CoolGuard® FS3 Drain Pan Float Switch, 24VAC Condensate Overflow Safety Switch for HVAC Systems

Product Description CoolGuard® FS3 Drain Pan Float Switch Protect Your HVAC System from Costly Water Damage Water damage caused by clogged condensate drains can quickly lead to expensive repairs, ceiling damage, mold growth, and HVAC system failures. The CoolGuard® FS3 Drain Pan Float Switch provides dependable overflow protection by automatically shutting down your heating and cooling equipment before condensate can overflow from the drain pan. Designed for both residential and light commercial HVAC systems, the FS3 continuously monitors water levels inside the condensate drain pan. If a clogged drain causes water to rise, the integrated float activates and interrupts the 24VAC control circuit, immediately shutting down the HVAC system until the issue is corrected. The heavy-duty steel mounting bracket allows secure installation on primary or auxiliary drain pans, while the adjustable design accommodates off-center installations for added installation flexibility. Compatible with 24VAC Class 2 thermostat circuits and rated for 1.25 amps, the CoolGuard FS3 is an easy, inexpensive upgrade that can help prevent thousands of dollars in water damage.
