Raypak 160°F Auto Reset Surface Mount High Limit Switch (016213F)

This Raypak 160°F auto-reset, surface-mount high-limit switch is a heater temperature safety-control component. The auto-reset designation differentiates it from manual-reset or differently rated limits.

How This Component Fits the System

Pool and spa controls coordinate equipment operation using a specific combination of wiring, inputs, outputs, and control-board versions. Correct identification is essential because parts from the same product family may use different harnesses, terminals, software revisions, or operating logic. Replacing the correct service component can preserve an otherwise functional system, but troubleshooting and installation should follow the manufacturer electrical documentation.

Match the trip-temperature specification, mounting position and electrical arrangement exactly. High-limit safety controls should not be bypassed or substituted with unapproved parts.

Replacement and Maintenance Considerations

A well-planned repair includes inspecting the condition of the neighboring assembly before reinstalling the replacement. Look for worn mating surfaces, loose retainers, damaged connections, corrosion, or other conditions relevant to the component being serviced. Recommission the system using the manufacturer procedure rather than assuming that installing a new part alone resolves the original operating problem.

For this particular listing, the ordering reference is 016213F. The identifying description is Raypak 160°F Auto Reset Surface Mount High Limit Switch (016213F). Matching the original unit and the manufacturer parts illustration is particularly important where closely related models have different mounting or electrical requirements.
