Warrick-Gems Sensors & Controls 26C1A0 Low Water Cut-Off 26K Ohm 120V

The Warrick-Gems Sensors & Controls 26C1A0 Low Water Cut-Off is a critical safety device developed for use in HVAC systems, notably boilers, to avoid damage from low water levels. This 26Kohm sensor LWCO, which runs on 120 volts, protects against boiler dry firing, which can cause overheating and system failure. The boiler's water level is continuously monitored by the mechanism. When the water level drops below safe levels, an LWCO is engaged. This stops the boiler's power supply and prevents it from operating again until the water level is raised to a safe level. This proactive strategy ensures the longevity and efficiency of HVAC systems by preventing expensive damages and downtime associated with boiler faults.
