Description
Built for Class 8 A/C service, the 2601394 thermostatic switch ships ready to install. This 12/24V adjustable-temperature switch is designed for heavy-duty truck and equipment A/C systems requiring operator temperature control. The 48-inch capillary tube provides extended sensor reach, allowing flexible evaporator placement. Operator turns the knob to set desired cycling temperature between 26°F and 52°F.
Signs You Need a New Thermostatic Switch
- A/C compressor clutch cycles erratically or fails to engage
- Evaporator coil freezes up regardless of switch position
- Air conditioning does not respond to temperature adjustments
- A/C runs continuously and cannot be modulated via knob control
