads stripped 1/2 inch for connection.

Build and daily use

The keyed shank, hex nut and finishing nut secure the switch in a panel while the 3/4-inch chain gives tactile actuation. An end bell encloses the terminals and the UL listing (file E18704) plus CSA C22.2 No.111 confirm compliance for installed equipment.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The switch ships with a 3/4-inch chain, connector, 3-foot braided cord, end bell, two 6-inch black 18 AWG leads stripped 1/2 inch, keyed shank, hex nut and finishing nut. No mounting box, wire nuts or additional hardware are included.

How do I pick the right rating for my fixture?

The switch is rated 3 A at 125 V AC, 1 A at 125 V T and 1 A at 250 V AC. Choose it only for loads that stay within those limits; higher-current fixtures need a different device.

What does the 3 A 125 V AC rating mean once installed?

It means the switch can safely control a resistive or inductive load up to 3 amps on a 125 V AC circuit, such as a standard ceiling fan or light fixture, without overheating the contacts.
