Honeywell gsk-3 Spill Switch Hwk Ck Series

Product Description

The HONEYWELL gsk-3 is a spill switch designed to detect flue gas spillage in heating appliances, triggering a safety shutoff when combustion gases escape into the living space rather than venting properly. This type of switch is a critical safety component in atmospheric-vented heating equipment, wired into the control circuit to shut down the appliance before dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can accumulate. It is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or gas appliance service professionals during routine maintenance or safety upgrades.

The gsk-3 is intended for use with HWK and CK series heating appliances, including water heaters and similar atmospheric-vented equipment where flue spillage monitoring is required. This switch serves as a field-replacement part, restoring proper safety interlock function in systems where the original spill switch has failed or is being proactively replaced as part of a service call.

Key Features

• Detects flue gas spillage at the draft diverter or vent opening
• Initiates safety shutoff to protect occupants from combustion gas exposure
• Field-replacement design for straightforward serviceability
• Compatible with HWK and CK series appliances per manufacturer specification
