Bard 8402-096BX Thermal Cutoff 117°C HVAC Safety Device

The Bard 8402-096BX is an OEM thermal cutoff designed to protect HVAC systems from dangerous overheating conditions. This critical safety component automatically disconnects electrical power when temperatures reach 117°C (243°F), preventing equipment damage, reducing fire risk, and protecting personnel and property.

Key Features:

• 117°C (243°F) activation temperature for reliable overheat protection
• One-time thermal cutoff design - permanently opens circuit when triggered
• Genuine Bard OEM replacement part for air conditioning and heating units
• Compact design for easy installation in tight spaces
• Compatible with various Bard HVAC equipment models

This thermal safety device works by monitoring the temperature of HVAC components. When the preset temperature is reached, an internal thermal pellet melts and a spring-loaded contact opens, permanently breaking the electrical circuit. The unit must be replaced after activation, ensuring that the system is not restarted until the fault condition is identified and corrected. Also known as a thermal fuse or temperature cutoff, this component is essential for maintaining safe operation of heating and cooling equipment.
