Bussmann H4X-06RHD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Bussmann H4X-06RHD pistol handle work on a NEMA 4X washdown disconnect enclosure?
Yes. The H4X-06RHD is rated for use with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 4X and 12 disconnect switches, so it covers indoor, outdoor/rain-tight, watertight, corrosion-resistant and dust-tight enclosures. That range is why it gets specified on wet-location and washdown equipment as well as ordinary indoor panels.
2) What amperage disconnect can this Bussmann pistol handle be used on?
The H4X-06RHD carries a 60A rating, so it is matched to disconnect switches up to 60 amps. On a larger switch, a 100A or higher rated handle is required instead; the handle rating has to match the switch it operates.
3) Can this handle be padlocked for lockout/tagout?
Yes, the pistol handle is padlockable, which is the point of mounting it externally: the electrician locks the handle in the OFF position from outside the enclosure without opening the door. It is also defeatable, so authorized personnel can override for maintenance access.
4) How much room do I need on the enclosure door for this pistol handle?
Plan for a footprint of 3.5 inches long, 6.5 inches high and 1.9 inches wide. It weighs .53 lb, light enough that it adds no meaningful load to the door or cover of an existing disconnect enclosure.
5) Is a pistol-grip handle the right choice, or should I use a rotary handle?
A front-operated pistol handle like the H4X-06RHD gives a straight push/pull throw at the front of the enclosure, easy to grab with a gloved hand and simple to padlock. Rotary handles are the alternative where the shaft has to pass through the door and be turned rather than levered. Both serve the same lockout purpose; choose the pistol style when the switch is front-operated and you want a high-visibility, heavy duty external grip.
6) Is there another brand of disconnect operating handle if the Bussmann is not the one my switch takes?
Eaton's C371 Series operating handle is the other disconnect handle we carry. Operating handles are switch-specific, so pick the one built for the disconnect you have rather than assuming they interchange.
7) Can this be added to a disconnect switch already installed, or only on new gear?
It mounts externally on the enclosure, so it can go on existing 60A disconnect switch enclosures as well as new construction. The handle is the operator only, not the switch, so the disconnect itself and its enclosure stay in place.
8) I need an external handle for a disconnect inside a NEMA 4X washdown enclosure - which one should I use?
The Bussmann H4X-06RHD is specified for use with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 4X and 12 disconnect switches, so it covers wet-location and washdown enclosure applications at a 60A rating, and it is padlockable for lockout/tagout. The Eaton C371 series handle is also an operating handle for disconnect switches, but match any handle to the specific switch series and enclosure rating on your job before committing.
9) What part number do I order for the Bussmann 60A pistol handle, and what color is it?
Order Bussmann MPN H4X-06RHD. The housing is red/yellow, the standard high-visibility scheme for a disconnect operator so the OFF position can be spotted across a plant floor.
