Petross SHP425300 High Pressure Switch

The Petross SHP425300 is an encapsulated High Pressure Safety Limit Control switch designed for HVAC/R systems, including residential, commercial, and light industrial air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration units. This automatic reset switch installs directly onto a flare fitting on the high-pressure liquid or discharge line of the compressor circuit, with electrical leads wired into the system’s control board or compressor contactor circuit. It acts as a high-pressure safety cutout, protecting the compressor from damage caused by excessive system pressure due to issues such as a failed condenser fan motor, dirty outdoor coil, airflow blockage, or system overcharge.

When discharge pressure exceeds 425 PSI, the switch opens to break the control circuit and shut down the compressor. Once pressure drops back to 300 PSI (±15 PSI tolerance), the switch automatically closes to restore circuit continuity — no manual reset required.
  • AUTOMATIC RESET HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL – Opens at 425 PSI to cut off power, automatically closes/resets at 300 PSI (±15 PSI tolerance)
  • HVAC/R SAFETY CUTOUT – Protects compressors from damage caused by excessively high system pressure in AC units, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems
  • EASY INSTALLATION – Threads directly onto a flare fitting on the high-pressure liquid or discharge line, with leads wired into the control board or compressor contactor circuit
  • PROTECTS AGAINST COMMON FAILURES – Guards against pressure spikes from a failed condenser fan motor, dirty outdoor coil, airflow blockage, or system overcharging
  • RELIABLE OPERATION – Automatically restores circuit continuity once pressure returns to safe levels, keeping equipment protected without manual intervention
  • INSTALLATION LOCATION: Threaded directly onto a flare fitting on the high-pressure liquid or discharge line of a compressor circuit, with its electrical wire leads wired into the system's control board or compressor contactor circuit.
