Does The Pollak Light Duty Toggle Switch Come With A Cover Plate
Question:
Does the switch come with the cover shown in the video, or just the switch and the leads? All of the photos just show the switch.

The Pollak Light-Duty Toggle Switch # PK34513 does not come with a cover. It has a small screw on nut and on/off tag that would sit outside of the hole to keep the toggle lever in place. I've installed this switch a ton of times in different trailers and I typically just drill a small enough hole to only have the lever stick through.
In the video I've attached below I wasn't able to get behind the wall to hide the body of the switch so I used a small metal plate we had laying around to give it a more complete look. I typically have to hide quite a bit with little pieces of metal or wood that I dress up a bit when making aftermarket installations in trailers.
We have rocker switches like part # 37212225, which would come with a cover, but the connection is exposed so in certain situations this can be an issue. I originally was going to use a switch like this in that trailer but had to switch to the # PK34513 because the connectors were touching the metal wall of the trailer and would've caused a short.
If you can give me more info on the space you're installing the switch in and how you'd prefer it to look aesthetically then I can help find the correct fit for your needs.
