12-Inch Steel Lever Arm for Light Switches

The Dayton 11X445 is a rod-type lever actuator made of steel, designed to operate compatible light switches. It measures 12 inches in length with an arm width of 1.19 inches and a depth of 0.75 inches. This component serves as the manual control interface for specific switch bodies.

Installers needing a 12-inch steel rod actuator

This part suits maintenance teams and electricians replacing a worn or missing lever on supported Dayton switch models. It does not suit applications requiring a roller actuator, a shorter arm, or a different mounting style. Buyers needing a complete switch assembly rather than just the lever should look elsewhere.

Verify the switch model number before ordering

The 11X445 is confirmed for use with switch models including 11X439, 11X440, 11X444, 11X446, 11X451, 11X454, 11X486, and the 12T835 through 12T897 series. Cross-reference the existing switch body marking against this list to ensure the actuator fits and functions correctly.

Questions about this item

Which compatible Dayton switch models does this 12 in steel lever arm fit?

The lever arm is designed for use with Dayton models 11X439, 11X440, 11X444, 11X446, 11X451, 11X454, 11X486, 12T835, 12T836, 12T837, 12T886, 12T887, 12T888, 12T889, 12T895, 12T896 and 12T897.

Will the 1.19 in wide steel arm clear the same mounting holes as the original actuator on a 11X440 switch?

Yes, the arm width of 1.19 in and depth of .75 in match the original actuator dimensions for the listed Dayton switches.

How can I confirm the lever arm is actuating the switch correctly after installation?

Operate the switch through its full travel; the 12 in steel rod should move smoothly and the connected light circuit should toggle cleanly at each end of the lever stroke.
