Ensure the safety of your compact heating system with the genuine OEM Pentair 42002-0025S Automatic Gas Shut (AGS) Switch. This specialized high-limit sensor is engineered exclusively for the Pentair MasterTemp 125 pool and spa heater models. The AGS acts as a crucial thermal safety device, automatically stopping the gas flow to the burner if internal temperatures within the heat exchanger reach a critical 140°F (60°C). Constructed with durable materials for longevity in outdoor environments, this non-resettable thermal fuse is an essential replacement part to prevent overheating, protect your equipment, and maintain a safe pool experience.
