Rectorseal R83230 Condensate Trap Overflow Switch 3/4 in

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL R83230 is a condensate management assembly combining a pre-formed 3/4-inch Schedule 40 PVC trap with a built-in mechanical overflow switch. The 1-inch vertical drop trap maintains a positive water seal that prevents air infiltration and promotes consistent condensate flow. The integrated float-activated switch interfaces with standard HVAC low-voltage control circuits to trigger a system shut-off or alarm signal when rising water approaches overflow conditions. Constructed of Schedule 40 PVC, the assembly resists corrosion and holds up to the continuous moisture exposure typical of HVAC condensate drain systems. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit on primary or secondary condensate drain lines wherever local codes or equipment manufacturers require overflow protection.

The R83230 is suited for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems where condensate overflow protection is required on the drain line. It is commonly installed on split-system air handlers, packaged units, and fan coil units that generate condensate during the cooling cycle. The assembly is designed for use on 3/4-inch condensate drain lines and is compatible with standard PVC cement connections. Where codes require secondary drain protection or a float-switch shutoff, this unit provides both functions in a single pre-assembled component, reducing installation time and minimizing field fabrication of separate trap and switch components.

Key Features

• Pre-formed 3/4-inch Schedule 40 PVC trap provides a positive water seal against air and odor infiltration
• 1-inch vertical drop geometry supports proper condensate flow direction and drainage rate
• Integrated float-activated overflow switch interfaces with HVAC control circuits for automatic shut-off or alarm
• Schedule 40 PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation in condensate environments
• Single-assembly design combines trap and overflow protection to simplify installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation condensate trap assembly for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems with 3/4-inch condensate drain lines requiring integrated overflow switch protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with condensate drain systems and low-voltage control wiring. Disconnect and lock out power to the air handler or packaged unit before beginning work. Solvent-weld all PVC connections using appropriate PVC primer and cement per the fitting manufacturer instructions, and allow full cure time before restoring system operation. Wire the overflow switch into the equipment control circuit per the equipment manufacturer wiring diagram and applicable local codes; do not energize the switch leads before confirming correct circuit integration.
