The Armstrong Furnace R100811-05 is an L205F manual reset (M/R) limit switch engineered to protect Armstrong furnaces from dangerous overheating conditions. When the furnace plenum or heat exchanger reaches the rated high-limit temperature, this switch opens the control circuit and shuts down the burner — preventing equipment damage and potential safety hazards. Because it is a manual reset type, the switch must be deliberately reset by a qualified technician after a high-limit event, ensuring the root cause is identified and corrected before the system is returned to service.

Why Choose an OEM Limit Switch?
Using the correct OEM-specified limit switch ensures your furnace operates within its designed safety parameters. An improperly rated or aftermarket switch may not trip at the correct temperature, risking heat exchanger damage, carbon monoxide hazards, or voided equipment warranties. The Armstrong Furnace R100811-05 delivers the precise protection your system was built around.
