Fire Magic Emergency Stop Switch - 5550-110S

Fire Magic E-Stop Switch

Product Description

Built for commercial and multi-user outdoor installations, the Fire Magic 5550-110S Emergency Stop Switch allows rapid shutdown of connected electrical equipment in case of an emergency. The large red button interrupts power instantly when pressed, while a clockwise twist resets the circuit to restore current flow. The switch housing is made of stainless steel and includes mounting provisions for surface, recessed, or Fire Magic control tower installation.

Used across Fire Magic’s professional-grade electric grill and control systems, the 5550-110S meets outdoor electrical safety requirements for installations governed by the National Electric Code (NEC 70) and Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1. It connects to a dedicated 110–120 VAC 20-AMP GFCI circuit and may be paired with compatible accessories such as the 5531-11T Timer or 5531-10K Key Switch for full control integration.
