TRADEPRO® TP-CS3 Condensate Overflow Safety Switch | Clip-On Drain Pan Mount | 24V NC Magnetic Reed Switch

The TRADEPRO® TP-CS3 is the vital "fail-safe" for your HVAC system’s drainage, acting as the primary protection against water damage. Functioning as a high-precision safety sensor, this OEM-focused clip-on switch monitors the water level in the primary condensate drain pan. It serves as a direct communication link to the system's "brain" (control board); if the drain line clogs and water rises, the TP-CS3 breaks the thermostat circuit to shut down the unit before an overflow occurs. This proactive monitoring is essential for any attic or closet furnace series, preventing costly ceiling repairs and structural mold issues.

Key Features

Reliable Magnetic Reed Technology: Specifically engineered to provide a high-sensitivity response to rising water, ensuring a "dry" safety monitoring environment that resists clogs.
Universal Clip-On Mounting: Features a heavy-duty spring clip designed to attach directly to the side of most plastic or metal primary drain pans—no drilling or screws required.
Low Voltage Safety Interruption: Pre-wired for 24VAC circuits, this Normally Closed (NC) switch integrates seamlessly with the "R" or "Y" thermostat wires of all major HVAC brands.
Fixes Leak & Water Damage Issues: Provides a definitive solution for units prone to "Dirty Sock" drainage or slow-moving condensate that threatens to overflow the pan.
Compact & Low-Profile Fit: The slim TP-CS3 design allows for installation in tight air handler cabinets where standard "T" trap switches might not fit.

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip

Take a Picture First: Before clipping the TP-CS3 into place, take a photo of the pan's edge to ensure it is clean and free of rust or slime, which could interfere with the clip's grip. Diagnostic Check: After wiring the switch into the 24V circuit (usually in series with the Red wire), manually lift the float with your finger while the AC is running. The outdoor condenser should shut off immediately; this confirms the "brain" of your system is receiving the safety signal correctly before a real flood happens.

Happy Shouts From Our Thrilled Customers

William Bartlett

Cecil really saved me with troubleshooting tips over the phone. Thought I was going to have to replace the blower motor and ended up only needing a motor run capcitor. Thank you and God bless!

Verified Buyer

Riley Connolly

Cecil and Fidel were absolutely amazing and so helpful. We were happy they were open on Sunday, but was impressed with their knowledge and willingness to make sure we had everything we needed. If you need parts or service or install, I would recommend.

Verified Buyer

Cole Meger

Our AC went out during the hottest stretch of summer, and with a one-year-old at home, we were desperate for a quick fix. These guys came through big time — not only did they source the part faster than anyone else in the area, they also walked me through DIY troubleshooting while I waited. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and run by a solid local family. As someone who owns rental properties nearby, I’ll be sourcing all my HVAC parts from them moving forward. Highly recommend!

Verified Buyer

Carl T. Droste

Had a power outage last night and during the 100 degree heat today noticed that the AC was not blowing any cold air. Pulled the capacitors to have them checked and also took video of the relay making noise even with the breaker was off. The proprietor and her staff were very friendly and helpful. She had the video analyzed and confirmed something was wrong. She checked one of the capacitors was a little low. Capacitor replacement is the biggest ticket item for HVAC repair. It is hundreds of dollars with the a capacitor only about $20.

Fuzzy Wuzzy

Cecil and his family have been a life saver. I walked in with very little knowledge on parts let alone how to repair my unit. All I had was my brother in FL who knows more than I do and Cecil at HVAC Depot. With 2 young kids at home I couldn't afford to wait for a HVAC tech. Cecil walked me through what I needed to know, even after hours when the shop closed. I successfully repaired the fan motor and replaced the capacitor. Thank you HVAC team for being totally awesome. Prices were amazing and I'm forever going to support this small family business. You and your family are what Texas is all about!!!

Verified Buyer

Linda Robinson

I called HVAC Depot and was absolutely blown away by the fast, courteous and exceptional service. They were very knowledgeable about explaining what they were doing and what had happened to the ac system. If you ever need a HVAC team they are best and they won’t hesitate by coming out and they won’t leave until you are happy with the service. Thank you so much for your excellent service. Kudos to you Michelle for your amazing customer service.
