Description
The Bard HVAC 8402-128BX is an L220F 1-Shot Limit Switch engineered as a critical safety component for HVAC heating systems. Designed to trip at 220°F, this single-trip device provides dependable overheat protection by shutting down the system when unsafe temperatures are detected — safeguarding heat exchangers, components, and the surrounding structure from heat-related damage.
What Is a 1-Shot Limit Switch?
A 1-shot (single-trip) limit switch is a non-resettable or manual-reset safety control. Unlike automatic-reset limits, a 1-shot device requires deliberate technician intervention after it trips, ensuring that the root cause of the overheating condition is identified and corrected before the system is returned to service. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where safety and accountability are paramount.
