Field Controls 46111501 Switch Kit
The Field Controls 46111501 Switch Kit, model SSK-1, is a critical safety component designed for spillage sensing in millivolt and 24Vac heating systems. This thermal safety switch kit features a manual reset mechanism calibrated to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring that the system shuts down if flue gases are detected in the draft hood or burner area. The kit is engineered for reliability in gas-fired appliances, providing a fail-safe against blocked vent conditions or persistent downdrafts. This comprehensive kit includes a high-temperature limit switch, two GSK-3 gaskets, 6 feet of 12-gauge high-temp wire, and a jumper wire for versatile installation. By monitoring the flue gas temperature, the SSK-1 prevents the distribution of carbon monoxide. For technicians working on older gravity-vented equipment or modern 24V control circuits, this kit offers a dependable replacement safety switch solution that meets stringent mechanical code requirements for combustion safety and draft control.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both millivolt systems and standard 24Vac control circuits.
- Manual Reset Security: Ensures the technician must inspect the appliance and venting before the system can be restarted, preventing recurring safety hazards.
- Complete Installation Package: Includes durable 12-gauge wiring and GSK-3 gaskets to maintain a proper seal and electrical integrity under high-heat conditions.
- Precise Thermal Calibration: Fixed 180°F trip point specifically tuned for vent spillage detection without causing nuisance trips.
Is this kit compatible with power-vented appliances?
The 46111501 is primarily designed for atmospheric, gravity-vented appliances. While it can be integrated into various circuits, it is specifically optimized for detecting spillage at the draft hood or diverter.
Can the 12-gauge wire be shortened?
Yes, the provided 6-foot leads can be trimmed to fit the specific footprint of the burner assembly, provided high-temperature terminals are used to maintain the circuit's thermal protection rating.
What causes the SSK-1 to trip frequently?
Frequent tripping usually indicates a blocked flue, inadequate combustion air, or a cracked heat exchanger causing backpressure. Always verify draft pressure with a manometer if the switch opens.
