George Risk Industries 2800 Water Sensor Surface Mount 5VDC

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 2800 is a surface-mount water sensor designed to detect the presence of water or moisture in HVAC, plumbing, and building automation applications. Operating at 5 volts DC, this sensor mounts directly to a surface and provides a reliable signal output when water contact is detected. It is sold as an individual unit and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or building controls specialists as part of a leak detection or flood protection system.

This sensor is suited for residential and light commercial installations where early water detection is critical. Common applications include drain pan monitoring in HVAC air handlers, equipment room flood detection, and condensate overflow protection. Its surface-mount design allows for straightforward placement near equipment, condensate lines, or low points where water accumulation is likely.

Key Features

• Surface-mount design allows direct placement on floors, pans, or equipment surfaces
• 5 VDC operating voltage compatible with low-voltage control circuits
• Compact form factor suited for tight equipment spaces
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install water sensor for surface-mount applications in residential and commercial HVAC and plumbing control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or controls specialist. De-energize the control circuit before connecting or disconnecting sensor wiring. Mount the sensor on a clean, flat surface in an area prone to water accumulation, ensuring the sensing element maintains full contact with the mounting surface. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer wiring guidelines when integrating into a control or building automation system.
