Rectorseal Safe-T-Switch SS2 and AG 1100+ Switch Bundle - Drain Pan

Our review looks at the Rectorseal Safe-T-Switch SS2 paired with the AG 1100+ float switch as a practical safety bundle for HVAC secondary drain pan protection. This combo is aimed at HVAC technicians and homeowners who want a reliable, compact way to prevent condensate overflows and system damage. The biggest reason to buy is straightforward: the Safe-T-Switch SS2 provides a water sealed reed/magnet design with easy installation in tight spaces while the AG 1100+ adds a drill-free, high-sensitivity magnetic float backup for metal pans.

Key Features

• Patented sealed reed/magnet design: The SS2 uses a water sealed reed and magnet assembly to reduce corrosion risk and ensure long term electrical isolation in wet environments.
• Compact L-shaped form factor: The SS2 installs on auxiliary pan outlets and fits into tight spaces while catching clogs at primary pan outlet nipples.
• High switching capacity: The SS2 handles 25 amp carry and 125 amp switching capacity so it can reliably interrupt condensate pump or equipment circuits when needed.
• AG 1100+ sensitivity and protection: The AG 1100+ magnetic float switch triggers at under 1/2 in of condensate overflow and its housing keeps out insulation, pests and debris.
• Pre-wired convenience and drill-free install: The SS2 comes pre-wired with 4 ft of 18 AWG wire and the AG 1100+ installs without drilling, saving time on service calls or DIY installs.

Who It's For

This bundle is best for HVAC service professionals and handy homeowners who need a compact, dependable secondary pan switch solution for metal pans or auxiliary outlets. It suits installations where space is limited and a pre-wired, water sealed switch reduces installation time and risk.

Those who need a low-voltage sensor for plastic pans only, or who prefer electronic sensor systems with integrated alarms, may want to consider other styles; however, for a mechanical magnetic float plus a heavy-duty reed switch pair, this is a practical, cost-conscious option.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy installation with a small L-shaped SS2 that fits tight auxiliary outlets and a drill-free AG 1100+ float.
• Solid safety design: sealed reed/magnet construction and a sensitive float that trips under 1/2 in of condensate.
• Pre-wired SS2 saves time on wiring and the AG 1100+ housing protects the sensor from debris and pests.

Cons

• Some users report variable longevity, with a few units lasting only a couple of years under heavy use, so eventual replacement may be needed.
