Beckett BK221UL Condensate Pump 115V 22 Ft Safety Switch

Product Description

The BECKETT BK221UL is a 115-volt automatic condensate removal pump rated for a maximum lift of 22 feet and a flow rate of 125 gallons per hour. Running at 65 watts, it handles condensate water from high-efficiency gas furnaces, air handlers, mini-splits, and similar HVAC equipment that produces continuous condensate drainage. The 2.5-quart tank increases the volume pumped per cycle, reducing motor run time and extending service life. A thermally protected motor provides automatic start/stop operation, and the pump is rated for condensate water up to 150 degrees F. An integrated safety switch shuts down connected equipment if the pump fails to drain, preventing overflow damage.

The BK221UL is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC installations where gravity drain is not practical. Typical applications include high-efficiency gas furnaces, central air conditioning systems, fan coil units, and ductless mini-split indoor heads. The pump mounts on a wall using the included multi-slot metal wall hanging brackets, and a bullseye level on the lid simplifies leveling during installation. A twist-lock check valve installs without tools. After commissioning, the lift-to-test tab allows field verification of pump operation without removing the motor cover.

Key Features

• 22-foot maximum lift at 125 GPH flow rate handles most residential and light commercial drainage runs
• 2.5-quart tank reduces cycle frequency, lowering motor wear over time
• Integrated safety switch shuts down connected HVAC equipment on pump failure to prevent overflow
• Twist-lock check valve requires no tools for installation or service
• Lift-to-test tab allows functional verification without disassembling the motor cover
• Thermally protected motor with automatic start/stop operation rated to 150 degrees F condensate temperature
• Multi-slot metal wall hanging brackets and bullseye lid level simplify mounting and alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation condensate pump for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including high-efficiency gas furnaces and air conditioning equipment that produces continuous condensate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut down and de-energize all connected HVAC equipment before connecting or servicing the pump. Connect the safety switch leads in series with the equipment control circuit per the wiring diagram included with the unit and in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Verify the unit is level using the bullseye indicator on the lid before securing the condensate drain inlet tubing to the 3/8-inch barb outlet.
