duct High limit switch Applications

Firestat duct high limit switches are used anywhere HVAC equipment must automatically shut down when duct temperatures exceed a safe operating limit. These controls are commonly installed in commercial buildings, apartment complexes, schools, hospitals, industrial facilities, and electric duct heater systems to help protect equipment, reduce fire risk, and support applicable building code requirements.

Firestat Duct High Limit Switches provide an added layer of protection for HVAC systems by monitoring for excessive air temperatures in ductwork. These controls use a helix bi-metal sensing element that reacts quickly to sudden temperature rises, triggering a snap-action switch to interrupt the circuit. By automatically shutting down equipment when temperatures exceed a preset threshold, Firestat switches help prevent overheating and potential system failure.
