RectorSeal 97647 Safe-T-Switch 24V Condensate Overflow Shut-Off Switch
This product has been replaced by the newer RectorSeal Safe-T-Switch SS3 Condensate Overflow Safety Switch. If you are searching for RectorSeal part number 97647, the recommended current replacement is the Safe-T-Switch SS3.
The RectorSeal Safe-T-Switch 97647 was designed to help protect HVAC systems, ceilings, walls, and drain pan areas from water damage caused by clogged air conditioner condensate drains. This 24V condensate overflow shut-off switch was commonly used with primary and auxiliary drain pans to detect rising water levels and shut off the HVAC system before overflow occurred.
Using magnetic reed switch technology, the Safe-T-Switch 97647 monitored condensate drain pan water levels and interrupted the low-voltage control circuit when an overflow condition was detected. It was a practical safety accessory for air handlers, central air conditioning systems, and other HVAC equipment where condensate drainage protection is important.

Why Use a Condensate Overflow Shut-Off Switch?
A clogged condensate drain line can cause water to back up into the drain pan and overflow into ceilings, walls, insulation, flooring, or mechanical spaces. A condensate overflow safety switch helps protect the property by shutting down the air conditioning system when abnormal water levels are detected.
For current installations, replacements, and updated HVAC condensate overflow protection, use the newer RectorSeal Safe-T-Switch SS3.
