does this switch stay at the On and OFF position or do you have to hold it there?

Stays on or off. Just set it where you want it to be, works the same as a light switch on a wall. It is either on or off.

The switch is a maintained contact switch meaning that it stays in the position you select. It does not return to the off position.

The switch stays in the position that you put it, either left, center, or right. It is a 3 position double pole double throw toggle switch.

This is NOT a momentary switch. Therefore, when you actuate it to off it stays there, when you actuate it to on, it stays there. With two "on" positions I use it as a reversing switch for a stepping motor. Then I can run it forward or reverse or off.

It stays in the on position up or down and the off position in the middle. You don't have to hold it.

It has three positions and will stay in whatever position you select. Up(ON) Middle(OFF) Down(ON)

You can leave the wall switch in and use this switch; but the wall switch must be left in the "on" position all the time.

It's a switch, so it does not have to be held down in order for it to work.

It is not a three position switch but a two position switch! It will only slide right and back to center. It's normal function is to be in the center and there it allows automatic on/off and manual on/off. If you slide it to the right, it will lock the switch off. You do this if you temporarily want to suspend automatic on/off.

If the switch is rocked either left or right, from wither side, the light will stay on. Momentary-on is activated by pushing straight forward on either side of the switch. Hope that makes sense.

It snaps rather firmly into either mode and remains in place until manually changed. So, your answer is: "it stays". BTW, very pleased with the device.

Yes, it should automatically lock when u put it in the on position-if it doesnt just be sure u have it completely switched in the on position or it may have a defective switch.

The light turns on when the switch is in the on position and off when the switch is in the off position. I purchased this switch because I wanted to be able to determine off or on from a distance .

Yes, if it says push on/off like this on here (if it says momentary switch it stays on until you lift your finger)

No, it will remain in whatever position it was flipped to. The switch is manual and clearly marked as to the pressure of the water that will come out. Hope that helps! :)

It will stay off. It will not turn back one unless you flip the switch again. Hope this helps.

Down. Weather the switch is on or off, it looks just like the picture. The "OFF" is really a paddle that pivots at the top and pushes the off button which is located behind it. Hope that helps.

I'm sorry if I confused you. Yes you have to hold the switch. I think that is a safety issue. If you keep the switch down it would be burn you. It gets very hot. I love mine

The function of the switch is referenced in the manual. It turns ON and OFF the HOLD feature.

it is not momentary switch. It is much like a light switch, with an on and off position.

no on off switch, but you do not have to keep adjusting to maintain constant temp

It stays on unless you turn the button off. Hope that answers your question.
