FAAC 412 Single Swing Gate Operator Kit 115 VAC

Single-Leaf Residential Swing Gate Automation with Left or Right Handing

The FAAC 412 Single Swing Gate Operator Kit is a 115 VAC electromechanical gate automation system for light residential, single-family swing gates. Designed for a single gate leaf, the 412 uses an electric motor and internal worm-screw drive to provide controlled gate movement while mechanically locking the gate in both the open and closed positions.

The operator is rated for gate leaves from 6 to 14 feet wide and up to 500 pounds, with up to 719 lbf of thrust and an approximate 16-second opening time to 90 degrees when properly installed. A built-in manual release allows the gate to be operated by hand during a power failure or operator malfunction.

The FAAC 412 is manufactured in two handed versions. The 412DX is used for a right-hinged gate, while the 412SX is used for a left-hinged gate. Selecting the correct orientation is essential because the motor housing and protective cover are side-specific.

Positive mechanical stops are required at both the fully open and fully closed positions. FAAC also recommends an electric or magnetic lock on gate leaves longer than 12 feet. Gate construction, mounting geometry, wind load, temperature, and overall gate condition can affect actual operating performance.

How to Determine Left-Hinged vs. Right-Hinged

Stand on the operator side of the gate, facing the gate, with the FAAC logo on the motor housing facing you. For a typical inward-opening installation, this means standing inside the property with the gate swinging toward you.

• Hinges on your right: Select the 412 DX Right-Hinged kit.
• Hinges on your left: Select the 412 SX Left-Hinged kit.

The DX or SX designation refers to the location of the gate hinge when viewed from the operator side, not simply whether the gate swings inward or outward.

Choosing the correct version is important. FAAC uses different motor housings for the left- and right-hand operators, and installing the wrong version prevents the protective operator cover from fitting correctly.

Conclusion

The FAAC 412 Single Swing Gate Operator Kit provides the major components needed to automate a compatible residential single-leaf swing gate while allowing the operator orientation to be matched to the actual hinge location. Before ordering, confirm whether the gate requires the 412DX or 412SX version and verify that the gate size, weight, construction, and mounting geometry are within FAAC specifications.
