Diversitech 6-JMP Condensate Float Switch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH 6-JMP is a condensate float switch designed to monitor condensate levels in HVAC drainage systems. When the condensate drain line becomes restricted or clogged, rising water lifts the float and triggers the switch, shutting down the system before overflow damage occurs. This type of safety device is a standard component in residential and light commercial air conditioning installations where drain pan overflow protection is required. HVAC technicians install the 6-JMP as both a new-installation component and a service replacement in units with existing float switch provisions.

The 6-JMP is suited for use in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and fan coil units where the evaporator coil produces condensate during normal operation. It is typically installed in the secondary drain pan or inline on the drain line. The switch interrupts the low-voltage control circuit to the thermostat or air handler, preventing system operation when drainage is blocked. This application is common in attic installations and other locations where an undetected overflow could cause significant water damage.

Key Features

• Float-actuated switch design shuts down the system on high condensate level
• Protects against drain pan overflow and associated water damage
• Suitable for residential and light commercial HVAC condensate drainage applications
• Sold as a single unit for individual installation or service replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for condensate float switch applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems with standard low-voltage control circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician familiar with low-voltage control wiring. Power down the air handler or system disconnect before wiring or repositioning the switch. The switch is typically wired in series with the thermostat control circuit; consult the equipment manufacturer wiring diagram before connecting. Verify the float moves freely and the drain pan is clean and unobstructed after installation.
