The Carrier 08-2600-00 is an OEM one shot (non-resettable) limit switch rated at 248°F, engineered to provide dependable over-temperature protection in Carrier furnaces and air handling equipment. Once the set-point temperature is reached, this single-use safety device opens the circuit permanently, ensuring the system cannot restart until the faulty component is identified and the switch is replaced — a critical safeguard against repeated overheating events.
Key Features
- 248°F (120°C) fixed trip temperature for precise over-temperature cutoff
- One shot (non-resettable) design forces technician inspection before system restart
- Direct OEM replacement for compatible Carrier furnaces and air handlers
- Helps protect heat exchangers, blower assemblies, and downstream components from heat damage
- Compact form factor for straightforward installation in tight equipment spaces
Why One Shot Limit Switches Matter
Unlike auto-reset limit switches, a one shot limit switch is a single-use safety device. Once tripped, it must be replaced — preventing the system from cycling through repeated overheating events that could damage the heat exchanger or create a safety hazard. This makes the 08-2600-00 an essential component for maintaining safe furnace operation.
