Video Transcript for Universal-Design Rocker Switch Spec Review
Today we are going to be reviewing part number PK34310. This is a universal design twenty amp rocker switch with a red pilot light. It's going to have the on and off circuitry so two functions there. This is a single pull, single throw rocker switch with a black nylon bezel and housing. Again, it's going to feature that red pilot light here on one side of that rocker switch. It's also going to feature solid brass blade terminals.
Now this is a universal design for automotive, truck, bus, marine and RV applications. It's going to feature a snap in mounting design. So you can see that it has these tabs here on top that are going to be pushed down. Then once it gets inside of the mounting location, they're going to expand back out which is going to hold the plug or the rocker switch into place. So it's got that nice little feature with the snap in mounting. When it comes to the DC volts that's going to be twelve volts.
DC amps it's going to be twenty amps. The width of the terminals, those are going to measure a quarter of an inch wide. Again, it's going to have the on and off circuitry. The red pilot switch is going to come on when the switch is turned on. You're going to get four terminals here on the back of the housing and they're going to be a blade style terminal. Now, a few measurements to go over with you real quick just to make sure this is going to work good for your application.
This is designed to fit, take a measurement here of the height, approximately an inch and a half tall panel cut out by three-quarter inch wide panel cut out. Again, these are approximate measurements. I'm giving you measurements to get you close to know the actual size of the cut out that you're going to need. Now when it comes to the thickness of the panel that this will install in, that's going to be anywhere from three thirty-seconds of an inch to one-eighth of an inch or to three- sixteenths of an inch, so you got a variety of options with the panel thickness. A nice little feature to have, again, is the universal design for automotive, truck, bus, marine and RV applications and it's got that nice little red pilot light on there.
That's going to do it for our review of part number PK34310 this is the universal design twenty amp rocker switch from Pollak. .

Switch works great, but only after considerable effort trying to identify the pins (the switch comes without wiring instructions). The information for the pins provided by etrailer was not accurate for this switch. The switch manufacturer was great and provided me with a schematic drawing so I could identify the correct wiring for the switch (see the attached photo and drawing). You need to install a jumper wire for the lamp either from the line pin (if you want the light on all the time) or the load pin (if you want the light on only when the switch is on) for the lamp to work. Easy installation in the switch panel in our camper.

Just installed and appears to be working as advertised. The website product details really should say that minimum installation temp is 60 degrees. It doesn't! My son and I had to install it anyway. No choice. Then in stalled R2 doulbe-sided foil backed insulation under the tank ( he's going off the grid in his travel trailer) and we had to do all we could to insure his water system would not freeze. The heating pad is working and we're filling the water system tomorrow. Also the PK34310 rocker switch has absolutely no info about what terminal get connected to what wire! You really need to to have info on your website for this. After some digging online I was able to find the proper wiring connections. It would require almost no effort on etrailer's part to do this.

Absolutely great to deal with. Fast shipping, best price, and real customer service with 7 days a week representation. The illuminated switch I received had no wiring diagram from Pollack (and was wrong when one was found) and was configured oddly. The light wouldn't illuminate when the switch was turned on. Calls were returned and a resolution was recommended by using a bypass wire from the output post to feed the input power post that sent power to the light circuit of the switch (I was having a bad day, should have thought of it w/o the call but didn't).

Haven't installed it yet, but would have liked to see some instructions included. Hopefully, I have it figured out through pre-installation trial and error. It is exactly what I need for adding a heater to my trailer's water tank.

