Danfoss 060-5242 Control

The Danfoss 060-5242 (also identified as Danfoss 060-524200) is a heavy-duty KPU5 high pressure cutout designed for precise refrigeration system protection. This SPST pressure control features an automatic reset mechanism and handles a regulation range of 100 to 465 psig. Engineered for reliability in commercial HVACR applications, it utilizes a 36-inch capillary tube for versatile mounting and 1/4-inch flare nuts for secure piping integration. The high-load Danfoss pressure switch contact system ensures stable operation even under significant electrical stress, making it a standard choice for protecting compressors against excessive discharge pressures. Whether you are performing a field replacement or a new installation, the KPU5 series delivers the snap-action response time required to prevent system failure. Compatibility includes all common fluorinated refrigerants, providing contractors with a versatile component for varied service calls. This specific HVAC pressure control is recognized for its trip-free manual operation and vibration-resistant construction.

Common Questions

Is the Danfoss 060-5242 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, the KPU5 series is rated for high-pressure refrigerants, provided the system's maximum operating pressure does not exceed the control's burst pressure rating.

What is the difference between 060-5242 and 060-524200?
These part numbers are identical; 060-524200 is the full code typically used in global logistics, while 060-5242 is the standard trade shorthand.

Can this control be used for low-pressure applications?
No, this is a high pressure cutout. For suction side protection, a KPU1 or similar low-pressure control should be utilized.
