Type L door-mounted, variable-depth operating mechanisms feature heavy duty, all
metal construction with trip indication. All can be padlocked in the Off position when the
enclosure door is open. Further, the handle assemblies can be locked Off with up to
three padlocks, which also locks the enclosure when the door is closed. (The 3” handle
accepts one padlock.) Complete kits are rated for NEMA Type 1, 3R, and 12 enclosures.
They include a handle assembly, operating mechanism, and shaft assembly.

[1] Optional accessory for use with 9421L operating mechanisms. Not used with GJL, NAL, NCL, NEL, NXL, NSF, NSJ, PowerPact™ C, D, H, and J circuit breakers; use field-installed circuit
breaker interlocks instead.
[2] Mounting depth in inches, measured from the circuit breaker mounting surface (control panel) to the outside of the enclosure door.
[3] These operating mechanisms cannot be used with any LA/LH circuit breakers with an MB or MT suffix.
[4] Types LT1, LT4, LX1, and LX4 include an 8 in. handle rather than a 6 in. handle.
[5] For a red handle and yellow bezel, add suffix RY to catalog number, e.g., 9421LH6RY.
[6] Due to gasketing, NEMA Type 3 and 4 handle assemblies are not trip indicating.
[7] Obsolete.
[8] Contains support bracket.
