Most safety switches are wired into a low voltage thermostat to shut down the HVAC system that produces the condensate. This safety switch activates when high water is detected. The Beckett 1502C & 1502UR max voltage rating is 250 volts, 1502S max voltage is 24 volts.

No, the safety switch on condensate pumps are meant to shut down the HVAC equipment if it detects a high water level. The safety switch is not connected to the pump motor in any way and will not affect its performance.

The Beckett 1502UR is rated as a limit control safety switch intended to shut down HVAC equipment when high water is detected. It is not rated as a main operating switch connected directly to a pump. An Beckett IPC13A pump would be the closest solution to an application requiring a submersible pump controlled by a switch.

Yes, all Beckett condensate pumps are designed to handle acidic condensate produced by high-efficiency condensing furnaces, boilers, and instant water heaters. Depending on local building codes, this acidic condensate is corrosive and may require treatment or neutralization before being passed into a drain or sewer line.

Yes, the Beckett CL201ULP, CB501ULHTSP, CB502ULHTSP, CB504ULHTSP, CP651ULHTSP and the CP654ULHTSP are all UL 2043 Plenum Rated condensate pumps, meaning compliant with “Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products and Their Accessories Installed in Air-handling Spaces.”

Beckett sells HVAC products to contractors through a network wholesale distributors, specialty HVAC supply houses and a handful of online retailers like Amazon, HomeDepot and Lowe’s.
