Bryant 4822 SPDT Main-Contact Maintained AC Switch

The Bryant 4822 is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) main-contact AC switch engineered to control alternating current circuits by directing power between two distinct switching positions from a single input. Its main-contact configuration suits primary circuit control duty rather than pilot or signaling use, giving electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians a dependable way to route AC power within a larger control scheme. This maintained-contact switch is available in Brown and Ivory to match panel and device finishes, and is intended for integration into professional electrical control systems, switchgear, and equipment panels that call for reliable single pole double throw switching action. The SPDT arrangement remains a common building block in control circuits where a single switch must select between two possible current paths, making the 4822 a versatile piece of switching hardware for panel-level AC control.

Key Features

  • SPDT Switching Action: Single pole double throw configuration directs AC current between two separate circuit paths from one common input, supporting either/or circuit selection in a control scheme.
  • Main-Contact Design: Built as a main-contact switch for primary AC circuit control rather than low-power pilot or auxiliary signaling duty.
  • Maintained Contact Action: Maintained-contact operation holds the selected switching position until manually changed, suited for ongoing circuit-selection tasks.
  • AC Switch Function: Engineered specifically for alternating current switching applications within control and power circuits.
  • Single Pole Operation: Operates on a single pole, suited for straightforward AC circuit selection tasks without added multi-pole complexity.
  • Color Options: Available in Brown and Ivory to coordinate with device and panel finishes.
  • Model 4822 Identification: Identified by Bryant part number 4822 for straightforward specification, cross-reference, and reordering when servicing or replacing existing switching hardware.
  • Bryant Manufacturing: Produced by Bryant, a long-recognized supplier of electrical wiring devices and switching hardware for commercial and industrial electrical systems.

Bryant 4822 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the part number for the ivory version of the Bryant 4822 AC switch?
Brown is ordered as Bryant 4822, ivory as 4822I. Those are the only two colors the 4822 comes in, so the color is set by the part number you order rather than by a separate suffix on the order form.
2) Does the Bryant 4822 stay in position after you flip it, or does it spring back?
It stays put. The 4822 is a maintained-contact switch, so the position you select is held until someone moves it again. If your control scheme needs momentary action that returns to a rest position on release, the 4822 is the wrong choice for it.
3) What does SPDT mean on the Bryant 4822, and when would I use it instead of a single pole switch?
SPDT is single pole double throw: one common input feeds two selectable output paths, so the switch chooses between circuit A and circuit B rather than simply making or breaking one circuit. Use it where a control scheme has to select one of two current paths. A plain single pole single throw switch only opens and closes one path and cannot do that selection.
4) Is the Bryant 4822 a pilot-duty switch for signaling circuits?
No. The 4822 is built as a main-contact AC switch for primary circuit control, not for low-power pilot or auxiliary signaling duty. If you need a pilot or auxiliary contact for indication or interlock signaling, specify a switch rated for that service instead.
5) Can I use the Bryant 4822 on a DC control circuit?
It is specified as an AC switch, engineered for alternating current switching in control and power circuits. For DC control duty, use a switch rated for DC service, since DC arc interruption is a different requirement.
6) Where do I find the electrical ratings for the Bryant 4822 switch?
Bryant publishes the switch ratings in its wiring devices catalog section covering switches, as well as in the Bryant full line catalog. Both are available as PDF documentation for the 4822 and are the place to confirm amperage and voltage before you commit the switch to a panel design.
7) I am replacing a Bryant 4822 in a brown panel. Will the ivory one match?
No, the two are different finishes. Brown is the 4822 and ivory is the 4822I. If you are matching existing devices in a panel, order the same color code as what is coming out.
8) Where is the Bryant 4822 switch typically installed?
Panel-level AC control work: electrical control panels, switchgear and equipment panel assemblies, industrial machinery switching circuits, and general commercial or industrial AC power control. It is a component for integration into a larger control scheme rather than a standalone wall device.
