HAGER WDE2040 Mechanical Timer Switch 2-Pole 15 min Flush-Mounted

Controlling lighting or ventilation on a fixed 15-minute schedule without complex programming is a common need in residential and commercial settings. The HAGER WDE2040 mechanical timer switch offers a straightforward solution: a flush-mounted, 2-pole timer that activates connected loads for exactly 15 minutes after a push-button press.

Who is it for

This timer is ideal for electricians and installers working on stairwells, corridors, bathrooms, or utility rooms where a simple, reliable timed switching function is required. It suits users who prefer mechanical operation over digital programming and need a robust device for frequent switching.
