Rheem ezt-225 Condensate Overflow Safety Switch

Product Description

The RHEEM ezt-225 is a condensate overflow safety switch designed to protect HVAC systems from water damage caused by blocked or overflowing condensate drain lines. Installed on either the main or auxiliary drain line, the switch detects rising condensate levels and interrupts system operation before overflow occurs. Licensed HVAC technicians install this device as part of routine maintenance upgrades or new system commissioning, particularly in applications where local codes require secondary drain protection or where equipment is located in areas sensitive to water damage.

The ezt-225 is suited for residential and light commercial split systems, package units, and air handlers where condensate management is critical. It mounts directly to the main drain line or the auxiliary drain pan outlet, making it adaptable to a variety of installation configurations. This switch is a practical solution in attic installations, closet-mounted air handlers, and other locations where an undetected drain backup could cause significant structural or equipment damage.

Key Features

• Compatible with main drain line or auxiliary drain line mounting configurations
• Interrupts system operation upon detection of rising condensate levels
• Helps prevent water damage from blocked or overflowing condensate lines
• Supports compliance with local codes requiring secondary drain protection
• Straightforward installation for licensed HVAC technicians

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade condensate overflow safety switch for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring main or auxiliary drain line protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect power to the air handler or furnace before installing or servicing the switch. The switch is typically wired in series with the low-voltage control circuit so that a triggered condition shuts down the system. Verify local mechanical and electrical codes for requirements governing condensate overflow protection devices.
