Johnson Controls P70CA-3 Pressure Control
$116.00
The Johnson Controls P70CA-3 is a high-pressure control for cut-out, head-pressure, and condenser fan cycling duty on commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Its SPST open-high switch action opens on rising pressure, protecting compressors when discharge pressure climbs beyond safe limits.

Description
The Johnson Controls P70CA-3 is a high-pressure control built for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It handles high-pressure cut-out, head-pressure control, and condenser fan cycling, protecting compressors and maintaining stable operation across commercial equipment where rising discharge pressure must be monitored and acted on reliably.
It switches through an SPST open-high contact that opens on rising pressure, with an operating range of 50 to 500 psig and an adjustable differential between 60 and 150 psig. An all-steel case and cover shield internal components, while a 36" capillary and 1/4" flare nut simplify field connection.