See what our Experts say about this Pollak Accessories and Parts
- Are Heater Pads Self-regulating or is a Thermostat Needed?The Therma Heat heating pads # 277-000164 are thermostat controlled, automatically coming on at 45 degrees Fahrenheit and off at 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
view full answer... - What Functions Do the Pins on the 20A Universal-Design Rocker Switch CarryThanks for reaching out, Bill! I'm attaching a pinout for the Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310, but I'm not sure which of your wires needs to be connected to which function. You'll have to determine what function each wire carries and then match them with the pins accordingly.
view full answer... - Can ThermaHeat RV Pads be Run Off of 12V Power - EMAILED LASALLE BRISTOLBoth ThermaHeat RV Pads # 277-000161 and # 277-000162 that you referenced are designed for 12V systems so they will work if you're just using the house battery bank on your rig. Since the optimal voltage from a 12V system is around the 13.5 mark that's why the specs list it as that.
view full answer... - Simple Light Needed for Horse Trailer Tack RoomThe easiest thing to use/install is the NightMinder RV Task Light # NM-Motion-011. This is a battery powered light that uses 3 AAA batteries (not included). All you need to do is get rechargeable batteries to avoid purchasing batteries constantly. It would also be good to get at least 6 batteries so you can have some charging while the others are in use. Obviously if you want to use more than one of this light then you'll want to get the appropriate amount of batteries. If you'd like something...
view full answer... - How To Secure and Wire the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank PadsThe ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank part # 277-000163 has an adhesive backing so no further method of securing it would be required nor is there anything I can recommend. I would also not recommend covering it for protection as this could be a fire hazard. it In regards to operation, it would work with pretty much any toggle/rocker switch like part # PK34310. I have attached a sample diagram I made to help with the wiring.

- Heating Pads for 50 Gallon Fresh Water TankFor your 50 gallon fresh water tank you will want to use two of the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000163 wired together. You can use the ThermaHeat Elbow Heating Pad # 277-000161 as well, but this is a pad for 3 inch pipes so you will want to put it there as opposed to your tank. You can wire these together in parallel by "daisy-chaining" each of the red wires together and connecting them to your RV's battery; you will then also daisy-chain the white...

- Therma Heat RV Tank Heater Pads InstallationTo install the Tank Heater Pads part # 277-000164, part # 277-000161, and part # 277-000162 together you will simply need to run them in parallel. This means that you will daisy-chain all of the positive (Red) wires together and connect them to the battery on your RV, and you will daisy-chain all of the negative (White) wires together and ground them. You can use the Pollak Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310 between the battery and the pads as a way to turn them on and off. Since...
view full answer... - Wiring Multiple Heating Pads to Switch DiagramYou can daisy chain multiple heating pads like the part # 277-000163 together and run them to a switch like the part # PK34310 if you'd like. I attached a diagram that shows how they would all go together as well.

- Can Multiple Therma Heat Heater Pads be Wired to Single Switch Multiple heating pads like the Therma Heat 25 Inch x 7-1/4 Inch # 277-000163 and the Elbow Heater Pad # 277-000162 that you have can be wired to a single switch. If you are not getting enough voltage with your current setup, it's possible that the switch you are using cannot handle the total amperage of the heating pads. The larger pads draw 5.8 amps (each) and the elbow pad draws 0.3 amps. A higher rated switch like the Pollak # PK34310 might be a better option if your existing switch...

To wire the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000164, I recommend using the: -Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310.

view full answer... - Advice for Wiring Furrion Camera to Constant Power for a 2019 Keystone Cougar 27RESYour best bet is to look for an outlet or appliance for your 2019 Keystone Cougar 27RES that receives constant power and then tap into that 12V power, being sure not to overload that circuit. I wish I had a specific wiring diagram for your camper that I could give you to wire your Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System like part # FOS43TASF but unfortunately I don't so for specifics you need to consult an electrician and/or Keystone directly to ensure nothing is damaged. I do...
view full answer... - How to Connect Fuse to ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ ThermostatThe ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000164 has a 4.8 amp rating. If you can find a fuse rated for 5 amps that would be ideal but aside from that we have the fuse holder # SWC9538 which is compatible with 10 amp or 15 amp # C58450-1 fuses and you will simply splice one end of this holder to the power wire of the heater pad and then the other to your power source. If you'd like the ability to control power to the heater pad then I also recommend installing...
view full answer... - Wiring Diagram for Universal-Design Rocker Switch - 4 Blade - 20 AmpI spoke to Pollak about the Universal-Design Rocker Switch part # PK34310 and they provided me with the following in regards to the wiring.

