Volteck Surface Duplex Switch

Volteck Surface Duplex Switch

Two-gang surface-mount light switch from Volteck, built in flame-retardant bakelite with two independent rocker switches housed in a single oval-shaped plate — designed to control two separate lighting circuits from one mounting point without opening a wall for a recessed electrical box.

Features

• Bakelite Construction — Molded bakelite body resists heat buildup around the switch contacts and won’t soften or warp with normal use, which matters since this sits directly in the electrical path.
• Flame-Retardant Material — Formulated to resist ignition, adding a margin of safety at a point in the circuit where heat and sparking can occur.
• Surface-Mount Design — Mounts directly to the wall surface with two screws, so it works anywhere a recessed switch box isn’t practical — additions, exposed conduit runs, or replacing an existing surface switch.
• Two Independent Rockers — Each switch operates its own circuit, letting one plate control two separate lights or fixtures instead of installing two single switches side by side.
• Compact Footprint — At 66mm x 58mm, it fits in the same mounting space as a standard single surface switch despite housing two switch mechanisms.
• Includes Back Cover — Ships with a rear cover plate, so wiring is enclosed and protected once installed — no separate part to source.

Application Instructions

1. Switch off the circuit breaker feeding this line before starting — never wire a switch with the circuit live.
2. Confirm the wires are dead with a voltage tester before making any connections.
3. Mount the back cover to the wall surface using the two screw holes, then run and connect the wiring to the switch terminals.
4. Secure the switch body over the back cover, making sure it seats flush against the wall.
5. Restore power at the breaker and test both rockers independently to confirm each is wired to its intended circuit.