- Pin Diagram for Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310The switch part # PK34310 that you referenced is a universal fit style switch which means there isn't one wiring color diagram that would be applicable. I attached a picture that has all of the pins of the switch labelled which you'd need to use as a guide for your wiring application.

- Wiring Locations for 12 Volt 4 Blade Rocker Switch with LightThe manufacturer doesn't have the diagram for the switch so I've attached a photo to assist. If you look at the back of the switch with the light on the bottom, the top left is 12V power input and bottom left is 12V power output. The top right is 12V power to the LED light and the center on the side is the ground.

- Does Light Always Stay on When Using Rocker Switch?The Universal-Design Rocker Switch - SPST - On-Off # PK34310 has a red pilot switch which comes on when the switch is in the "on" position and vice versa. This switch uses on-off circuitry, so when you flip the switch to the "on" position your lights will be on, and when flipping it to the "off" position they will turn off. I've added a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting the Light on the Switch for a Water Tank Heating Pad Always Being OnThe first thing you should do is use a circuit tester like the Hook Probe Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to test the power at the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad # 277-000164. Start with the switch turned on and see if you have power, if you have power then turn the switch off and see if you have power. If you have power to the Heater Pad with the switch both on and off or you do not ever have power to the heating pad then you should double check the wiring. Since I do not know...

- Can the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank Be Wired Straight To A BatteryThe ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank part # 277-000164 can be hooked up directly to the battery, red to positive and white to ground but it would run continuously if done so. Therefore, I do recommend installing a switch in-line like part # PK34310 so you can control power but it is possible to hook the leads directly to the battery.
view full answer... - Heater Pad Recommendations for Holding Tanks on Travel TrailerFor your application we have 2 different heater pad sizes: 25" Long x 7-1/4" Wide - # 277-000163 18-1/4" Long x 12" Wide - # 277-000164 These have built-in thermostats that turn on when the tank reaches 45 degrees F and then shut off when the tanks reaches 67 degrees F. To install this you can use 16 Gauge Wire # 16-1-1 and a rocker switch like part # PK34310. Typically these are only installed on fresh water tanks because heating up the waste water usually causes some smells (ideally...
view full answer... - Does the ThermaHeat RV Dump Valve Pipe and Elbow Heating Pad 277-000161 Have a Built-In ThermostatThe ThermaHeat RV Dump Valve Pipe and Elbow Heating Pad # 277-000161 will need to be wired to a switch like the Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310 to be turned on and off. The ThermaHeat RV Dump Valve Pipe and Elbow Heating Pad # 277-000161 will constantly be on when the switch is turned on, it does not have a built-in thermostat to turn it off. We do have the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000164 available, which does have a built-in thermostat.
view full answer... - Is There a Panel for Pollak Universal-Design Rocker SwitchHi there! The Pollak Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310 does not have a specific panel available but I can tell you exactly what size the panel cutout needs to be for this to snap into place. The switch will snap into a 0.830" wide x 1.450" tall cutout and will fit a panel that is 0.093", 0.125" or 0.187" thick. I have added a link to a video review of this switch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is Switch Required for ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank Heater Pad # 277-000164The ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank Heater Pad # 277-000163 can be wired to a switch like # PK34310 but it is not required for operation. The built-in thermostat will automatically turn on the pad when the tank's temperature reaches 45 degrees and automatically turn of when the temp rises to 67 degrees.
view full answer... - Pollak Universal Switch ConnectionsIt may be that the Universal-Design Rocker Switch part # PK34310 is bad. I've included a picture for you of where to connect the wires. The 12V LED light should be connected to an ignition power source if you want it lit when your key is on or to a light power source if you only want it to illuminate when your lights are on. If you've got it wired as the pic indicates there is a problem with the switch.

If looking at the back of the switch, PK34310, with the light on the bottom of the switch, bottom left is power out. The top left is 12 volt in. Top right is 12 volt power to light the switch and bottom right is the ground.
